How much traffic is reported
The busiest crossing at 6Thwo Narrowguage on Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad Company is credited with 8 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 12 is 8. 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 15 mph.
Warning devices
1 of the 12 crossings carry gates and 3 have flashing lights without gates. 8 (67%) 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

Incident history

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.
