The federal crossing inventory lists 371 public at-grade crossings across the 19 Utah cities with at least ten of them. Salt Lake City has the most at 89.

Union Pacific Railroad Company operates the most of them at 205, ahead of Utah Transit Authority at 77.

46% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 47% 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.
