How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at Victoria Hill on CSX Transportation is credited with 9 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 31 is 4. 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

11 of the 31 crossings carry gates and 8 have flashing lights without gates. 12 (39%) 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.
