The federal crossing inventory lists 3,821 public at-grade crossings across the 151 California cities with at least ten of them. Los Angeles has the most at 164.

Union Pacific Railroad Company operates the most of them at 1,513, ahead of BNSF Railway Company at 442.

31% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 59% 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.
