25. Track Type Used by Rail Equipment Involved
Select the code that identifies the type of track on which the accident occurred,
and enter it in the box provided. Branch lines should be reported as main line,
code “1.”
26. Track Number or Name
Enter the number or name used to identify the track on which the accident
occurred. If it is main track of a single-track line, enter “single main track.”
27. FRA Track Class
Enter the class of track on which the reported consist was located at the time of
the accident. Classes of track are defined in the Federal Track Safety Standards
FRA Guide for Preparing Accident/Incident Reports
151
F 6180.57
(49 CFR Part 213). See 49 CFR § 213.4 and § 213.9. Excepted track should be
entered as Class X.

28. Number of Locomotive Units
Enter the total number of locomotive units in the consist involved in the accident;
if none, enter “0.”
29. Number of Cars
Enter the total number of cars in the equipment consist involved in the accident;
if none, enter “0.” Be sure to include any caboose(s) in the consist in this count.
See special instruction for Item 18 on counting articulated cars.
30. Consist Speed
List the speed (mph) at which the consist was traveling when the impact occurred.
Enter “E” in the code box to indicate if this is estimated; or enter “R” for a
recorded speed. If the consist was not moving, enter “0.”
31. Timetable Direction
If the consist was either moving or temporarily stopped, enter the code that
describes the timetable or schedule direction in the box provided. If this
equipment consist was a car or a cut of cars standing on the track, enter “N/A.”
32. Type of Crossing Warning
Identify the warning devices by entering the appropriate code(s) in the box(es).
For codes “2” and “3,” “FLS” means “flashing light signal.” Enter a code of “5”
(“Highway Traffic Signals”) whenever such a signal is present at the crossing site
and is used for controlling highway traffic over the crossing.

33. Signaled Crossing Warning
Only if Codes 1-6 in Item 32 (Type of Crossing Warning) are selected, enter in
this item the status of the warning devices at the crossing at the time of impact,
using the following:
1. Provided minimum 20-second warning.
2. Alleged warning time greater than 60 seconds.
3. Alleged warning time less than 20 seconds.
4. Alleged no warning.
5. Confirmed* warning time greater than 60 seconds.
6. Confirmed* warning time less than 20 seconds.
7. Confirmed* no warning.
* Confirmed means that there is a physical record (e.g., event records, video tape
or other tangible documentation). Confirmed warning time of more than 60
seconds is classified as a false activation.
If status code 5, 6, or 7 was entered, you must append a code from the following:
A. Insulated rail vehicle.
B. Storm/lightning damage.
C. Vandalism.
D. No power/batteries dead.
E. Devices down for repair.
F. Devices out of service.
G. Warning time greater than 60 seconds attributed to accidentinvolved train stopping short of the crossing, but within track
circuit limits, while warning devices remain continuously active
with no other in-motion train present.
H. Warning time greater than 60 seconds attributed to track circuit
failure (e.g., insulated rail joint or rail bonding failure, track or
ballast fouled).
J. Warning time greater than 60 seconds attributed to other
train/equipment within track circuit limits.
