Report a blocked crossing
Call the number on the blue sign at the crossing first. The sign names the railroad and gives the crossing number.
CPKC's 24-hour line for the United States and Canada: 1-800-716-9132. CPKC does not list a separate line for blocked crossings.
Have ready: the crossing location and the DOT crossing number from the blue sign. Checked on on cpkcr.com.
Then tell the Federal Railroad Administration with its blocked crossing reporter. FRA uses the reports only to track where crossings are blocked and what that causes.
If someone needs help right away, call 911. How to report a blocked crossing
