Greensboro
North Carolina.
The federal crossing inventory lists 62 public at-grade railroad crossings in Greensboro, NC, operated by one railroad. 10 of them carry more than one track.
Who runs the track
Norfolk Southern Railway Company operates 62 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.
Train services crossing these streets: freight (62) and intercity (20).
How much traffic is reported
The busiest crossing at Elm Street on Norfolk Southern Railway Company is credited with 34 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 62 is 3. 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
41 of the 62 crossings carry gates and 4 have flashing lights without gates. 17 (27%) 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.

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.
