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.”

6. Highway Type and Number

Figure 2-12: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 6

Enter the type and number of highway or roadway designated by the State, such as
Interstate (I), U.S. numbered routes (US), State roadways (SR, ST or SH), county roads (C) or (CR), local city streets (L or LS), local roads (LR), toll roads (TL), State loop/spur (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.

7. Do Other Railroads Operate a Separate Track at Crossing?

Figure 2-13: U.S. DOT-FRA Crossing Inventory Form Part I, Item 7

Enter a check in the appropriate box to indicate if another operating railroad operates over a separate track at the crossing. If “Yes,” enter the FRA railroad code for all operating railroads that operate over a separate track within the same pair of warning devices at the crossing. A total of four railroad codes may be entered with up to four characters each in this field.

IMPORTANT– If the “Yes” box is checked and one or more FRA railroad codes have been entered, each individual operating railroad identified must provide the following data to the Crossing Inventory: header information; Part I, Box 1, Boxes 9–12, Box 22; and Part II, Boxes 1–3; and the submission information. The name of the operating railroad submitting the data should be listed in Part I, Box 1, whether or not the individual operating railroad is the primary operating railroad.

The primary operating railroad, in addition to providing the above information, must complete all of the remaining fields on the Inventory Form, in accordance with the Instructions at the top of the Form.

Note: Please refer to Appendix C for a detailed explanation of how each operating railroad is required to submit its own inventory record and future updates.

• 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.
