The federal crossing inventory lists 1,817 public at-grade crossings across the 83 Louisiana cities with at least ten of them. New Orleans has the most at 119.

Kansas City Southern Railway Company operates the most of them at 429, ahead of Union Pacific Railroad Company at 411.

47% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 38% 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.
