How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Fairway Woods Blvd on Central Florida Rail Corridor is credited with 48 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 101 is 0. 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 79 mph.

Warning devices

77 of the 101 crossings carry gates and 3 have flashing lights without gates. 21 (21%) 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

31 of the crossings (31%) 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 35 reported incidents at these crossings since 2016, involving 2 deaths and 13 injuries. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

  • W Colonial Dr — 10 reported incidents
  • W Michigan St — 3 reported incidents
  • N Magnolia Ave — 2 reported incidents
  • W Jefferson St — 2 reported incidents
  • W Washington St — 2 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.
