The federal crossing inventory lists 10 public at-grade railroad crossings in Mesa, AZ, operated by one railroad. 1 of them carry more than one track.

Who runs the track

Union Pacific Railroad Company operates 10 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.

Train services crossing these streets: freight (10).

How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at South Dobson Road on Union Pacific Railroad Company is credited with 4 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 10 is 4. 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 40 mph.

Warning devices

10 of the 10 crossings carry gates and 0 have flashing lights without gates. Every crossing here has an active warning device. The inventory describes equipment, not how a crossing performs.

Horns and quiet zones

7 of the crossings (70%) 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.

To see the individual crossings nearest one address rather than a whole city, use the address check.
