Utility Accommodation for Rail Facilities in Texas State ROWs

The State of Texas recently published new regulations governing the accommodation, location, method of installation, adjustments, removal, relocation, and maintenance of utility facilities within state railroad right of way. These new regulations were developed in the interest of safety, protection, utilization, and future development of state railroad right of way with due consideration given to public service afforded by adequate and economical utility installations. These regulations are required because of the Texas DOT’s newly enhanced statutory authority to own and operate rail facilities. They include maintenance requirements for existing crossings. The new regulations can be found in:

TEXAS STATE REGULATIONS
TITLE 43 – TRANSPORTATION
PART 01 – DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
21 – RIGHT OF WAY
Subchapter 21O – Utility Accommodation for Rail Facilities
