The federal crossing inventory lists 423 public at-grade crossings across the 27 West Virginia cities with at least ten of them. Huntington has the most at 36.
CSX Transportation operates the most of them at 175, ahead of Norfolk Southern Railway Company at 71.
49% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 23% 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.
