Trains blocking crossings
Louisiana law limits a train to 20 minutes blocking a road crossing, under La. Rev. Stat. § 48:391 (see also § 48:392). We found no Louisiana 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 79 reports of trains blocking public crossings in this county.
