How much traffic is reported
The busiest crossing at Glenwood Road on Amtrak (National Railroad Passenger Corporation) is credited with 8 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 14 is 8.

The highest timetable speed recorded at any crossing here is 110 mph.
Warning devices
13 of the 14 crossings carry gates and 0 have flashing lights without gates. 1 (7%) 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.

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.
