Abstract
FRA is amending the final rule requiring that railroads comply with specific maintenance, inspection, and testing requirements for active highway-rail grade crossing warning systems. The final rule being amended also requires that railroads take specific and timely actions to protect the traveling public and railroad employees from the hazards posed by malfunctioning highway-rail grade crossing warning systems. The amendments issued today are technical corrections which clarify the rule which was published on September 30, 1994.
