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 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. |
