Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 1500 - MINIMUM CLEARANCES APPLICABLE TO TRACKS, STRUCTURES, FIXTURES AND OTHER APPURTENANCES OF RAILROADS › Subpart A - GENERAL RULES › Section 1500.10 - Scope

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) This Part
				prescribes minimum track centers, and minimum horizontal and vertical
				clearances applicable to tracks, structures, fixtures, and other appurtenances
				of "railroads." The term "railroad' means track and associated structures,
				including bridges, tunnels, switches, spurs, terminals and other facilities,
				and equipment, including engines, freight cars, passenger cars, cabooses, and
				other equipment, used in the transportation of property or passengers by rail
				[625 ILCS
				5/18c-1104(31) ].
b) This Part applies to all new construction
				and to the reconstruction of "railroads" carried on after the date on which
				this Part becomes effective.
c)
				Nothing herein contained prohibits any "railroad" from constructing its tracks,
				bridges, buildings and other structures with clearances greater than required
				by this Part. Where conditions apparently make it impracticable to comply with
				this Part, a formal petition for permission to maintain reduced clearances
				shall be made to the Illinois Commerce Commission ("Commission").
d) Unless otherwise stated all horizontal
				distances are measured at right angles to the vertical plane passing through
				the centerline of the track.
e)
				Railroad-Highway Bridge Clearance refers to the vertical clearance between the
				top of rail of a track and the lowest point of the structural members that
				carry a highway bridge over a railroad track. For new and reconstructed highway
				bridges spanning railroad tracks, clearance requirements outlined in the
				American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association Manual for
				Railway Engineering (2004 Edition) ("AREMA Manual") shall be followed when
				determining vertical clearance.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 1500 - MINIMUM CLEARANCES APPLICABLE TO TRACKS, STRUCTURES, FIXTURES AND OTHER APPURTENANCES OF RAILROADS › Subpart A - GENERAL RULES › Section 1500.15 - Incorporations by Reference

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 1500 - MINIMUM CLEARANCES APPLICABLE TO TRACKS, STRUCTURES, FIXTURES AND OTHER APPURTENANCES OF RAILROADS › Subpart A - GENERAL RULES › Section 1500.20 - General Requirements

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Compensation for Curvature. The horizontal clearances prescribed in this
				Section are for tangent tracks. For curved tracks, clearance requirements
				outlined in the AREMA Manual shall be maintained.
b) Compensation for Superelevation. The
				vertical and horizontal clearances herein prescribed are for tracks where the
				tops of the rails are at the same level. Where one rail is elevated above the
				other, compensation shall be made so that clearance requirements outlined in
				the AREMA Manual shall be maintained, the vertical clearances being taken from
				the top of the higher rail and the horizontal clearances being measured from
				the closest point in a line passing through the center line of the track and
				perpendicular to the face of the ties in the track.
c) Warning Signs Required. At all overhead
				freight loading platforms, awnings, canopies, coal chutes, ore tipples,
				entrances to warehouses, shop buildings and similar structures, where the
				vertical clearance is less than 211/2 feet, and at all high freight-loading
				platforms where the horizontal clearance is less than 8 feet, warning signs
				shall be erected as a caution to employees.
d) Location and Lettering of Warning Signs.
				Warning signs for use at places having reduced clearances shall be of suitable
				size and placed in conspicuous positions with black letters upon a white
				background. At the top of the sign shall be placed the word "WARNING" with the
				letters not less than 3 inches in height. All other letters upon the sign shall
				be not less than 11/2 inches in height. Unless other words may more
				appropriately convey proper warning, remaining words on sign shall be "No
				clearance for a person on the side (or top) of car." The foregoing words will
				require a sign 15 inches by 20 inches in size.
e) Printed Rules. In all cases where
				clearances require warning signs as provided in subsection (c), a printed rule
				shall be issued by the railroad company prohibiting its employees from
				occupying the tops or sides (as the case may require) of cars while in
				motion.

				adjacent to such pair of tracks its track center must be not less than 131/2
				feet from the centerline of the nearest track.
c) Track System with High Platform Adjacent
				Thereto. Any system of three or more tracks at freight houses, warehouses,
				wharves, or similar structures, used exclusively for handling freight to or
				from high platforms located on one or both sides thereof may have its track
				centers less than 131/2 feet, provided that at least two tracks in any such
				system shall have centers not less than this distance. Where such system is
				composed of two tracks only, their centerlines shall not be less than 131/2
				feet.

				Commission, permission will not be necessary for any railroad to construct any
				tracks or other appurtenances or to operate on such tracks provided the track
				centers and clearances alongside such tracks or other appurtenances conform to
				this Part.
b) When Permission for
				Construction is Necessary. Application shall be made to this Commission for
				permission to construct and maintain such tracks or other appurtenances, or to
				operate on such tracks, where track centers and clearances will not or do not
				conform to this Part. The application for such permission shall be submitted by
				the railroad company involved, or jointly by the railroad company and the owner
				of the property when the track or appurtenances are upon private property. Each
				application must be accompanied by a plan showing the location of the proposed
				track or other appurtenance and the clearances that it is desired to
				maintain.
c) The Commission shall
				consider the following in determining whether a variation shall be permitted:
1) The impact, if any, on the safety of
				railroad employees;
2) The expense
				to the carrier or others, if the variation is not granted; and
3) Experience with similar variations at
				other locations. Similar variations would be situations involving like reduced
				clearances and like railroad operations. Lack of any problems would indicate
				acceptable experience.
