Typical number of daily train movements means the normal or average daily train movements. “Through Trains” are trains whose primary responsibility is to move cars over the road, and there may be a limited number of pickups and setouts along the route. Classify all others, (i.e., locals, industrial runs, switch engine) as switching movements. Include the total number of the train movements both for the reporting "operating" railroad and for any other railroad operating over the crossing.
1.D. If less than One movement per day? - (READ ONLY) Indicates whether train frequency is less than one train per day.

5. Does another RR operate over your track at crossing? - (READ ONLY) Indicates whether another railroad operates over the track at the crossing. If Yes, enter the FRA railroad code for all railroads that operate trains over the track at the crossing. Up to four railroad codes, in codes of up to four characters each, may be entered in this field.
