Active Edition from 29.06.1998
"INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION OF RAILWAY CROSSINGS OF THE MINISTRY OF RUSSIA OF RUSSIA" (approved by the Ministry of Railways of the Russian Federation on 29.06.98 N TsP-566)
3. Arrangement and equipment of crossings
3.1. All arrangements for crossings must comply with the requirements of the Rules for the Technical Operation of Railways of the Russian Federation, these Instructions, standard designs, the Rules of the Road of the Russian Federation, GOST 23457-86 "Technical means of organizing traffic. Rules of application", GOST R 50597-93 "Motor roads and streets. Requirements for the operational state permissible under the conditions of ensuring road safety", and when designing newly built and reconstructed public roads and access roads to industrial enterprises- and requirements building codes and rules "Roads", SNiP 2.05.02-85. In accordance with the requirements of GOST 23457-86 "Technical means of organizing traffic. Rules of application", the need to install traffic lights (type 6) at crossings is determined by the relevant regulatory and technical documentation approved by the Ministry of Railways of Russia. In special cases, it is allowed, in agreement with the Ministry of Railways of Russia, to use transport traffic lights of the type 1.1.1 - 1.1.3, 1.1.16, 1.1.17 at crossings.
3.2. Crossings should be located mainly on straight sections of railways and roads outside the cuts and places where satisfactory visibility conditions are not provided.
Crossings of railways by roads should be carried out mainly at right angles. If this condition cannot be met, the acute angle between the intersecting roads must be at least 60 degrees. Existing crossings, located at a sharper angle, must be rebuilt simultaneously with the reconstruction of roads.
3.3. At existing crossings for at least 10 m from the outermost rail, the road in the longitudinal profile must have a horizontal platform or a large vertical curve, or a slope due to the excess of one rail over the other when the intersection is in a curved section of the track.
The longitudinal slope of the road approaches to the crossing for at least 20 m in front of the site should be no more than 50 thousandths.
During the reconstruction and construction of new motor roads, the approaches must be installed in such a way that for at least 2 m from the outermost rail the motor road in the longitudinal profile has a horizontal platform.
Road approaches to the crossing over a length of at least 50 m should be designed with a longitudinal slope of no more than 30 thousandths.
In difficult conditions (mountainous areas, city streets, etc.), the road profile at the approaches to crossings can be individual, agreed with the State Automobile Inspectorate and road operating organizations or other road owners.
When approaching the crossing of unpaved roads (without a hard coating), a hard coating must be applied on both sides for at least 10 m from the head of the outermost rail.
3.4. Newly created protective forest plantations must provide drivers of vehicles at a distance of 50 m or less from the crossing the visibility of a train approaching it at a distance of at least 500 m.
3.5. The carriageway of the road at the approaches to the crossing and within its boundaries, as well as the flooring, signal posts, railings and fences of the barrier or parapet type must comply with the standard crossing design.
The width of the carriageway of the crossing must be equal to the width of the carriageway of the highway, but not less than 6 m, and the width of the flooring in the places of cattle driving - not less than 4 m.
The flooring of the crossing must comply with the design approved by the Ministry of Railways of Russia. The path under the flooring can be both on wooden and reinforced concrete sleepers.
On the outer side of the track, the flooring should be flush with the top of the rail heads. It is not allowed to deviate the top of the rail head located within the carriageway relative to the pavement by more than 2 cm.
Inside the track, the flooring should be higher than the rail heads within 1 - 3 cm. With a rubber-cord or polymer flooring material, lowering the inter-rail flooring below the level of the rail heads is not allowed.
At operated crossings, before the reorganization in a planned manner, the elevation of the flooring inside the track is allowed within 3-4 cm.
Depending on the design of the deck according to the standard design, counter rails can be laid within the deck to ensure unimpeded passage of rolling stock wheelsets. Their ends, at a length of 50 cm, are bent inside the track by 25 cm. The width of the gutter is set within 75 - 110 mm, and the depth is at least 45 mm.
At crossings with attendants inside the gauge of each track (on single-track sections - on both sides), at a distance of 0.75 - 1.0 m from the flooring, devices in the form of metal tubes are fixed for installing portable train stop signals (red shield, lantern), as well as devices for determining the lower oversize of the rolling stock (Fig. 1)<*>.
Barrier posts, masts of traffic lights of crossing signaling, fences, railings and guide posts (Fig. 2) should be located at a distance of at least 0.75 m from the edge of the carriageway. Guide posts are installed on both sides of the crossing at a distance of 2.5 to 16 m from the outermost rails every 1.5 m.
To drive livestock at crossings, railings or barrier-type fences made of reinforced concrete, wood or metal 1.2 m high are installed, and barrier nets are suspended from spare barriers.
Crossing barriers are painted in accordance with the requirements of GOST 23457-86 "Technical means of organizing traffic. Rules of application."
At crossings from the side of the highway, road signs are installed (color tab, Fig. 1).
Before such crossings until they are reorganized, in order to improve traffic safety, the head of the railway may, in individual cases, establish a permanent restriction on the speed of trains.
3.8. At the approaches to the place for driving cattle, at a distance of 20 m from the extreme rails, signs are installed with inscriptions in Russian and local languages: "Beware of the train! Place for driving cattle", and at a distance of 3-4 m from the extreme rail across the tracks for driving cattle - posts to prevent vehicles from entering the road.
3.9. On electrified lines on both sides of the crossing, road prohibition signs 3.13 "Height restriction" with the number on the sign "4.5 m" (color tab, Fig. 1) are installed at a distance of at least 5 m from the barrier, and in their absence - at least 14 m from the outermost rail.
