    • Crossing Inventory Source Data (Form 71) - Historical

    Metadata Updated: December 12, 2025

    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.
