Railroad Department

The Railroad Department monitors the operations of twenty-four Oklahoma railroads for compliance with state railroad crossing safety regulations for more than 4,100 public, at- grade crossings in the state.  The Railroad Department investigates and makes recommendations concerning railroad crossing openings, closings, and crossing signal upgrades.  You may reach this Department at (405) 521-3407.

 If you encounter a crossing that is blocked by a non-moving train for a period of more than 20 minutes, or if there is an emergency, you can find a toll free emergency number posted at the crossing. Be sure to give the DOT crossing number posted when you call.

 Here are some examples of the posted emergency number signs:
