How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Pratt Boulevard on Chicago Junction Railway LLC is credited with 2 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 34 is 2. 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 5 mph.

Warning devices

1 of the 34 crossings carry gates and 3 have flashing lights without gates. 30 (88%) 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 1 reported incident at these crossings since 2016. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

  • Greenleaf Avenue — 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.
