must be in the State identified in Part I, Item 2. |
If the crossing is on a county line so that parts of the crossing lie in two or more |
counties, a decision must be made to place it in only one county. When a crossing is |
located on a county line, it is suggested that the crossing be shown as in the county that |
is geographically south or east of the crossing. FRA suggests that when a crossing lies |
on the border of a county that this be noted in the appropriate comment boxes at the |
end of Part I, giving the name of the other entity. |

Figure 2-10: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 4 |
Enter a check to indicate if the crossing is located “In” or “Near” the specified |
“City/Municipality.” |
If the crossing is not within the boundaries of a city, town, or village, enter a check in the |
box for “Near.” If “Near” is checked, enter the name of the city or municipality along the |
rail line that is closest to the crossing. The city must be in the State identified in Item 2, |
but it does not have to be in the county identified in Item 3, “County.” |
If the crossing is located within the boundaries of a city, town, or village, enter a check |
in the box for “In” and enter the name of the city, town, or village in which the crossing is |
located. The city must be in the county identified in Part I, Item 3. |
If parts of the crossing lie in two or more cities, towns, or villages, identify only one city |
or municipality. FRA suggests that when a crossing lies on the border of two or more |
cities, towns, or villages that this be noted in the appropriate comment boxes at the end |
of Part I, giving the name of the other cities or municipalities. |

Enter the street or road name. Street name aliases should not be used. |
The block number field is optional. In order to complete this field, enter the block |
number (up to 6 characters) of the street or road where the crossing is located in the |
right side of the box. For example, if the closest building has an address of “4285,” then |
the block number is “4200.” |
For new crossings and future updates, enter the full street name without abbreviations |
(e.g., N. Canal St. should be North Canal Street, 4th Oak Ave should be Fourth Oak |
Avenue). |
If the roadway is private and it has a name, enter the name of the road or the owner's |
name. Otherwise, if such information is unknown, enter “private“. |
When the railroad tracks run diagonally through a highway-highway intersection, thus |
bisecting the two roadways, only one Inventory Number is to be assigned and the |
names of both roadways are to be identified in the Street/Road Name data field. |
Therefore, when entering both roadways in this block, separate with “ / ,” for example |
“Elm Street/Main Avenue.” |

(SL), farm to market (FM) etc., and the number, e.g., I-95, US-1, SR-234, C-2096, etc. |
The number of the highway should be posted on the highway and found on State or |
county maps. If there is more than one number, enter the most important route, or all |
the numbers separated by a comma. |
