Have ready: the street or roadway name, the city and the six-digit DOT crossing number on the sign. Checked on on norfolksouthern.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.
