[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
