Railroad track safety regulations?
952974
Generally, "in the United States, railroad rights-of-way are considered private property by the respective railroad owners and by applicable state laws. Most U.S. railroads employ their own police forces who can arrest and prosecute trespassers found on their rights-of-way."\n\nThat being said, if you are watching from a safe distance, you are probably not within the right of way.

Well, the standard track gauge is 4' 8 1/2", so with ballast I would guess somewhere close to ten feet give or take.  However, it also depends on how wide the entire right-of-way is as well.

Bad judgement by track stewards.

That is a pretty tall order.  You will find very little, outside of governmental regulations.\n\nIf this is for the US area, OSHA and the Coast Guard have regulations.  Also American Bureau of Ships\n\nOthers are Safety to life at Sea (SOLAS)  and Intergovernmental Maritime Consultive Organization.\n\nYou can find good information on hydrocarbon processing in documents from Americal Petroleum Institute, Oil Insurance Association, and regulations of freign governments.\n\nYou may find a document called "Mobile Offshore Drilling Units."  It was written to be considered by various governments as a standard regulation\n\nA good book on hydrocarbon processes is "Fire Protection Manual", by Vervalin\n\nIf you have access to a good library, a talk with a librarian would be a good place to start.

Any distraction in a manufacturing plant is a safety issue. Remember, one person's radio station is another person's pain in the butt.

...OSHA website or your state occupation safety agency...\n\nLock out, Tag out is pretty much the same from industry to industry...stopping/neutralizing all energy sources.

Each province has its own regulations, but a lot of them are based on american standards for Ashpahlts and rigid pavements.  The crust or surface course is actually only one of several layers of asphalt and aggregate the make up the roadway.  The thichness of each of the layers is depedent upon the underlying soil, the conditions that the highway will face and the use of the high way including the amount of traffic but especially truck traffic as they do the most damage to the road surface.  This data is then converted to an ESAL equivalent 80 kN single axle load and the thicknesses of various layers can be looked up in a series of tables.

Check with OSHA about this.

I live in Ky but I don't know. You should call the Fish and Wildlife Department, they could tell you all the ATV laws and regulations.

While I still would side with Amtrak, there is still a lot more to the story than this brief summary listed here.  There is some evidence to suggest that Amtrak was aware of the dangers and failed to comply with industry safety recommendations to prevent this type of incident.\n\nRemember the McDonald's coffee case?  What the media never tells you is the literally hundreds of complaints that McDonald's had received about the coffee temperature.  Coffee should not cause second and third degree burns and yet it did.\n\nIn this case, Amtrak had been warned as far back as 1971 about this type danger apparently didn't follow federal safety recommendations to prevent this type of accident.  A property owner who knows that a dangerous condition exists on their property and who knows that trespassers will come around has a legal duty to protect against injury.
