Crossings / Connecticut
Connecticut
crossings.
The federal crossing inventory lists 73 public at-grade crossings across the 6 Connecticut cities with at least ten of them. Plainfield has the most at 14.
Providence & Worcester Railroad Company operates the most of them at 32, ahead of HOUSATONIC RAILROAD COMPANY, INC. at 18.
21% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 51% 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.
