How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Salisbury Rd on CSX Transportation is credited with 20 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 19 is 14. These are counts the operating railroad reported to the FRA, not measurements, and a crossing's figure can be several years old.

The highest timetable speed recorded at any crossing here is 79 mph.

Warning devices

16 of the 19 crossings carry gates and 2 have flashing lights without gates. 1 (5%) have neither, which means crossbucks, a stop sign, or no marking the inventory records at all. The inventory describes equipment, not how a crossing performs.

Horns and quiet zones

No crossing here is recorded under a whistle ban, so trains sound the standard horn pattern on approach.

Incident history

Form 57 records 4 reported incidents at these crossings since 2016, involving 1 death and 3 injuries. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

  • Mill St — 2 reported incidents
  • Harbor Street — 1 reported incident
  • Salisbury Rd — 1 reported incident

What this page is not

This is a summary of a federal inventory, not a measurement and not a rating. RailContext does not score crossings, streets or towns, and nothing here says a crossing is safe or unsafe, or that a neighbourhood is quiet or loud. Train counts are estimates the operating railroad filed, sometimes years ago, and a quiet zone does not guarantee silence.

To see the individual crossings nearest one address rather than a whole city, use the address check.