3.10. At approaches to crossings from the side of highways, in front of barriers, and where there are none, in front of a road warning sign 1.3.1 or 1.3.2, in accordance with the Rules of the Road, road warning signs 1.1 "Railway crossing with a barrier" or 1.2 "Railway crossing without barrier" at a distance of 150 - 300 m, and in settlements - at a distance of 50 - 100 m from the outermost rail and other road signs (color insert, Fig. 2, 3).
Signs 1.1 and 1.2 must be duplicated on roads with three or more lanes for traffic in both directions, as well as on roads with one or two lanes for traffic in both directions, if the visibility distance of the crossing outside built-up areas is less than 300 m, and in built-up areas - less than 100 m.
Repair and maintenance of motor roads - entrances to public and non-public crossings to the ends of the sleepers of the near rails are carried out at the expense of the owners of these roads.
At the same time, work within 10 m from the ends of the sleepers of the near rails is carried out in agreement with the distance of the track in the presence of an employee authorized by the management of the track distance.
3.11. Crossings with attendants are equipped with barriers.
Bars of automatic and semi-automatic barriers, as well as electric barriers must be equipped with red reflective devices and have a standard length of 4, 6 and 8 m.
Automatic, semi-automatic barriers and electric barriers must cover at least half of the carriageway of the highway on the right side in the direction of vehicles. The left side of the road with a width of at least 3 m is not blocked. If necessary, installation of the specified barriers of non-standard length is allowed.
At crossings with heavy traffic of vehicles, as well as high-speed traffic of passenger trains, special devices for blocking railway crossings (UZP) from unauthorized entry to such crossings of vehicles can be used. The order of equipment and operation of the UZP is established by the Ministry of Railways of Russia.
Mechanized barriers, as a rule, must block the entire carriageway and have signal lights used at night, as well as during the day with poor visibility (fog, snowstorm and other adverse conditions). Signal lights installed on the barrier bars of mechanized barriers must be directed towards the highway:
when the barriers are closed - red signals (lights);
at the open position of barriers - transparent - white signals (lights).
In the direction of the railway track - control transparent - white signals (lights) both in the open and in the closed position of the barriers.
Barriers are installed on the right side on the side of the road on both sides of the crossing, so that their bars in the closed position are located at a height of 1 - 1.25 m from the surface of the carriageway. At the same time, mechanized barriers are located at a distance of at least 8.5 and not more than 14 m from the outermost rail; automatic, semi-automatic barriers and electric barriers - at a distance of at least 6, 8, 10 m from the outer rail, depending on the length of the barrier bar (4, 6, 8<*>m).
<*>If such a length of the beam is provided for by the project.
To protect the crossing during the repair of the track, structures and devices, spare horizontally - rotary barriers of manual action should be used, installed at a distance of at least 1 m from the main barriers in the direction of the highway and blocking the carriageway of the road no less than the main ones. These barriers must have devices for fixing them in the open and closed positions and hanging a signal light.
Barriers of barriers (main and spare) are painted with alternating stripes of red and white color, tilted (when viewed from the side of the road) to the right horizontally at an angle of 45 - 50 degrees. Strip width - 500 - 600 mm. The end of the barrier bar must have a red stripe 250 - 300 mm wide. The bars of the barriers are equipped with red reflective devices.
3.12. The normal position of automatic and semi-automatic barriers is open, and that of electric barriers and mechanized barriers is closed. In some cases, at crossings with heavy traffic of vehicles, as well as at crossings transferred to the service of employees of other services, the normal position of electric barriers and mechanized barriers can be set open.
In the normally closed position of the barriers, they open only to allow vehicles to pass in the absence of an approaching train.
3.13. To separate traffic flows in opposite directions (center line) on roads with two or three lanes in both directions, in accordance with GOST 13508-74 and GOST 23457-86, horizontal markings 1.1 are applied before crossings from the near rail to markings 1.12 (stop - line) and at a distance of 100 m from the marking 1.12.
Marking 1.12 is applied at a distance of at least 5 m from the barrier or traffic light, and in their absence - at a distance of at least 10 m from the near rail.
To mark the boundaries of traffic lanes, if there are two or more lanes for one direction of traffic, before crossings, at least 20 (40) m from marking 1.12, marking 1.3 is applied.
3.14. At crossings with attendants, they should be built according to standard projects premises for duty officers - buildings of crossing posts with an exit along the railway track towards the highway. Exits towards the railway track in the buildings of crossing posts must be protected by railings.
3.15. All crossings of I and II categories, as well as III and IV categories, in the presence of longitudinal power supply lines or other permanent sources of power supply, must have electric lighting.
In accordance with regulations artificial lighting objects of railway transport, RD 3215-91, the illumination within the crossing must be at least: I category - 5 lux; Category II - 3 lux; Category III - 2 lux; IV category - 1 lux.
The level of illumination should be brought up to 5 lux according to the plans of the railways, first of all, crossings of the II category, then III and IV categories.
In necessary cases, to inspect passing trains, crossings are equipped with floodlights.
At crossings located on express roads and main streets of citywide significance, lamps must be installed in accordance with SNiP 2.05.02-85 "Motorways".
The power supply of crossing signaling devices must comply with current regulations. At the same time, for automation devices with track circuits direct current a battery reserve with a duration of continuous operation of at least 8 hours should be provided, provided that the power supply has not been disconnected in the previous 36 hours.
3.16. Crossings with attendants must have radio communication with the drivers of train locomotives, direct telephone communication with the nearest station or post, and in sections with dispatch centralization - with a train dispatcher. The telephone call is supplemented by an external call (howler).
3.17. Level crossings are equipped with signaling devices in accordance with the Basic requirements for the equipment of level crossings with level crossing signaling devices (Appendix 1).
First of all, signaling devices should be equipped with crossings with bus traffic, as well as those located on the main tracks with heavy traffic of trains and vehicles, high speeds of trains, poor visibility conditions.
