12. RR Milepost

Figure 2-18: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 12

Enter the railroad milepost number in miles and thousandths of miles (5.3 feet is

approximately 1/1000 mile). Enter the number with the decimal point in the following

format: (nnnn.nnn). If this accuracy is not attainable, then enter the milepost in miles

and hundredths of miles (53 feet is approximately 1/100 mile). Enter the prefix or suffix

identified with the milepost if it has one or both.

13. Line Segment ID

Figure 2-19: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 13

Enter the railroad identification number for the line segments if the railroad has such a

system. If the crossing has an identification number other than the DOT number, such

as a State agency number (e.g., a Public Utility Commission (PUC) assigned number),

that number may be entered here or in one of the “State Use” fields (Items 31. A–D).

This field is optional.

14. Nearest RR Timetable Station

Figure 2-20: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 14

Enter the name of the nearest timetable station for the primary operating railroad

company. This field is optional.

15. Parent RR

Instructions for Completing the U.S. DOT Crossing Inventory Form

Figure 2-21: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 15

If applicable, enter the code for the parent railroad or the company that is parent to the

operating railroad entered in Part I, Item 1, “Primary Operating Railroad.” The entry

must be a valid railroad or company code, which can be obtained from FRA. Otherwise,

check the “N/A” box.

16. Crossing Owner

Figure 2-22: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 16

If applicable, enter the code for the crossing owner (maximum of four characters) of the

entity that actually owns the property. The entry must be a valid railroad, company, or

agency code. If unknown, it can be obtained from FRA. Otherwise, check the “N/A”

box.

17. Crossing Type

Figure 2-23: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 17

Check the “Public” box if:

 The crossing is located where a public highway, road, or street crosses one or

more railroad tracks either at grade or grade-separated.

 The crossing is a public pathway explicitly authorized by a public authority that is

dedicated for the use of non-vehicular traffic, including pedestrians, bicyclists,

and others, which is not associated with a public highway, road, or street.

 The crossing is a pathway explicitly authorized by a public authority or a railroad

carrier that is dedicated for the use of non-vehicular traffic and is located within a

railway station.

Check the “Private” box if:

 The crossing is a location where a private roadway crosses one or more railroad

tracks either at grade or grade-separated.

 The crossing is a private pathway, either at grade or grade-separated, explicitly

authorized by a railroad carrier that is dedicated for the use of non-vehicular

traffic, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and others, which is not associated with a

private roadway.

If Crossing Type is changed from “Private” to “Public” for a highway-rail grade crossing,

the entire Inventory Form (or its electronic equivalent) must be completed.

18. Crossing Purpose

Figure 2-24: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 18

If the crossing is primarily intended for highway users, including crossings equipped with

vehicular and pedestrian warning devices, check the “Highway” box.

If the crossing is a pathway crossing not within a passenger station, check the

“Pathway, Ped.” box. A pathway crossing is: 1) explicitly authorized by a public

authority or a railroad, 2) dedicated for the use of non-vehicular traffic, including

pedestrians, bicyclists, and others, and 3) not associated with a public or private

highway, road, or street.

If the crossing is a pathway crossing located within a passenger station, check the

“Station, Ped.” box.

19. Crossing Position

Figure 2-25: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 19

If the crossing is at the same level as the road or pathway, check the “At Grade” box. If

the railroad passes under the roadway or pathway, check the “RR Under” box. If the

railroad passes over the roadway or pathway, check the “RR Over” box.

20. Public Access at Private Crossing

Figure 2-26: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 20

Public access means that the crossing is a location where the railroad tracks intersect

with a private toll road or privately owned road or pathway where the public is allowed to

travel without access restrictions. Examples of such locations include, but are not

limited to, shopping centers, fairgrounds, parks, schools, residential housing

developments (of at least five dwellings), libraries, hospitals, clinics, airports, bus

terminals, beaches, piers, boat launching ramps, and recreational areas.

Enter a checkmark in the box to indicate “Yes” if there is public access at the private

crossing or “No” if there is not. There should be no entry made if the crossing is public.

21. Type of Train

Figure 2-27: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 21

Check each box that describes the type of rail service that uses the crossing. Check all

that apply. The types included are:

 Freight

 Intercity Passenger

 Commuter – a local or regional rail system providing passenger service mostly

during the morning and evening peak periods on the general rail system.

 Transit – a local rail system providing passenger service within an urban area

that is not connected to the general railroad system of transportation.

 Shared Use Transit – a local rail system providing passenger service and

having some connection to the general railroad system of transportation. This

category includes urban rapid transit operations through highway-rail or pathway

crossings located on the same track used by railroads that operate on the

general railroad system of transportation (e.g., temporal separation or
