The federal crossing inventory lists 1,680 public at-grade crossings across the 82 Missouri cities with at least ten of them. St Louis has the most at 138.
BNSF Railway Company operates the most of them at 532, ahead of Union Pacific Railroad Company at 314.
52% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 35% 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.