3.18. On roads before crossings, equipped with crossing signaling, traffic lights are installed with two horizontally located and alternately flashing red signals (lights) with the following meanings (color tab, Fig. 5a, b):
the red signal (fire) is on - the movement of vehicles is prohibited;
the red signal (fire) is off - the movement of vehicles is allowed only after the driver is convinced that there is no train approaching the crossing.
Traffic lights are installed on the right side in the direction of movement of vehicles. In some cases (visibility conditions, traffic intensity) signals (lights) of traffic lights can be repeated on the opposite side of the road.
At individual crossings without an attendant, according to the conditions approved by the Ministry of Railways of Russia, traffic signaling with traffic lights with two alternately flashing red signals (lights) and one white-moon flashing signal (light) can be used, signaling (color tab, Fig. 5b):
the red signal (fire) is on, the white-lunar signal (fire) is off - the movement of vehicles is prohibited;
white - the moon signal (fire) is on, the red signal (fire) is off - the movement of vehicles is allowed;
red and white - moon signals (lights) are off - the crossing signaling is disabled or defective.
Before crossing, the driver must make sure that there is no approaching train and give way if the train (locomotive, trolley) is approaching the crossing.
The specific procedure for the actions of vehicle drivers when driving through a railway crossing is established by the Rules of the Road of the Russian Federation.
In the event of a signaling disconnection or its malfunction, the duty officer of the nearest station or the train dispatcher in sections with dispatcher centralization is automatically notified of the malfunction of the crossing signaling.
The station duty officer or train dispatcher, having received a notification, must make an entry about the malfunction of the automation at the crossing in the journal of the DU-46 form, inform the duty officers of neighboring stations and the electrician of the signaling system about this.
The electrician must take measures to eliminate the malfunction.
The station duty officer or the train dispatcher via radio communication immediately transmits a message to the drivers of trains traveling without stopping at separate points in the direction of the crossing about a malfunction of the automation devices at the crossing and the need to proceed with special vigilance and at a speed of no more than 20 km / h.
For trains that stop at stations, written warnings are issued about a malfunction of the crossing signal in the manner set forth in the Instructions for the movement of trains and shunting work on the railways of the Russian Federation.
Automatic traffic signaling must be adjusted in such a way that the start of signaling a stop in the direction of the motor road is made in the time necessary for the early release of the crossing by the vehicle. At the same time, at the moment the train enters the approach section, at traffic lights towards the highway, flashing red signals (lights) are switched on, and acoustic signals (bells or bells) are also given to additional information participants in the movement on the prohibition of movement through the crossing.
The red signals (lights) are turned off after the train has cleared the crossing.
When trains move in an unspecified direction on single-track sections equipped with automatic blocking, and on the wrong track on double- and multi-track sections, the red flashing signals (lights) are turned off after the train vacates the approach section located behind the crossing along the train.
Red flashing signals (lights) at traffic lights turn on from the moment the train enters the approach section and after a time determined by calculation, the barrier bars smoothly lower to a horizontal position. Automatic barriers must remain closed, and the red signals (lights) of traffic lights must be on (burn) until the train is completely free of the crossing.
When the crossing is completely cleared by the train, the barrier bars of the automatic barriers rise to a vertical position, after which the red signals (lights) at the traffic lights turn off.
Opening of semi-automatic barriers and turning off red flashing signals (lights) at traffic lights and acoustic signals is carried out by the duty officer at the crossing by pressing the "Open" button.
When signaling at traffic lights at crossings with a person on duty at the access and other tracks where the rail circuits of the approach sections cannot be equipped, the red flashing signals (lights) of the traffic lights turn on when the button on the crossing signaling panel is pressed. After that, at the shunting traffic light, the red light goes out and the moon-white light turns on.
When signaling at traffic lights at crossings without an attendant on the access roads in cities, special traffic lights should be installed as barriers, signaling with red and moonlight-white fire. In these cases, the inclusion of a permitting lunar-white light for a train (shunting train) to proceed through the crossing is possible only after turning on the red signals (lights) at the crossing traffic lights. After turning on the red lights at the shunting traffic lights, the red signals (lights) at the crossing traffic lights must be turned off.
The specified dependence is carried out automatically with the help of a shortened track circuit.
3.19. Traffic safety at crossings when returning from a haul and various movements of economic, working, recovery and other trains must be ensured in accordance with clauses 4.13 and 6.3 of these Instructions.
At crossings, the approach sections of which include station tracks, when the train departs at a prohibitory indication of traffic lights, the automatic traffic signaling should be switched on by the station attendant by pressing the "Closing the crossing" button. At the same time, the train driver, when approaching the crossing, must proceed with special vigilance at a speed of no more than 20 km / h and be ready to stop if an obstacle to movement is encountered. The list of stations with such crossings is approved by the head of the railway and announced by order by the railway.
At crossings located within or near stations and equipped with crossing signaling, station attendants should not allow a long time between the opening of exit signals and the departure of trains so as not to cause delays for vehicles at the crossing. The station attendant must give a notice of the crossing, turn on the alarm, notify the crossing attendant of the departure of the train by phone or in another way determined by the local instruction.
In the event of malfunctions of automation devices, regulation of train traffic, departure of trains on the right and wrong track, the procedure for notifying the duty officer on the crossing about this, as well as information from the train driver about necessary conditions crossing procedures are established by local instructions.
3.20. The "Maintenance" button is intended to delay, if necessary, the duty officer on the crossing of the closing of the barriers (electric barriers) before passing under the bar of a large-sized vehicle and eliminating the breakage of the bar. At the same time, the delay time of the barrier by the duty officers at the crossing should not exceed 5 - 10 s.
At crossings equipped with semi-automatic barriers, the "Maintain" button is also used to open the barrier:
the duty officer at the crossing, pressing this button after the train passes through the crossing and frees the approach section, turns on the barrier to move it to the open position.
