The federal crossing inventory lists 933 public at-grade crossings across the 67 New York cities with at least ten of them. Dunkirk has the most at 27.
CSX Transportation operates the most of them at 212, ahead of Norfolk Southern Railway Company at 113.
34% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 56% 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.
