RE: REQUEST FOR WAIVR OF THE COMMSSIONS RAILROAD CLEARACE RULE
Dear Mr. Horton:
I would like to request a variance of the railroad clearance rule for the installation of a safety
system for our chip car netting operation. As stated in the attached drawing, the catwalk wil be
7' 7" from the centerline of the track. The rule requires an 8' 6" inch clearance.
Moving the platforms closer to the car will allow our employees to perform responsibilties
safely.
The tracks are owned and located on Crown Pacific property. With the exception of the switch
crew and our employees, no other people wil access the area.
I have discussed this matter with the railroad. They have no objections provided we place proper
warning signs for their crew at the entr end of the spur. I am working with them on this
signage.
Than you for your consideration of this matter. If you need additional information, please feel
free to calL.
ìi~~
