The federal crossing inventory lists 81 public at-grade crossings across the 5 Delaware cities with at least ten of them. Wilmington has the most at 25.
Delmarva Central Railroad Co. operates the most of them at 53, ahead of Norfolk Southern Railway Company at 13.
20% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 31% 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.
