Section 705.150 - On bridges and trestles1. Every railroad shall construct and maintain, adjacent to at least one side of its tracks, walkways on all newly constructed bridges and trestles.2. Every railroad shall construct and maintain, adjacent to at least one side of its tracks, walkways on all bridges and trestles designated by the Commission after a hearing. Except as provided in subsection 3, walkways must be located so that they will provide a minimum side clearance of 8 feet from the center of the track to the outside edge of the walkway.3. Compliance with the 8-foot requirement referred to in subsection 2 will be waived by the Commission with regard to all designated bridges and trestles which presently have minimum side clearances of less than 8 feet if the common carrier railroads are able to show to the Commission's approval that compliance with the 8-foot requirement is structurally or economically unfeasible.4. All walkways must be kept free from obstacles which would render them unsafe or difficult to traverse on foot, except as to those facilities whose minimum clearances are prescribed by other sections of this chapter.5. Walkways must be equipped with a securely attached handrail located on the side of the walkway farthest from the track, except no handrails are required on through-girder structures. Handrails must be located so as to comply with the clearance standards set forth in paragraph (g) of subsection 1 of NAC 705.030.6. Walkways on bridges and trestles must conform to the standards of width, surface and vertical placement for walkways alongside track set forth in NAC 705.160, except that the inside edge of such a walkway may be placed closer than 6 feet from the nearest rail when necessary.7. The provisions of this section do not apply to culverts.Nev. Admin. Code § 705.150
