Appendix C-1
APPENDIX C – Reporting Crossings That Have Multiple Operating
Railroads
Except for situations where multiple railroads or urban rapid transit operators
operate trains on separate tracks through the same crossing, if more than one
operating railroad operates trains through a single highway-rail or pathway
crossing, the primary operating railroad is responsible for submitting and
updating crossing data on behalf of all the operating railroads that operate
through the crossing.
Note: The primary operating railroad is the operating railroad that either owns
or maintains the track through the highway-rail or pathway crossing, unless the
crossing is located within a private company, port, or dock area. If more than
one operating railroad either owns or maintains the track through the highwayrail or pathway crossing, or if no operating railroad owns or maintains the track
through the highway-rail or pathway crossing, then the operating railroad that
operates the highest number of trains through the crossing is the primary
operating railroad. In the event that there is only one operating railroad that
operates one or more trains through a highway-rail or pathway crossing, that
operating railroad is the primary operating railroad.

Where multiple railroads or urban rapid transit operators operate trains on
separate tracks through the same crossing, each railroad or urban rapid transit
operator must submit crossing data to the Crossing Inventory (see Part I, Item 7
above), and each must place its name in the field titled “Primary Operating
Railroad” (this links each railroad to the data it has submitted). The primary
operating railroad must submit the rest of the railroad-required data. Except for
the train counts, the National Crossing Inventory Record will reflect the data for
the primary operating railroad.
The FRA data management system will combine the critical data (such as train
counts) to produce a combined Crossing Inventory Record for the crossing for
analyzing the risk along with providing the individual records for each of the
operating railroads. Each railroad must place its name in the field titled
“Primary Operating Railroad” in Part 1, Box 1, in order to make clear which
record belongs to which railroad.
Each Inventory Form submitted by multiple operating railroads for the same
crossing will have the same crossing inventory number.

separate tracks through the same crossing.

crossing, the primary operating railroad is responsible for submitting and

updating crossing data on behalf of all the operating railroads that operate
