The federal crossing inventory lists 12 public at-grade railroad crossings in Montclair, NJ, operated by one railroad. 12 of them carry more than one track.

Who runs the track

Train services crossing these streets: commuter (8) and tourist/other (4).

How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Claremont Avenue on New Jersey Transit Rail Operations is credited with 74 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 12 is 74. 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 60 mph.

Warning devices

12 of the 12 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

12 of the crossings (100%) 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.

Incident history

Form 57 records 2 reported incidents at these crossings since 2016, involving 1 death and 1 injury. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

  • North Fullerton Avenue — 1 reported incident
  • Bellevue Avenue — 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.
