6-4-08 12.3 Safe Parking—Rail

To the extent practicable, safe parking areas should be selected to provide adequate separation from other hazardous materials and to facilitate required security. In the event of adverse operating conditions, the carrier would decide where to locate the affected railcars. Within a DOE facility is the most desirable location, and another Federal facility is a secondary option; the third choice would be a protected “siding,” a safe, secure position along the track controlled by the railroad. Any additional security required from the State, Tribal, or local law enforcement will be coordinated by the shipper and/or the rail carrier. Specific transportation plans may specify additional criteria.
