The FRA has established an online portal for documenting delays at railroad crossings across the nation to collect data on the issue.

As a railroad manager, its good to finally see a centralized reporting platform for this important issue.

This ought to be good. Anyone want some popcorn?

I'm a 40 year rail veteran (now retired) and I know there are times blocked crossings can't be helped, particularly in times of mechanical problems and other reasons. But in my hometown of Memphis, NS has been blocking one particular crossing for hours with excessively long trains that won't fit in the yard, waiting on outbound UP crews. I heard the NS yardmaster last week telling a train to be sure to clear Semmes St due to complaints.
