This report contains summary level data for all open highway-rail crossings, broken out by crossing type (public, private, and not specified). There are four views of data: by (1) state, (2) county, (3) city, and (4) railroad.

This dataset is in a user-friendly human-readable format. It contains the current crossing inventory - one record for each crossing. To download historical data, go here: https://data.transportation.gov/Railroads/Crossing-Inventory-Data-Historical/vhwz-raag. To download the source dataset that contains raw data values, go here: https://data.transportation.gov/dataset/Crossing-Inventory-Source-Data-Form-71-Current/xp92-5xme.

A highway-rail crossing is a location where a public highway, road, street, or private roadway, including associated sidewalks and pathways, crosses one or more railroad tracks. All such crossings are reported by railroads and state Department of Transportations to the FRA on Form FRA F 6180.71 U.S. DOT Crossing Inventory Form. Each location has an assigned U.S. DOT Grade Crossing Identification Number, or crossing ID. This dataset is the source dataset and contains raw data values. It replaced the legacy data download (https://safetydata.fra.dot.gov/OfficeofSafety/publicsite/DownloadCrossingInventoryData.aspx).

Rail fatalities at highway-rail grade crossings. Fatalities may be reclassified upon subsequent reporting. The Federal Railroad Administration collects accident/incident and operational data from railroads.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) works closely with the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to provide information to be used by the MDOT for design of highway-drainage structures. MDOT spends millions of dollars annually for highway construction. Streamflow records, hydrologic analyses of basins, and hydraulic analyses of flooding potential at proposed highway crossings help the MDOT to make more informed decisions on the use of highway construction funding. Flood-frequency and hydraulic characteristics at highway crossings are determined from historical flood-elevation data recovered by the USGS, cross-section data, and correlations with data from nearby gaging stations. Additional streamflow data are collected for ungaged sites when substantial flooding occurs in an area of interest to MDOT. This information not only provides the basis for the design of highways and drainage structures, but also is used by local agencies and the public as a guide in flood-plain management. Data for five sites in Mississippi that were studied during the partial State fiscal year 2019 (October 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019) are provided in this data release. The geospatial dataset includes one-point feature class shapefile with associated FGDC-compliant metadata representing selected basin characteristics and estimates of eight flood-frequency peak streamflows with corresponding stages, or water-surface elevations for five sites in Mississippi. Flood-frequency streamflows were determined using methods described by Anderson (2018). Water-surface elevations were determined using methods described by Rantz (1982a, 1982b). Also included are input files of the step-backwater model described by Shearman (1990).
