The federal crossing inventory lists 2,327 public at-grade crossings across the 115 North Carolina cities with at least ten of them. Charlotte has the most at 139.

Norfolk Southern Railway Company operates the most of them at 829, ahead of CSX Transportation at 681.

30% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 61% 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.
