Ellsworth
Maine.
The federal crossing inventory lists 13 public at-grade railroad crossings in Ellsworth, ME, operated by one railroad. 1 of them carry more than one track.
Who runs the track
Maine Department Of Transportation operates 9 of the crossings here, 69% of the total.
How much traffic is reported
No through-train movements are reported at any crossing here. That usually means industrial or yard track rather than a route with scheduled traffic, but a blank field is also how the inventory records "not counted".
The highest timetable speed recorded at any crossing here is 35 mph.
Warning devices
0 of the 13 crossings carry gates and 2 have flashing lights without gates. 11 (85%) 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 no reported incident at any of these crossings since 2016. That is the reporting record, not a guarantee about any crossing.
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.
