Trains blocking crossings
Missouri law limits a train to 5 minutes blocking a road crossing, under RSMo § 300.360 (Model Traffic Ordinance); see also RSMo § 71.013. We found no Missouri 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 174 reports of trains blocking public crossings in this county.
