The federal crossing inventory lists 1,846 public at-grade crossings across the 81 Alabama cities with at least ten of them. Birmingham has the most at 139.

Norfolk Southern Railway Company operates the most of them at 615, ahead of CSX Transportation at 499.

50% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 33% with gates.

Crossing counts follow how much track runs through a place, not how busy or how loud it is. A city with many short industrial spurs will list more crossings than one with a single mainline carrying far more trains.
