Rail Crossing Locator
The Federal Railroad Administration has developed a useful application for your smartphone to find out more information about railroad grade crossings in your area. The Rail Crossing Locator displays every grade crossing in the U.S. and contains useful information, such as accident reports and details about the trains that use the crossing. To download the app, click HERE.
Please note that while DRPT supports projects to improve grade crossing safety in Virginia, complaints about blocked or unsafe grade crossings must be made to the Virginia State Corporation Commission, Division of Utility and Railroad Safety. They can be contacted at 804-371-9947 or renee.salmon@scc.virginia.gov.
