The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) offers an opportunity for citizens to report blocked railroad crossings online. Locate the crossing by searching for the crossing number (listed on a blue sign at each crossing), by a nearby location, or zoom in on the map provided. Then, complete the 6 simple questions and submit. 

FRA’s purpose of collecting this information is to learn where, when, for how long, and what impacts result from blocked highway-rail grade crossings. FRA may share this information with stakeholders, including railroads, state and local governments, and other federal authorities. There may be legitimate operating and/or safety-related reasons for a crossing to be occupied by a slow or idling train.
