How many rail crossings are here?

The Federal Railroad Administration's crossing inventory, the record every railroad and state must keep of each place a road, path or station platform crosses a track: the map counts the open public at-grade crossings inside each ZIP, and the card gives the railroads, how many have gates, the trains a day reported at the busiest crossing, the fastest timetable speed, and the private crossings. Train counts are what the railroad last reported and can be years old; a crossing with 80 trains a day on a 79 mph main line is a different neighbour from a switching spur. FRA incident reports count the collisions at the ZIP's crossings since 2010. FRA accident reports add derailments and hazmat releases in the ZIP and county since 2010.

1,229 of 1,233 ZIPs have data; median 1.
