The federal crossing inventory lists 44 public at-grade railroad crossings in Morristown, TN, operated by one railroad. 11 of them carry more than one track.

Who runs the track

Norfolk Southern Railway Company operates 44 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.

Train services crossing these streets: freight (44).

How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Talbott Kansas Road on Norfolk Southern Railway Company is credited with 21 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 44 is 10. 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

29 of the 44 crossings carry gates and 5 have flashing lights without gates. 10 (23%) 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.

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.
