How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Talley Rd on Norfolk Southern Railway Company is credited with 4 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 15 is 4. These are counts the operating railroad reported to the FRA, not measurements, and a crossing's figure can be several years old.

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.