3.21. At crossings with a guard on duty, a barrage alarm is set up. Entrance, exit, warning, pre-entrance, shunting, through and route traffic lights located at a distance of no more than 800 m and at least 15 m from the crossing, provided that the crossing is visible from the place of their installation, can be used as barrier traffic lights. If it is impossible to use the listed traffic lights, special barrier traffic lights are installed before the crossing at a distance of at least 15 m.
Barrage traffic lights are installed on single-track sections on both sides of the crossing. On double-track sections - on the right track, and on the wrong track - in the following cases:
with two-way train traffic on each track;
in suburban areas with a traffic intensity of more than 100 pairs of trains / day.
At crossings located within the boundaries of stations and near them, in the areas of approach to which there are station tracks, where when the train departs from the station with a prohibitory indication of the exit traffic light, the required notification time for closing the crossing when the train starts moving from a place is not provided, from the side of the station can be installed normally lit traffic lights. In this case, when the train moves to the prohibitory indication of the traffic light and enters the rail circuit adjacent to the crossing, red flashing signals (lights) are switched on at the crossing traffic lights, and then, after a delay of time required for the vehicles to clear the crossing, the red light of the barrier traffic light is turned off. .
The list of such crossings is established by the head of the railway.
The installation of barrier traffic lights when trains move along the wrong track is allowed on the left side of the track.
At crossings located on hauls of double-track sections and equipped with barrier signaling for movement only along the correct track, the head of the railway provides for a procedure in which the prohibition indication of barrier traffic lights for movement along the correct track is a stop signal also for trains following the wrong track.
If the required visibility of the barrier traffic light is not provided, then in sections not equipped with automatic blocking, a warning traffic light is installed in front of such a traffic light, which is identical in shape to the barrier and gives a yellow light signal when the main traffic light is red and not burning when the main traffic light is extinguished.
All crossings with an attendant located on a section with automatic blocking, regardless of the presence of barrier traffic lights, must be equipped with devices for turning off automatic locomotive signaling codes and switching the automatic blocking traffic lights closest to the crossing to a prohibitory indication if obstacles for train traffic occur at the crossing.
3.22. Control boards for crossing signaling are installed outside the post of duty officer at the crossing in a place of good visibility of the railway track and the highway at the approaches to the crossing. On the control panels, depending on the type of crossing signaling, there are buttons and control lamps. Their purpose and procedure for use are determined project documentation and must be contained in the local operating instructions for the level crossing.
With two-story posts on outer wall on the first floor or on a separate rack, a backup control panel can be installed, on which there is a button to turn on the barrage alarm.
3.23. To give signals in case of a threat to traffic safety or about the need to provide assistance to the duty officer at the crossing, depending on local conditions at the crossings, special means alarms (flashing beacon and siren).
The procedure for equipping crossings and operating such facilities is determined by the Department of Tracks and Structures in agreement with the Main Directorate of the State Automobile Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

ON THE OPERATION OF RAILWAY CROSSINGS ON THE WAYS
INDUSTRIAL VEHICLES
General provisions
1.1. Railway crossing - the intersection at the same level of a highway with railway tracks, equipped with devices that provide safe conditions for the passage of rolling stock of railway transport and vehicles.
Crossings are objects of increased danger, requiring strict compliance with the established rules from road users and workers of industrial railway transport.
Persons using crossings are obliged to comply with the main condition for ensuring safety when moving along the crossing: rail transport has an advantage in movement over all other modes of transport.
1.2. This Instruction applies to operated and newly designed non-public crossings constructed at the intersections of industrial railway transport with internal roads.
1.3. Crossings at the intersections of industrial railway transport with public roads, as well as crossings located at the intersection of railways of the Ministry of Railways of Russia with internal roads, are classified as public crossings and are classified, equipped, operated in accordance with the current Instructions for the operation of railway crossings of the Ministry of Railways Russia (approved by the Ministry of Railways of Russia dated 29.06.98 N TsP-566).
1.4. Crossings at the intersections of industrial railway transport with motor roads of organizations, regardless of departmental subordination and forms of ownership, are classified as non-public crossings.
1.5. The opening of new and closing of existing railway crossings is carried out by order of the head of the organization (hereinafter referred to as the organization) in accordance with the requirements of this Instruction and in accordance with the developed projects of crossings.
1.6. For each crossing with an employee on duty, an instruction for its maintenance should be drawn up, taking into account the local operating conditions of this crossing.
The following services are involved in the preparation of the instruction: tracks, signaling, centralization and blocking (SCB) and communications, a contact network, as well as the head of the station when the crossing is located within the station or when the crossing is serviced by employees of the organization’s operation (traffic transportation) service.
The instruction is approved by the head of the organization and is reviewed when changing the working conditions of the crossing or making changes to the crossing signaling, but at least once every 5 years.
1.7. Twice a year (in spring and autumn) commission inspections of crossings are carried out by a commission, the composition of which is established by the head of the organization.
The commission includes the head of the railway transport department of the organization (head of the organization of industrial railway transport), heads of departments (services) of the track, signaling and communications, contact network (power supply), the traffic safety auditor (the person acting in his capacity), a representative of the road maintenance organization services.
Based on the results of the inspection, an act is drawn up, in accordance with which measures are developed to bring the structures and devices at the crossing in line with the regulatory documentation and this Instruction.
If necessary (natural disasters, flood waters, heavy rains, etc.), other checks of the condition of crossings and approaches to them can be carried out during the year.
Commission inspections of crossings in accordance with clauses 1.3, 1.4 of this instruction (public crossings) are carried out with the participation of representatives of the junction railway and the State Inspectorate for Road Safety (STSI).
2.1. Crossings located on the territory of organizations, depending on the intensity of rail and road transport, are divided into four categories: I, II, III, IV (Table 1).

