The federal crossing inventory lists 17 public at-grade railroad crossings in Willows, CA, operated by one railroad. Each carries a single track.

Who runs the track

California Northern Railroad Company operates 17 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.

Train services crossing these streets: freight (17).

How much traffic is reported

No through-train movements are reported at any crossing here. That usually means industrial or yard track rather than a route with scheduled traffic, but a blank field is also how the inventory records "not counted".

The highest timetable speed recorded at any crossing here is 25 mph.

Warning devices

12 of the 17 crossings carry gates and 0 have flashing lights without gates. 5 (29%) 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.

Incident history

Form 57 records no reported incident at any of these crossings since 2016. That is the reporting record, not a guarantee about any crossing.

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.
