How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Garden Valley Lane on CSX Transportation is credited with 2 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 12 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 49 mph.

Warning devices

10 of the 12 crossings carry gates and 2 have flashing lights without gates. Every crossing here has an active warning device. The inventory describes equipment, not how a crossing performs.

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.
