Rail Crossing Blockage
Blockage of Public Crossings
Blockage of Public Crossings
Until recently, the State of Oregon regulated the length of time a railroad may block a public highway-rail crossing.  An Oregon Court of Appeals ruling determined that federal law preempted the State from continuing this practice.  So, the State of Oregon can no longer control public crossings that are blocked by trains. 
 
If you have any questions about highway-rail crossings, please contact us at raildivision@odot.state.or.us or (503) 986-4321.
