Crossings / Mississippi
Mississippi
crossings.
The federal crossing inventory lists 1,362 public at-grade crossings across the 69 Mississippi cities with at least ten of them. Columbus has the most at 68.
Kansas City Southern Railway Company operates the most of them at 279, ahead of Illinois Central Railroad Company at 238.
52% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 35% 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.
