crossing. However, any crossing closure, change in crossing surface (e.g.,
timber to rubber) or change in the type of warning device (e.g., crossbuck to
flashing lights and gates) must be reported within three months. In addition, FRA
encourages updates as other crossing information changes.
Q 33. Would electronic submission allow a railroad or State to update fields for
which it is not responsible?
The Railroad only has the ability to update the data fields for which it is
responsible. Similarly, the State only has the ability to update the data fields for
which the State is responsible, regardless of the method used to provide the
update. The submitting entity should only submit updated data for processing for
which it is responsible. Exceptions to this policy are, however, permitted when
both entities have provided prior written notification to FRA.
Q 34. When a crossing is being changed from Private to Public, what data must
be provided by the submitting agency?
For a change from a private highway-rail grade crossing to a public highway-rail
grade crossing, railroads must complete the entire Inventory Form (with the
exception of I.20 and III.2.K) with updated information.
For a change from a private pathway grade crossing to a public pathway grade
crossing, railroads must update the Header, Parts I, II, and III.2.K of the
Inventory Form and the Submission Information section.
Q 35. If a private company, port or dock area, or a rail yard has multiple
crossings, is it possible to have more than one Inventory number assigned
to the facility?
A. Although one Inventory Number may be assigned for all of the crossings in
the facility, there are two reasons why a private company may have more
than one Inventory Number:
1. A railroad may assign Inventory Numbers to specific crossings while
assigning one Inventory Number to the remaining crossings.
2. If more than one operating railroad provides service to the private
company from its own track (e.g., one track off of railroad X’s track and
one track off of railroad Y’s track), each operating railroad must assign a
Appendix E-10
unique Inventory number for the private company. If a crossing accident
occurs, the railroad that is involved in the collision must use the Inventory
number that it assigned to the private company.
Q36. How do I report a change in crossing characteristics (such as a change in
the crossing surface or a change in the crossing warning devices) that is
required by 49 CFR 234.411(c) at a public highway-rail grade crossing to
the Crossing Inventory?
Complete all of the data fields in the Header of the Inventory Form, checking the
“Change in Data” box in Item C.
The primary operating railroad must update all data fields in Parts II and III on the
Inventory Form.
Finally, if a hardcopy Inventory Form update will be submitted to the Crossing
Inventory, the primary operating railroad must complete the Submission
Information section of the Inventory Form as well.
