Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 45, November 8, 2024

Section 1546.20 - General Requirements

a) Walkways may be surfaced with asphalt, concrete, planking, grating,

native material, crushed material, or other similar material. When crushed material is used, 100% of the material must be capable of passing through a 11/2" square sieve opening and 90-100% of the material must be capable of passing through a 1" square sieve opening, provided, however, a de minimus variation shall not be a violation of this Part in an instance where the rail carrier has made a good faith effort to comply with the percentage requirements. Smaller crushed material is preferable. It should be used where drainage and durability issues do not arise. Material that is 3/4" or less in size is recommended for switching lead tracks.

b) Walkways must have a reasonably uniform surface and must be maintained in a safe condition without compromising track drainage.

c) Cross slopes for walkways shall not exceed 1" of elevation for each 8" of horizontal length in any direction.

d) Walkways shall be a minimum width of 2 feet.

e) Walkways within the scope of this Part shall be kept reasonably free of

spilled fuel oil, sand, posts, rocks, and other hazards or obstructions.
