Hi guys,
I'm a transportation engineer in training working in Canada at the moment. We are currently using RTD 10 standards when evaluating the safety parameters of any road/rail crossing. I was wondering if anybody knew what is used in the States?

Thanks!

airmintie,

You may want to search the Code of Federal Regulations.

Hope this helps.

Hi Trainguy,
I did have a look through there and I did find some good references. Thanks!

See my previous thread 671-262060 reply "You probably need to get hold of the AREMA manual - most railway technical info. is contained there".
