Trains blocking crossings
Virginia law limits a train to 5 minutes blocking a road crossing, under Va. Code § 56-412.1. We found no Virginia 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 35 reports of trains blocking public crossings in this county.
