**[FRA Emergency Order No. 28, Notice No. 1]** 

**Emergency Order Establishing Additional Requirements for**  **Attendance and Securement of Certain Freight Trains and Vehicles on**  **Mainline Track or Mainline Siding Outside of a Yard or Terminal** 

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has determined that public safety compels issuance of this Emergency Order (EO), which requires railroads operating on the general system to implement additional processes and procedures to ensure that certain unattended trains and vehicles 1 on mainline track or mainline siding outside of a yard or terminal are properly secured against unintended movement. FRA re-examined its regulations governing the securement of such equipment in light of the July 6, 2013, derailment in Lac-Me  ́ gantic, Quebec, Canada, which demonstrated the terrible consequences that can arise when a railroad accident results in a sudden release of flammable liquids. FRA’s inspection data since January 2010 shows significant non-compliance with FRA’s securement regulations, 49 CFR 232.103(n), with nearly 4,950 recorded defects in that time. Moreover, FRA has seen a number of serious accidents during rail transportation of flammable liquids since 2009, and there has been significant growth in these types of rail shipments since 2011. These factors lead FRA to the conclusion that additional action is necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard of death, personal injury, or significant harm to the environment, particularly in instances where certain hazardous materials are involved. As a result, FRA is ordering that each railroad take the following actions on mainline track or mainline siding outside of a yard or terminal to ensure
