The federal crossing inventory lists 3,616 public at-grade crossings across the 185 Ohio cities with at least ten of them. Toledo has the most at 103.
Norfolk Southern Railway Company operates the most of them at 964, ahead of CSX Transportation at 958.
28% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 63% 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.
