The federal crossing inventory lists 10 public at-grade railroad crossings in Manteno, IL, operated by one railroad. 3 of them carry more than one track.

Who runs the track

Illinois Central Railroad Company operates 10 of the crossings here, 100% of the total.

Train services crossing these streets: freight (10) and intercity (10).

How much traffic is reported

The busiest crossing at CR 11000 N on Illinois Central Railroad Company is credited with 40 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 10 is 40. 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 79 mph.

Warning devices

7 of the 10 crossings carry gates and 1 have flashing lights without gates. 2 (20%) 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 4 reported incidents at these crossings since 2016, involving 1 death and 1 injury. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.

  • E Adams — 2 reported incidents
  • W Division — 1 reported incident
  • N 6000 Rd — 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.
