The federal crossing inventory lists 282 public at-grade crossings across the 12 Maryland cities with at least ten of them. Baltimore has the most at 102.

CSX Transportation operates the most of them at 123, ahead of Delmarva Central Railroad Co. at 43.

42% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 27% 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.
