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 40 mph.

Warning devices

12 of the 16 crossings carry gates and 3 have flashing lights without gates. 1 (6%) 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 2 reported incidents at these crossings since 2016. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

  • Hawley St — 1 reported incident
  • Town Line Rd — 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.
