Trains blocking crossings
Idaho law limits a train to 15 minutes blocking a road crossing, under Idaho Code § 49-1425. We found no Idaho court ruling on this limit. Courts elsewhere have held similar limits preempted by federal law, so it may not be enforceable against railroads. Checked 16 October 2026.
The FRA lists 40 reports of trains blocking public crossings in this county.