at stages and stations where organized rail and road transportation of fire-liquid metals and slags is carried out, at the intersection with highways with a traffic intensity of up to 100 vehicles per day.
2.2. Checking the intensity of movement of railway and road transport, the working conditions of crossings and reviewing their categorization should be carried out at least once every 5 years by a commission whose composition is established by the head of the organization.
An extraordinary check of the categorization of the move is carried out when the traffic intensity of road or rail transport changes due to the commissioning of new or reconstructed production facilities, changes in freight flows in the organization due to changes in the technology of the main production, etc.
2.3. At newly built or reconstructed production facilities, it is not allowed to open crossings of categories I, II and III, which provide for organized rail or road transportation of fire-liquid metals and slags.
2.4. Crossings are divided into regulated and unregulated.
Regulated crossings include crossings equipped with crossing signaling devices that notify vehicle drivers of the approach to the crossing of a train (rolling stock), or serviced by duty workers (crossing attendants), as well as other employees of railway transport who are assigned to perform the duties of a crossing duty officer.
These employees must undergo training and pass a knowledge test in the amount established for the position of a moving attendant.
At separate controlled crossings, it is allowed to serve two or more closely located crossings by one duty officer, provided that they are well visible and equipped with barriers controlled from one place.
Category I and II level crossings should be regulated.
The need to regulate the movement of vehicles at crossings of other categories is established by the head of the organization.
Unregulated crossings are called crossings that are not equipped with crossing signaling devices and are not serviced by crossing attendants or other employees of railway transport who are entrusted with the performance of their duties in the prescribed manner.
The possibility of safe passage through such crossings is determined by the driver of the vehicle in accordance with the Rules of the Road of the Russian Federation.
Unregulated crossings include category III and IV crossings.
2.5. In addition to the crossing signaling, the service of category I crossings by the duty officer is organized.
At crossings with satisfactory visibility conditions, it is allowed, with the permission of the head of the organization, to maintain a crossing signaling without a duty officer for the crossing.
In accordance with GOST R 50597-93 "Roads and streets. Requirements for the operational state permissible under the terms of road safety", satisfactory visibility conditions are visibility at crossings without a duty officer, when drivers of vehicles located at a distance of no more than 50 m from the near rail, the visibility of the train approaching from any side must be ensured in accordance with the standards specified in Table. 2.

2.6. In order to ensure traffic safety at crossings of category I located at stages and stations where organized (regular) rail or road transportation of people or dangerous goods is carried out, the following requirements must be met:
2.6.1. Crossings located on sections with slopes steeper than 0.0025, creating a danger of rolling stock leaving in the direction of the crossing, must be protected by safety devices - dropping shoes, dropping wits or arrows.
The control of safety devices should be carried out by the duty officer at the crossing, while the indications of the traffic lights of the crossing signaling in the direction of the vehicles should be in mutual hostile dependence with the position safety devices, at which the movement of vehicles on the crossing is possible only when the safety devices are in the reset position.
2.6.2. Crossings located in sections with approaches with long descents, as well as at stations limiting such hauls, in the necks of which these crossings are located, are fenced with catching dead ends according to special projects.
The control of the crossing signaling and the turnout of the catching dead end is carried out by the person on duty at the crossing, while ensuring mutually opposite dependence of the readings of the crossing traffic lights and the position of the arrow of the catching dead end.
In cases where, due to local conditions, it is not possible to possible styling safety devices and safety dead ends, an organization together with a specialized design organization organizational and technical measures are developed to ensure the safety of the movement of rolling stock and vehicles on the crossing, or a decision is made to close the crossing, and an appropriate act is drawn up.
2.6.3. The organization must develop long-term plans that provide for the re-equipment of existing category I crossings with organized (regular) rail or road transportation of people or dangerous goods in accordance with the requirements of clauses 2.6.1, 2.6.2.
2.6.4. The procedure for the operation and maintenance of safety devices and catching dead ends is established by the operating instructions for the crossing.
2.7. The list of crossings serviced by an employee on duty, and the duration of their protection during the day, is established by the head of the organization.
In the event of a break in the maintenance of the crossing by a duty worker, the barriers are set to a position prohibiting the movement of vehicles, and the spare barriers that completely block the carriageway of the highway are set to a barrage position and locked.
Drivers of vehicles should be notified about the mode of operation of such crossings by the heads of the relevant services of the organization.
2.8. Crossings located on low-traffic areas and station tracks and equipped with horizontal-turning barriers must be equipped with traffic signaling, controlled by the drafting or locomotive crew.
Prior to the equipment of crossings with signaling, horizontal-turning barriers are preserved and such crossings are not serviced by a duty worker.
The procedure for closing and opening horizontal-turning barriers or turning on and off the traffic signal is established by an instruction approved by the head of the organization.
2.9. Crossings located near the premises of on-duty turnout posts, those on duty at the station (post) can be serviced by employees associated with the movement of trains and shunting work.
The list of such transfers and the procedure for the work of the employees serving them is established by the head of the organization.
It is allowed to serve two or more closely located regulated crossings by one duty officer on the crossing, provided that there is good visibility and equipped with barriers controlled from one remote control.
2.10. The procedure for transferring crossings to operation without an attendant is established by the head of the organization.
2.11. The following measures must be taken by the on-duty worker before terminating the service of the crossing:
2.11.1. – work was carried out to equip the crossing with a control device automatic alarm(if any) at the station (post) duty officer;
2.11.2. – the compliance of the condition and equipment of the crossing with this Instruction was checked by a commission chaired by the head of the organization to check the readiness of its operation without a duty officer for the crossing;
2.11.3. – dismantled automatic, semi-automatic barriers, electric barriers and other devices related to the maintenance of the crossing by the duty worker;
2.11.4. — replaced the corresponding road signs;
2.11.5. – instructions were given to locomotive crews and special rolling stock crews on special vigilance when approaching the indicated crossings;
2.11.6. - are displayed on the approaches to the crossing on the right side on the side of the highway at least 15 days before the removal of the crossing attendant, clearly visible announcements "Moving from (date) is transferred to work without a crossing attendant."
