The federal crossing inventory lists 6,670 public at-grade crossings across the 273 Texas cities with at least ten of them. Houston has the most at 424.

Union Pacific Railroad Company operates the most of them at 3,030, ahead of BNSF Railway Company at 1,541.

31% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 64% 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.
