Motorcar operations on
this
railroad
are a privilege. Let’s help
ensure
future runs by being
extra
safe
while on the
property.
This will be a long day
of
motorcar operations.
Please be well
rested at the
start of the day.
Wear proper footwear for
the
environment.
Leather boots with steel
toes
preferred.
Please, no
open toe
shoes.
Restricted speed:
Always
be
able to stop your car within
one-half
the sight
distance.
Grade Crossings:
Automobiles have the right of
way. We plan to have flagmen
in
place
at
the major crossings.
Details
at the safety
meeting.
Additional Items to keep
in
mind:
Always
be on the alert for moving
equipment while working near any r
ailroad
tracks
or facilities.
Do not
step or walk on the top of the
rail, frog, switches, guardrails,
or
other
track
components.
In passing
around ends of standing cars,
engines, railroad machinery, and
other on-track
equipment, leave at least
one
railcar length (50 feet) between
yourself
and the end of the equipment.
Avoid
walking or standing on track at
any time.
When
it is
necessary to walk or work on
track, always keep a sharp lookout
in
both
directions for approaching trains.
Before
stepping or crossing tracks, look
in both directions first. The same
is true when
walking around machinery and
equipment
on and about the tracks.
Do
not sit
on, lie under, or cross
between
cars except as required in
performance of your
duty and only when track
and
equipment are under proper
protection.
In
multiple track territory, do not
stand on one track while a train
is
passing on
another.
Always
expect movement at any time, on
any track, in either direction.
Always
keep in mind that a split second
of inattention can result in a
serious
accident.