2.12. At closed crossings (permanently or temporarily), the flooring is dismantled, the entrances to the crossings from the side of roads at a distance of at least 10 m from the extreme rails along the entire width are blocked by barriers, and, if necessary, by ditches at a distance of 2 m from the barrier towards the railway tracks.
Warning signs at entrances and approaches to crossings are removed and information and indication signs indicating the direction of the detour are installed.
At closed crossings, all equipment is dismantled. In case of temporary cessation of operation of crossings for the period of their closure, automatic devices are switched off, and the bars of spare barriers are set to a position closed for the movement of vehicles and locked.
At the entrances to the closed crossings, the track service builds platforms for turning vehicles.
The procedure for dismantling structures, devices and equipment of closed crossings, their safety or reuse is established by the head of the organization.
3. Arrangement and equipment of crossings
3.1. The construction and equipment of crossings must be carried out taking into account the requirements of the Rules for the technical operation of industrial railway transport, approved by the order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation dated 29.03.2001 N AN-22-r, this Instruction, the Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation, approved by the Decree of the Council of Ministers - the Government of the Russian Federation dated 10/23/1993 N 1090, standard projects of crossings.
When designing and constructing new crossings, it is necessary to take into account their category and the requirements of SNiP 2.05.07-91 "Industrial transport".
3.2. Crossings organized for the needs of construction are constructed and equipped by construction organizations according to special projects approved by the head of the organization.
3.3. Crossings should be located mainly on straight sections of railways and roads, outside the cuts, turnouts in places where satisfactory visibility conditions are provided.
Crossings of railway tracks by motor roads should be carried out mainly at right angles.
It is allowed to arrange crossings within the transfer curve of the turnout, as well as the intersection of the railway track with a motor road at a smaller angle, but not less than 30 °.
At existing crossings for at least 10 m from the outermost rail, the road in the longitudinal profile must have a horizontal platform or a large vertical curve, or a slope due to the excess of one rail over the other when the intersection is in a curved section of the track.
The longitudinal slope of the road approach to the crossing for at least 20 m in front of the site should be no more than 50 °.
In difficult conditions, the profile of the road on the approaches to crossings can be individual, which requires additional coordination with the road maintenance service of the organization.
At the approaches to the crossing of unpaved automobile roads, a hard surface should be laid on both sides for at least 10 m from the head of the outermost rail.
3.4. The carriageway of the motor road at the approaches to the crossing and within its boundaries, as well as the flooring, guide posts, railings and fences must comply with the standard crossing design.
3.5. On the outer side of the track, the flooring should be at the same level with the top of the rail heads, and inside the track, in order to avoid closing the track circuits and damaging the rails during the passage of tractors, rollers and other machines and mechanisms, it is located 30 - 40 mm higher than the rail heads.
The flooring can be made of reinforced concrete slabs, asphalt concrete, wooden beams, old rails, etc.
Depending on the design of the flooring, according to the standard design, counter rails made of track rails or special rolled stock are laid within the flooring to ensure unhindered passage of wheel sets of rolling stock.
The ends of the counter rails on a length of 50 cm are bent inside the track by 25 cm. The width of the gutter should be 75 - 100 mm, and the depth should not be less than 45 mm.
3.6. The width of the carriageway of the crossing must be equal to the width of the carriageway of the motor road, but not less than 6 m.
At crossings with an on-duty worker inside the gauge of each track (on single-track sections - on both sides), at a distance of 0.75 - 1.0 m from the flooring, devices in the form of metal tubes are fixed for installing portable signals to stop the rolling stock (red shield, lantern).
3.7. The motor road at the approaches to the crossing must have a fence: railings, guiding posts between the railway track and the barrier.
Guide posts and railing posts are placed on the sides of the highway every 2.5 m; the post closest to the track (the end of the railing) should be located at a distance of 2.5 m from the outermost rail.
Racks of barriers, masts of traffic lights of crossing signaling, railings and guide posts are located at a distance of at least 0.75 m from the edge of the carriageway.
Guide posts are installed on a section with a length depending on local conditions, but not less than 9 m from the extreme rails along the highway.
The height of the guide posts or railings from the surface of the carriageway of the highway should be 0.7 - 0.8 m.
Crossing barriers are painted in accordance with the requirements of GOST 23457-86 "Technical means of organizing traffic. Rules of application."
3.8. At crossings with heavy pedestrian traffic, walkways are arranged according to standard designs.
If there is a crossing signal at such crossings, the footpaths are equipped with an audible alarm, which additionally informs pedestrians about the prohibition of movement through the crossing.
3.9. At the approaches to crossings from the side of the railway track, permanent warning signs "C" are installed about the whistle of locomotive drivers, and from the side of the highway before all crossings without a duty worker - warning road signs 1.3.1 "Single-track railway" or 1.3.2 "Multi-track railway" (Fig. 1 - not shown).
If there is a traffic signal at the crossing, signs 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 are installed on the same support with traffic lights, and in its absence - at a distance of at least 6 m from the nearest rail, and from the edge of the carriageway to the edge of the sign at a distance of 0.5 - 2.0 m.
Signal signs "C" are installed outside the station on the right side in the direction of travel at a distance of 100 - 300 m from crossings, depending on local conditions.
3.10. At the approaches to crossings from the side of highways, in front of barriers, and where there are none, in front of the road sign 1.3.1 or 1.3.2, in accordance with the Rules of the Road of the Russian Federation, road warning signs 1.1 "Railway crossing with a barrier" or 1.2 "Railway crossing" are installed without a barrier" (see Fig. 1 - not shown) at a distance of 50 - 100 m from the outermost rail.
