The federal crossing inventory lists 2,439 public at-grade crossings across the 121 Wisconsin cities with at least ten of them. Superior has the most at 105.

WISCONSIN CENTRAL LTD. operates the most of them at 761, ahead of WISCONSIN & SOUTHERN RAILROAD, LLC at 490.

51% of those crossings carry no active warning device (crossbucks, a stop sign or nothing recorded) against 31% 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.
