The federal crossing inventory lists 14 public at-grade railroad crossings in Lebanon, PA, operated by one railroad. 12 of them carry more than one track.

Who runs the track

Norfolk Southern Railway Company operates 14 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.

Train services crossing these streets: freight (14).

How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at East Street on Norfolk Southern Railway Company is credited with 35 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 14 is 35. 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

12 of the 14 crossings carry gates and 0 have flashing lights without gates. 2 (14%) 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.

Incident history

Form 57 records 3 reported incidents at these crossings since 2016, involving 1 death. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

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.
