NOTICE: Report grade crossing emergencies by calling the Emergency Notification Number (ENS) posted onsite at the grade crossing. Call 911 if the number is missing.
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Rail Crossing Locator helps you locate highway-rail grade crossings and explore detailed information from the USDOT's grade crossing database(s). Users can: locate crossings by USDOT Crossing ID, address or by exploring the map; access inventory records submitted by states and railroads; and view accident history. Users can also select from multiple base maps and identify railroad crossings by their characteristics. This app empowers the public (including transportation, emergency response, and community and safety organizations) to join the FRA's efforts to further improve grade crossing safety and awareness. Please Note: States and Railroads are responsible for the accuracy of the grade crossing physical and operating characteristics within the USDOT inventory records, which are the basis for the information provided in the Rail Crossing Locator app. While the FRA does everything possible to ensure the accuracy of information provided in this app, it is ultimately the crossing owner’s responsibility to provide accurate information to the FRA. FRA assumes no liability for the accuracy of crossing information provided in this app.

Ratings and Reviews
Good, but....
This is a good app with basic information regarding a specific crossing. To do more than just be a resource for acquiring basic info about a crossing, the app should provide live data regarding the status of the gate (up/down), and a way to report gate issues within the app.
This a good app and can become a great one with a little more work.
I LOVE This App!!
I've loved Trains (Diesel that is), ever since I was a kid and to this day, will take a back road on the way home from work where there is a RR Crossing, in hopes of seeing one of the CSX Freights go by. Today, I took that route and the Crossing Lights and Arms were STUCK, about a quarter of the way down and no train was anywhere near for miles and it was causing DANGEROUS problems. I called the phone number that was listed for that crossing and gave them the Crossing ID number. They immediately pulled it up an dispatched someone from CSX, out to the Crossing! THANK YOU, for a great App and for providing VERY important info on the Map, that hopefully, may have saved some lives!!
Great For Emergency Services
Fantastic app for Emergency Services in identifying information about a particular crossing. Allows for users to pass on information to host railroads of stalked vehicles or debris on track right of way. Allows train crews to locate crossing information and relay that to Emergency Services.
