The federal crossing inventory lists 16 public at-grade railroad crossings in Kinder, LA, operated by one railroad. 5 of them carry more than one track.

Who runs the track

Union Pacific Railroad Company operates 16 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.

Train services crossing these streets: freight (16).

How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Richard Smith Road on Union Pacific Railroad Company is credited with 16 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 16 is 9. 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 60 mph.

Warning devices

6 of the 16 crossings carry gates and 0 have flashing lights without gates. 10 (63%) 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.
