For one major telecommunications company, the journey to implement 5G was riddled with a significant obstacle: the necessity to lay down 2,000 route miles of fiber each month to adhere to their ambitious rollout targets. However, their existing systems posed a severe constraint, yielding a meager output of merely 200 to 300 route miles monthly. Faced with this stark reality, it became evident that a shift was imperative if they were to keep stride with the relentless demands of the industry.

One topic that caught my attention was the process of obtaining a railroad crossing permit, which, in the United States, requires including a standardized railroad crossing ID. Curiosity piqued, and I decided to do a bit of sleuthing to see if this data was readily available. A quick Google search with the terms "Federal Railroad Crossing Esri" led me straight to the Federal Railroad Administration Safety Crossing Inventory, Form 71. I found that this database contained up-to-date information that could really simplify the permitting process.
