The federal crossing inventory lists 399 public at-grade crossings across the 20 New Mexico cities with at least ten of them. Albuquerque has the most at 54.
BNSF Railway Company operates the most of them at 251, ahead of New Mexico Rail Runner Express at 86.
39% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 55% 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.
