Crossing Inventory
A highway-rail crossing is a location where a public highway, road, street, or private
roadway, including associated
sidewalks and pathways, crosses one or more railroad tracks. All such crossings are reported by
railroads and state Department of Transportations to the FRA on Form
FRA F 6180.71 U.S. DOT Crossing Inventory Form. Each location has an assigned U.S. DOT Grade Crossing Identification Number, or crossing ID. Each Form 6180.71 filed for a crossing ID details the location and classification information, railroad information, highway and pathway traffic control device information, physical characteristics, and/or public highway information. Data for crossings is provided by railroads that meet the reporting criteria outlined in CFR 49 Part 234.3 Application and Responsibility for Compliance.
Reports
are updated with new data on the first of the month. For a crosswalk of legacy site reports

private), crossing position (at grade, railroad over or railroad under), crossing
purpose (highway, pedestrian pathway or pedestrian station), railroad class,
parent railroad, holding company, and FRA Safety Management Team (SMT). For definitions, please see the Report Filter Glossary page.
