The federal crossing inventory lists 14 public at-grade railroad crossings in Bald Knob, AR, operated by one railroad. 4 of them carry more than one track.

Who runs the track

Union Pacific Railroad Company operates 14 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.

Train services crossing these streets: freight (14) and intercity (5).

How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at South Hickory Street on Union Pacific Railroad Company is credited with 33 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 14 is 12. These are counts the operating railroad reported to the FRA, not measurements, and a crossing's figure can be several years old.

The highest timetable speed recorded at any crossing here is 75 mph.

Warning devices

5 of the 14 crossings carry gates and 0 have flashing lights without gates. 9 (64%) have neither, which means crossbucks, a stop sign, or no marking the inventory records at all. The inventory describes equipment, not how a crossing performs.

Horns and quiet zones

No crossing here is recorded under a whistle ban, so trains sound the standard horn pattern on approach.

Incident history

Form 57 records 2 reported incidents at these crossings since 2016, involving 2 injuries. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

  • Curtis Davis Road — 1 reported incident
  • Liberty Valley Road — 1 reported incident

What this page is not

This is a summary of a federal inventory, not a measurement and not a rating. RailContext does not score crossings, streets or towns, and nothing here says a crossing is safe or unsafe, or that a neighbourhood is quiet or loud. Train counts are estimates the operating railroad filed, sometimes years ago, and a quiet zone does not guarantee silence.

To see the individual crossings nearest one address rather than a whole city, use the address check.
