| 2013-04713 | Safety Advisory 2013-01; Passing Stop Signals Protecting Movable Bridges | Notice | FRA is issuing Safety Advisory 2013-01 to remind track owners, railroads, and their employees of the importance of ensuring that rails are properly aligned and movable spans are secured before permitting a train to pass a signal that is displaying a stop indication and protecting a movable bridge. FRA is issuing this notice in response to a recent train accident involving a derailment in which there was an unsecured swing span that moved laterally during the passage of a train. This notice recommends that track owners and railroads: (1) Evaluate the design and construction of existing movable bridges to determine if effective span locking is being provided; (2) review current operating rules and procedures to ensure that these instructions adequately protect movable bridges during the operation of trains; and (3) ensure that employees authorized to determine whether movable bridges are correctly aligned and secured are adequately trained to perform these duties. | 2013-02-28 | 2013 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/02/28/2013-04713/safety-advisory-2013-01-passing-stop-signals-protecting-movable-bridges | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-02-28/pdf/2013-04713.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Railroad Administration | 492,185 | FRA is issuing Safety Advisory 2013-01 to remind track owners, railroads, and their employees of the importance of ensuring that rails are properly aligned and movable spans are secured before permitting a train to pass a signal that is displaying a... |
