The federal crossing inventory lists 3,033 public at-grade crossings across the 153 Michigan cities with at least ten of them. Detroit has the most at 154.

CSX Transportation operates the most of them at 399, ahead of Lake State Railway Company at 350.

44% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 34% 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.