3.11. In case of unsatisfactory visibility of approaching trains before crossings without on-duty workers and not equipped with crossing signaling, as well as during work at the crossing, a priority road sign 2.5 "Movement without stopping is prohibited" is installed at a distance of at least 10 m from the outermost rail.
The decision to install such a road sign is made by the head of the organization after inspecting the crossing with the participation of the relevant services.
3.12. On electrified sections, on both sides of the crossing, clearance gates are installed with a passage height of not more than 4.7 m (Fig. 2 - not shown).
At crossings where the movement of heavy vehicles is organized, the height of the clearance gates may be higher than indicated. In all cases, the height of the clearance doors must be less than the height of the contact wire suspension by 0.5 m.
Dimensional gates are installed at a distance of at least 8.5 m from the outer rail, and in the presence of barriers - at least 5 m from them towards the highway, and at crossings not serviced by an attendant - at least 14 m from the outer rail.
The supports of the clearance gates are installed at a distance of at least 1.75 m from the edge of the carriageway of the highway.
On the clearance gates above the middle of the carriageway of the highway, a road sign 3.13 "Height restriction" is hung with the number on the sign "4.5" m.
The upper crossbar of the clearance gate is painted with straight transverse stripes 0.2 m wide of black and white flowers, and restrictive strips - stripes of red and white.
The supports of the clearance gates at a height of 2 m from the surface of the carriageway of the highway are painted with black and white inclined (at an angle of 45 °) stripes 0.2 m wide.
The location of devices and equipment at crossings is shown in fig. 3 - 5 (not given).
3.13. Crossings serviced by on-duty workers are equipped with barriers.
Bars of automatic, semi-automatic barriers, as well as electric barriers must have red reflective devices and have a standard length of 4; 6 and 8 m.
Automatic and semi-automatic barriers and electric barriers must cover at least half of the carriageway of the highway on the right side in the direction of vehicles. The left side of the road with a width of at least 3 m is not blocked.
If necessary, according to local conditions, it is allowed to install the specified barriers of non-standard length.
Mechanized barriers, as a rule, must cover the entire carriageway of the highway and have signal lights used at night, as well as during the day with poor visibility (fog, blizzard, snowfall, etc.). Signal lights installed on the barrier bars of mechanized barriers must be directed towards the highway:
at the closed position of barriers - red signals (lights);
at the open position of barriers - transparent-white signals (lights).
In the direction of the railway track - control transparent-white signals (lights), both in the open and in the closed position of the barriers.
Barriers are installed on the right side on the side of the road on both sides of the crossing, so that their bars in the closed position are located at a height of 1-1.5 m from the surface of the roadway. Wherein:
- mechanized barriers are located at a distance of at least 8.5 m from the outermost rail;
- automatic, semi-automatic barriers and electric barriers - at a distance of at least 6; eight; 10 m depending on the length of the barrier beam (4; 6; 8 m - if such a length of the beam is provided for by the project).
3.14. To protect the crossing during the repair of the track, structures and devices, spare horizontal-turning barriers of manual action should be used, installed at a distance of at least 1 m from the main barriers in the direction of the highway and blocking the carriageway of the road no less than the main ones. These barriers must have devices for fixing them in the open and closed positions and hanging a signal light.
Barriers of barriers (main and spare) are painted with alternating stripes of red and white, inclined (when viewed from the side of the road) to the right horizontally at an angle of 45 - 50 °. Strip width 500 - 600 mm. The end of the barrage must have a red stripe 250-300 mm wide. Bars of mechanized and spare barriers are equipped with red reflective devices.
3.15. The normal position of automatic and semi-automatic barriers is open, and that of electric barriers and mechanized barriers is closed.
In some cases, at crossings with heavy traffic of vehicles, as well as at crossings transferred to the service of other services, the normal position of electric barriers and mechanized barriers can be set open.
In the normally closed position of the barriers, they open only to allow vehicles to pass in the absence of an approaching train.
3.16. If it is necessary to separate traffic flows in opposite directions (center line) on a road with two or three lanes in both directions, road markings are applied in accordance with GOST R 51256-99 "Technical means of organizing traffic. Types and main parameters. General technical requirements".
The need for applying horizontal markings and the procedure for applying them is established by a commission chaired by the head of the organization.
3.17. At crossings serviced by a railway worker on duty, premises for duty officers should be built according to standard designs - buildings of crossing posts, which, as a rule, are located at a distance of 3.5 m from the extreme rail of the railway track and from the edge of the carriageway of the highway.
When one attendant serves two or more closely located crossings, the building of the crossing post is placed in such a way that conditions for good visibility of these serviced crossings are provided from it.
The crossing post must have an exit along the path towards the highway. Exits towards the railway track in the buildings of crossing posts must be protected by railings.
3.18. Crossings of categories I and II are equipped with electric lighting. The need for lighting crossings of categories III and IV and the degree of illumination are determined by the head of the organization, taking into account local conditions.
Illumination of crossings should be at least: category I - 5 lux, category II - 3 lux.
3.19. Crossings with on-duty workers must have direct telephone communication (or radio communication) with the nearest station, radio communication with train locomotive drivers (if they are equipped with such a connection), and in sections with dispatcher centralization - with a train dispatcher.
The telephone call is supplemented by an external call (howler).
3.20. Application typical systems crossing signaling at crossings of industrial railway transport is established by a commission, the composition of which is determined by the head of the organization.
Types of crossing signaling and barriers for crossings are established by projects taking into account the requirements of this Instruction and local conditions of transport operation.
3.21. On roads before crossings equipped with crossing signaling, traffic lights are installed with two horizontally located and alternately flashing red signals (lights) that are important (Fig. 6 - not shown):
the red signal (fire) is on - the movement of vehicles is prohibited;
the red signal (fire) is off - the movement of vehicles is allowed only after the driver is convinced that there is no train approaching the crossing.
