Crossings / Minnesota / Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids
Minnesota.
The federal crossing inventory lists 11 public at-grade railroad crossings in Grand Rapids, MN, operated by one railroad. Each carries a single track.
Who runs the track
BNSF Railway Company operates 11 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.
Train services crossing these streets: freight (11).
How much traffic is reported
The busiest crossing at 7th Ave Se on BNSF Railway Company is credited with 2 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 11 is 2. 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 50 mph.
Warning devices
10 of the 11 crossings carry gates and 0 have flashing lights without gates. 1 (9%) 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
8 of the crossings (73%) are recorded under a whistle ban. A quiet zone is not silence: horns still sound for emergencies, track workers and at the engineer's discretion, and the status in the inventory is only as current as the last railroad filing.
Incident history
Form 57 records no reported incident at any of these crossings since 2016. That is the reporting record, not a guarantee about any crossing.
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.
