The federal crossing inventory lists 17 public at-grade railroad crossings in West Monroe, LA, operated by one railroad. 4 of them carry more than one track.

Who runs the track

Kansas City Southern Railway Company operates 17 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.

Train services crossing these streets: freight (17).

How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at River Front St on Kansas City Southern Railway Company is credited with 13 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 17 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 59 mph.

Warning devices

6 of the 17 crossings carry gates and 1 have flashing lights without gates. 10 (59%) 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

2 of the crossings (12%) 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 6 reported incidents at these crossings since 2016, involving 10 injuries. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

  • Cheniere Baptist Church Road — 2 reported incidents
  • Montgomery Ave — 1 reported incident
  • River Front St — 1 reported incident
  • Well Rd — 1 reported incident
  • Exchange Street — 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.
