How do folks think that this should be tagged? Just use a railway=level_crossing, ref= on a node near the crossing?
railway=level_crossing would usually be reserved to tag the crossing itself, not to annotate it from a distance.
Should it have a special tag so that it is clear that it is in fact a USDOT ID number?
People sometimes use tags like "namespace:ref" to indicate whose number it is, so that would make "usdot:ref=...". (A "fdot:ref" seems to be in common use on Florida highways.)
Tag the node at the intersection of the highway and the railway?
Yes - of course if it really is a level crossing and not grade separated. Grade separated is more difficult because there will not necessarily be a node at the precise intersection.
