The federal crossing inventory lists 195 public at-grade crossings across the 12 Maine cities with at least ten of them. Portland has the most at 36.
CSX Transportation operates the most of them at 70, ahead of Maine Department Of Transportation at 37.
41% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 24% 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.
