clearance criteria for railroads
(OP)
Does anybody know what's the clearance for railroads?. I am planting trees at a distance of approximately 13 feet from the rails but I am not sure whether this is enough space. thanks in advance

I'd imagine that at 13' from the rails you're pretty darn close to, if not inside, the ROW, so just call them up and stumble through their bureaucracy and find out what they require... and remember that trees get bigger and have branches. The FRA may have requirements, but the railroads are all privately owned, so what's okay for CSX may not be okay for someone else.

when I did design of "bells lights & gates" we we required to set them back 15' from the centerline of track.
