The federal crossing inventory lists 40 public at-grade railroad crossings in Lebanon, TN, operated by one railroad. 2 of them carry more than one track.

Who runs the track

Nashville & Eastern Railroad Corp operates 40 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.

Train services crossing these streets: freight (33), commuter (20) and tourist/other (20).

How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Powell Grove on Nashville & Eastern Railroad Corp is credited with 10 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 40 is 6. 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 25 mph.

Warning devices

15 of the 40 crossings carry gates and 10 have flashing lights without gates. 15 (38%) 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

4 of the crossings (10%) are recorded under a whistle ban. A quiet zone is not silence: horns still sound for emergencies, track workers and at the engineer's discretion, and the status in the inventory is only as current as the last railroad filing.

Incident history

Form 57 records 9 reported incidents at these crossings since 2016. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

  • Greenwood St — 2 reported incidents
  • Hartmann Drive — 1 reported incident
  • Hidden Acres — 1 reported incident
  • Main Street — 1 reported incident
  • Maple St — 1 reported incident

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.
