How much traffic is reported
The busiest crossing at 55th Street on Iowa Interstate Railroad is credited with 13 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 16 is 1. 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 20 mph.
Warning devices
11 of the 16 crossings carry gates and 3 have flashing lights without gates. 2 (13%) 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 1 reported incident at these crossings since 2016. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

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.
