			 established in this rule.
(B) On
			 any new railroad track construction or reconstruction of yards in Ohio, the
			 lateral clearance between centers of adjacent and parallel railroad tracks
			 covering main lines, passing tracks, and yard tracks over which switching is
			 performed, shall not be less than fourteen feet on tangent tracks and on curved
			 tracks, provided that in specific cases if this commission, after
			 investigation, finds that it would be unreasonable to require fourteen-foot
			 clearance between track centers, it may by order prescribe lesser
			 clearances.
(C) Tracks constructed
			 on, under, or adjacent to permanent railroad and highway structures, which
			 structures were constructed previous to February 24, 1958 and were designed to
			 provide less than fourteen-foot clearances for future tracks, are exempt from
			 the provisions of this rule.
(D)
			 Ladder tracks shall be spaced not less than fifteen feet center to center from
			 any parallel track and when such parallel track is another ladder track that it
			 be spaced not less than eighteen feet center to center, body tracks shall be
			 spaced not less than fourteen feet center to center and when paralleled to main
			 track or important running track the first body track shall be spaced not less
			 than fifteen feet center to center from such track; provided, however, that the
			 commission upon application, when accompanied by a full statement of the
			 conditions existing and the reasons upon which such permit is predicated, may
			 permit any railroad to construct or reconstruct under such conditions, if any,
			 as the commission may prescribe, any track or tracks at lesser clearance than
			 herein required, when in the judgment of this commission, compliance with the
			 clearance prescribed herein is unreasonable or unnecessary, and when lesser
			 clearance would not create a condition unduly hazardous to the employees of
			 such railroad.
(E) This rule
			 applies to any railroad defined in section
			 4907.02 of the Revised Code, in
			 the construction of new yards or in the reconstruction of existing yards,
			 except any extensions or realignments of existing tracks, after February 24,
			 1958, and railroads shall construct said tracks in compliance with the minimum
			 track clearance standards herein prescribed after February 24, 1958, except any
			 extensions or realignments of existing tracks or unless otherwise ordered by
			 the commission.
