The federal crossing inventory lists 1,753 public at-grade crossings across the 109 Nebraska cities with at least ten of them. Lincoln has the most at 60.

BNSF Railway Company operates the most of them at 783, ahead of Union Pacific Railroad Company at 552.

69% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 24% 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.
