How much traffic is reported
The busiest crossing at White Circle Road on CSX Transportation is credited with 10 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 25 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 35 mph.
Warning devices
20 of the 25 crossings carry gates and 0 have flashing lights without gates. 5 (20%) 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
1 of the crossings (4%) are recorded under a whistle ban. A quiet zone is not silence: horns still sound for emergencies, track workers and at the engineer's discretion, and the status in the inventory is only as current as the last railroad filing.

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.
