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 10 mph.

Warning devices

8 of the 20 crossings carry gates and 5 have flashing lights without gates. 7 (35%) 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.

  • International Way — 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.
