The federal crossing inventory lists 1,043 public at-grade crossings across the 49 Colorado cities with at least ten of them. Denver has the most at 166.
Union Pacific Railroad Company operates the most of them at 326, ahead of BNSF Railway Company at 310.
55% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 39% with gates.
Crossing counts follow how much track runs through a place, not how busy or how loud it is. A city with many short industrial spurs will list more crossings than one with a single mainline carrying far more trains.
