How much traffic is reported
The busiest crossing at E Warehouse Court on Norfolk Southern Railway Company is credited with 17 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 55 is 0. 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
22 of the 55 crossings carry gates and 11 have flashing lights without gates. 22 (40%) 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.
