The federal crossing inventory lists 721 public at-grade crossings across the 43 Idaho cities with at least ten of them. Idaho Falls has the most at 36.
Union Pacific Railroad Company operates the most of them at 314, ahead of Eastern Idaho Railroad, LLC at 210.
64% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 21% 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.
