The federal crossing inventory lists 31 public at-grade railroad crossings in Odessa, TX, operated by one railroad. 7 of them carry more than one track.

Who runs the track

Union Pacific Railroad Company operates 31 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.

Train services crossing these streets: freight (31).

How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Coors Road on Union Pacific Railroad Company is credited with 21 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 31 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 70 mph.

Warning devices

18 of the 31 crossings carry gates and 0 have flashing lights without gates. 13 (42%) 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

8 of the crossings (26%) 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 26 reported incidents at these crossings since 2016, involving 2 deaths and 7 injuries. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

  • US 80 Crossover — 3 reported incidents
  • West Murphy Street — 3 reported incidents

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.
