Trains blocking crossings
Mississippi law limits a train to 5 minutes blocking a road crossing, under Miss. Code Ann. §§ 77-9-235, 77-9-236, 97-25-37. We found no Mississippi 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 1 report of trains blocking public crossings in this county.
