The federal crossing inventory lists 1,821 public at-grade crossings across the 85 South Carolina cities with at least ten of them. Columbia has the most at 81.

CSX Transportation operates the most of them at 743, ahead of Norfolk Southern Railway Company at 530.

42% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 49% 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.
