The federal crossing inventory lists 1,465 public at-grade crossings across the 87 Pennsylvania cities with at least ten of them. Philadelphia has the most at 101.

Norfolk Southern Railway Company operates the most of them at 343, ahead of CSX Transportation at 158.

42% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 29% 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.
