How this number works

We add the trains a day at public crossings within 1 mile. A crossing within a quarter mile counts in full, and its weight falls to zero at 1 mile. Only the busiest weighted crossing counts, so one train is not counted again at each crossing on its line.

We add the middle of the night horn estimate for crossings within half a mile.

The total becomes a number from 0 to 100 on one curve. Higher means more trains near the address, not better or worse.
