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 railroad
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 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 or equipment.
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. |
