20,031 open, public, at-grade railroad crossings that the Federal Railroad Administration's crossing inventory lists on a state highway system, as of October 26, 2026. Pick a state or zoom in, then tap a crossing for the road, the railroad, the number of tracks and whether it has gates or flashing lights.
This map does not show whether a train is on a crossing. It shows where crossings on state highways are. A red ring means FRA lists gate arms at the crossing.

The FRA keeps a record for every railroad crossing in the country, about 439,000 records counting closed ones. This map keeps the records marked open, public, at road level and on a state highway system: 20,054 records, of which 23 have no usable location and are left off, leaving 20,031. Private farm and plant crossings, bridges and underpasses, and closed crossings are left out. "On a state highway system" is FRA's flag, so a few crossings sit on a state-maintained road that is not a numbered route.
Where a crossing is on the same highway FRA names and within 150 meters of MileCheck's mile marker line for that highway, the card shows an approximate mile, worked out between the two nearest mile markers. That is about 4,300 crossings. The rest show no mile, because we could not confirm the highway. The mile is our estimate, not part of the FRA record.
Each record is filed by the railroad and the state. Locations come from those records and some are off by a few hundred feet. Track counts and gate equipment come from the last time the railroad updated the record, shown on each card. Train counts are railroad-reported and can be years old.
If a crossing's gates are stuck or something is on the tracks, call the number on the blue Emergency Notification sign posted at the crossing. Public crossings are required to have one, with the crossing number on it. The card also shows the railroad's number from the FRA record, which can be out of date, so the sign comes first. If anyone is in danger, call 911.
On the road, the MileCheck app shows your nearest mile marker, live closures and DOT cameras. See also Seattle drawbridges, steep grades and every MileCheck map.
