Trains blocking crossings

Ohio law limits a train to 5 minutes blocking a road crossing, under Ohio Rev. Code § 5589.21. A court has held that federal law preempts this limit, so it generally cannot be enforced against railroads. Checked 16 October 2026.

The FRA lists 58 reports of trains blocking public crossings in this county.
