Title: Passenger Train Emergency 

Systems. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0576. 

Abstract: The collection of 

information is due to passenger train 

emergency regulations set forth in 49 

CFR 238 to further the safety of 

passenger train occupants through both 

enhancements and additions to FRA’s 

existing requirements. The collection of 

information is used by FRA, railroad 

employees, rescue workers, and the 

public. Emergency responders use the 

information collected to be able to 

quickly find and understand how to 

operate passenger cars’ emergency 

windows, doors, and roof hatches so 

that they can successfully perform their 

jobs and save lives. The information 

collected is used by train passengers to: 

(1) Recognize and immediately report 

potential emergencies to train crew 

members; (2) recognize hazards; (3) 

recognize and know how and when to 

operate appropriate emergency-related 

features and equipment, such as fire 

extinguishers, train doors, and 

emergency exits; and (4) recognize the 

potential special needs of fellow 

passengers, such as children, the 

elderly, and disabled, during an 

emergency; and (5) know how to 

quickly and safely evacuate the train in 

the event of an emergency, such as a 

collision, derailment, explosion, fire, or 

some other unanticipated occurrence. 

Luminescent or lighted emergency exit 

markings are used by train passengers 

and emergency responders to determine 

where the closest and most accessible 

emergency exit is located as well as how 

to operate the emergency exit 

mechanisms. Records of the inspection, 

maintenance, and repairs of emergency 

window and door exits and operational 

efficiency tests are used by FRA 

inspectors to monitor railroads’ 

regulatory compliance with this Part.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Safety Advisory 2010–03 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Safety Advisory; 

staying alert and situational awareness. 

SUMMARY: FRA is issuing Safety 

Advisory 2010–03 to remind railroads 

and their employees of the importance 

of situational awareness and the need to 

stay alert whenever the job that is being 

performed changes, particularly in main 

track territory. This safety advisory 

contains various recommendations to 

railroads to ensure that these issues are 

addressed by appropriate policies and 

procedures. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ronald Hynes, Director, Office of Safety 

Compliance and Assurance, Office of 

Railroad Safety, FRA, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590, 

telephone (202) 493–6404; or Joseph St. 

Peter, Trial Attorney, Office of Chief 

Counsel, FRA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, 

SE., Washington, DC 20590, telephone 

(202) 493–6052. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

overall safety of railroad operations has 

improved in recent years. However, a 

series of events over the past 24 months 

highlight the need to review current 

railroad procedures and practices. This 

safety advisory emphasizes the need for 

railroads to review and update their 

current procedures relating to 

situational awareness, alertness when 

working on or near main tracks, and job 

briefings whenever there is a change in 

situation. 

Recent Incidents 

The following is a discussion of the 

circumstances surrounding a recent fatal 

incident, and is based only on FRA’s 

preliminary investigation. The accident 

is still under investigation by FRA and 

local authorities. The causes and 

contributing factors, if any, have not yet 

been established. Therefore, nothing in 

this safety advisory is intended to 

attribute a cause to the incident or place 

responsibility for the incident on the 

acts or omissions of any person or 

entity. 

The fatal incident occurred on 

September 1, 2010, at approximately 

6:50 a.m., in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, 

on the BNSF Railway’s (BNSF) Twin 

Cities Division, Staples Subdivision, in 

double-main track territory. The 

incident occurred when a westbound 

BNSF track geometry train stopped on 

Main Track #1 just west of Egrett 

Boulevard, a public highway-rail grade 

crossing equipped with flashers and 

gates, to allow a BNSF roadmaster (track 

supervisor) to disembark from the 

geometry car. The roadmaster stepped 

off the rear (east) end of the geometry 

car on the field side of Main Track #1 

and onto the highway-rail grade 

crossing. As the geometry train resumed 

movement west, the roadmaster walked
