The federal crossing inventory lists 10 public at-grade railroad crossings in Covington, TN, operated by one railroad. Each carries a single track.

Who runs the track

Illinois Central Railroad Company operates 10 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.

Train services crossing these streets: freight (10), intercity (10) and shared use transit (10).

How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Rialto Road on Illinois Central Railroad Company is credited with 21 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 10 is 21. 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 79 mph.

Warning devices

10 of the 10 crossings carry gates and 0 have flashing lights without gates. Every crossing here has an active warning device. 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. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

  • Industrial — 1 reported incident
  • East Liberty Ave — 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.
