Qualified persons inspect track and
take action to allow safe passage of trains. FRA is amending the
CWR Rule to promulgate specific requirments for the qualification
of persons designated to inspect CWR track, or supervise the
installation, adjustment, or maintenance of CWR track. FRA is also
clarifying the procedures associated with the submission of CWR
plans. The information collected will be used by FRA to ensure
persons designated by railroads/track owners as qualified to
inspect CWR track meet the criteria spelled out in this final
rule.
