622.240. Authority of division to require safety devices and safeguards — prohibition against red signs adjacent to tracks, when. —
1. The division may, after a hearing had upon its own motion or upon complaint, by general or special orders, rules or regulations, or otherwise, require every person, corporation, and carrier to maintain and operate its line, plant, system, equipment, apparatus, tracks and premises in such manner as to promote and safeguard the health and safety of its employees, passengers, customers, and the public. The division may prescribe, among other things, the installation, use, maintenance and operation of appropriate safety and other devices or appliances. The division may waive the requirements for notice and hearing and provide for expeditious issuance of an order in any case in which the division determines that the failure to do so would result in the likelihood of imminent threat of serious harm to life or property, except that the division shall include in such an order an opportunity for hearing as soon as practicable after the issuance of such order.
2. No person, partnership, firm or corporation shall set up, install, operate or cause to be operated, upon the person's or its premises, any sign or light commonly known as "red neon" or any other kind of red signs, along, adjacent to or in line of vision of any main line track of a railroad in this state, except the same be shaded or shielded, so as to prevent them from being observed from the line of vision, as viewed from an approaching locomotive cab, or where they may cause confusion to the men in the locomotive cab, thereby endangering the safe and efficient operating of such train or locomotive. The division shall inspect such confusing signs, upon complaint, and determine if such sign or signs are confusing or dangerous, and advise the owner or operator of their findings and prescribe an adequate shield therefor.

622.260. Investigation of acts or omissions by division — complaints made to division, form — division's response to complaint, order. —
1. The division may, of its own motion, investigate or make inquiry, in a manner to be determined by it, as to any act or thing done or omitted to be done by any common carrier subject to its supervision, and the division shall make such inquiry in regard to any act or thing done or omitted to be done by any such carrier, person or corporation in violation of any provision of law or in violation of any order or decision of the division.
2. Complaints may be made to the division by any person or corporation aggrieved, by petition or complaint, in writing, setting forth anything or act done or omitted to be done by any common carrier in violation, or claimed to be in violation, of any provision of law or of the terms and conditions of its franchise or charter or of any order or decision of the division. Upon the presentation of such a complaint the division shall cause a copy thereof to be forwarded to the carrier, person or corporation complained of, which may be accompanied by an order, directed to such carrier, person or corporation, requiring that the matters complained of be satisfied, or that the charges be answered in writing within a time to be specified by the division. If the carrier, person or corporation complained of shall make reparation for any injury alleged and shall cease to commit, or to permit, the violation of law, franchise, order or decision charged in the complaint, and shall notify the division of that fact before the time allowed for answer, the division need take no further action on the charges. If, however, the charges contained in such petition be not thus satisfied, and it shall appear to the division that there are reasonable grounds therefor, it shall investigate such charges in such manner and by such means as it shall deem proper, and take such action within its powers as the facts justify.
3. Whenever the division shall investigate any matter complained of by any person or corporation aggrieved by any act or omission of a common carrier under this section, it shall be its duty, within sixty days after final submission, to make and file an order either dismissing the petition or complaint or directing the carrier, person or corporation complained of to satisfy the cause of complaint in whole or to the extent which the division may specify and require.

622.290. Injunctions, when sought — answer to petition, time to answer — joinder of parties — final judgment. —
1. Whenever the division shall be of the opinion that a carrier, person or corporation is failing or omitting or about to fail or omit to do anything required of it by law or by order or decision of the division, or is doing anything or about to do anything or permitting anything or about to permit anything to be done, contrary to or in violation of law or of any order or decision of the division, it shall direct the general counsel to the division to commence an action or proceeding in any circuit court of the state of Missouri in the name of the division for the purpose of having such violations or threatened violations stopped and prevented either by mandamus or injunctions.

Such relief shall not be limited to permanent forms of mandamus and injunction, but shall include all available forms of injunction and mandamus, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, permanent injunctions, preliminary orders of mandamus, and permanent orders of mandamus.

4. The final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall either dismiss the action or proceeding or direct that a writ of mandamus or an injunction, or both, issue as prayed for in the petition or in such modified or other form as the court may determine will afford appropriate relief.
