As of last December, carriers are to discontinue collecting data on crude oil and continuous welded rail and begin collecting Train Length (SSB 1) and Number of Crew in the Cab (SSB2). FRA has corrected an erroneous instruction that still referred to crude oil and has been communicating through their Safety Management Teams and through their contractor to coach railroads on the changes. They are seeing improvement in the reporting but are asking carriers to go back through earlier reports to make any corrections. Carriers have had some questions about the fields such as what types of movements are to be reported and how are RCL handled. FRA noted that the length of a movement should include on-track equipment other than hi-rail vehicles and, presumably, roadway maintenance machines. Light engines or moving cars without a locomotive would be included. Attendees will have an opportunity to participate in Q&A at the end of the presentation.
