| Motorcar operations on this railroad are
a privilege. Lets 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. |