Traffic lights are installed on the right side in the direction of movement of vehicles. In some cases, due to local conditions (visibility conditions, traffic intensity, etc.), signals (lights) of traffic lights can be repeated on the opposite side of the highway.
3.22. At crossings without a duty officer, traffic signaling with traffic lights with two alternately flashing red signals (lights) and one white-moon flashing signal (light) can be used, signaling (Fig. 6):
the red signal (fire) is on, the white-moon signal (fire) is off - the movement of vehicles is prohibited;
the white-moon signal (fire) is on, the red light (signal) is off - the movement of vehicles is allowed;
red and moon-white signals (lights) are off - the crossing signaling is disabled or defective.
In the event of a disconnection of the signaling or its malfunction, the duty officer of the nearest station (or the train dispatcher in case of dispatcher centralization) is automatically notified of the malfunction of the crossing signaling.
The procedure for notifying locomotive drivers and regulating the movement of vehicles at the crossing is established by the relevant instruction.
3.23. Automatic traffic signaling must be adjusted in such a way that the start of the stop signal in the direction of the motor road is made in the time necessary for the vehicle to clear the crossing. At the same time, at the moment the train enters the approach section, at the traffic lights towards the highway, flashing red signals (lights) are switched on, and acoustic signals (bells or bells) are given for additional information of traffic participants about the prohibition of movement through the crossing.
The red signals (lights) are turned off after the train has cleared the crossing.
When trains (shunting trains) move in an unspecified direction on single-track sections equipped with automatic blocking, and along the wrong track on double- and multi-track sections, the red signals (lights) are turned off after the approach section located behind the crossing along the train is released.
Red flashing signals (lights) at traffic lights are switched on from the moment the train enters the approach section and after a time determined by the calculation, the barrier bars of the plans are lowered to a horizontal position.
Automatic barriers must remain closed, and the red signals (lights) of traffic lights must be on (burn) until the train is completely free of the crossing.
When the crossing is completely cleared by the train, the barrier bars rise to a vertical position, after which the red signals (lights) at the traffic lights turn off.
Opening of semi-automatic barriers and turning off red flashing signals (lights) at traffic lights and acoustic signals is carried out by the duty officer at the crossing by pressing the "Open" button.
At crossings, the approach sections of which include station tracks, when a train departs at a prohibitory indication of traffic lights, automatic traffic signaling should be switched on by the station (post) officer on duty by pressing the "Closing the crossing" button.
At the same time, the locomotive driver, when approaching the crossing, must proceed with special care at a speed of no more than 15 km / h and be ready to stop if an obstacle is encountered.
The operating procedure for such crossings is indicated in the relevant instructions.
3.24. At crossings with an on-duty worker that are not equipped with track circuits, the station (post) duty officer by telephone (or in another way) notifies the crossing duty officer of the departure of the train.
The procedure for notifying, turning on and off the crossing signaling is established by the relevant instructions.
3.25. At crossings located within or near stations and equipped with crossing signaling, station attendants should not allow a long time between the opening of exit signals and the departure of trains so as not to cause delays for vehicles at the crossings.
The station attendant must timely submit a notice of the crossing, turn on the alarm, notify the crossing attendant of the departure of the train by phone or in another way determined by the local instructions.
3.26. At crossings with on-duty workers, a barrage alarm is set up.
Entrance, exit, warning, shunting, through and route traffic lights located at a distance of 15–300 m from the crossing can be used as barrier traffic lights, provided that the crossing is visible from the place of their installation.
If it is impossible to use the indicated traffic lights, special barrier traffic lights are installed before the crossing at a distance of at least 15 m and not more than 300 m, depending on the visibility conditions.
In the event that, due to local conditions, it is not possible to maintain the indicated distances, the installation site of the traffic lights is determined by a commission chaired by the head of the organization.
The indications of the barrier traffic light must be visible to the driver of the train approaching the crossing at a distance not less than the braking distance with full service braking.
Barrage traffic lights are installed on single-track sections on both sides of the crossing. On double-track sections - on the right track, and on the wrong track - in the following cases:
on double-track sections equipped with two-way blocking;
while regularly moving on the wrong path.
Installation of barrier traffic lights on the wrong path is allowed on the left side of the path.
At crossings located within the boundaries of stations and near them, in the areas of approach to which there are station tracks, where when the train departs from the station with a prohibitory indication of the exit traffic light, the required notification time for closing the crossing when the train starts moving from a place is not provided, from the side of the station can be installed normally lit traffic lights. In this case, when the train moves to the prohibitory indication of the traffic light and enters the rail circuit adjacent to the crossing, red flashing signals (lights) are switched on at the crossing traffic lights, and then, after a delay of time required for the vehicles to clear the crossing, the red light of the barrier traffic light is turned off. .
The procedure for servicing such crossings is established by the relevant instructions.
At crossings located on hauls of double-track sections and equipped with barrier signaling for movement only along the correct track, the head of the organization establishes a procedure in which the prohibition indication of barrier traffic lights when moving along the correct track is a stop signal also for trains following the wrong track.
If the required visibility of the barrier traffic light is not provided, then in areas not equipped with blocking, a warning traffic light is installed in front of such a traffic light, the same shape as the barrier, and giving a yellow light signal when the main traffic light is red and not burning when the main traffic light is extinguished.
Crossings with an on-duty worker located on sections with automatic blocking, regardless of the presence of barrier traffic lights, are equipped with devices for switching the nearest automatic blocking traffic lights before the crossing to a prohibitory indication if there are obstacles to the movement of trains at the crossings.
3.27. Control boards for crossing signaling are installed outside the building of the crossing duty officer in a place of good visibility of the railway track and the highway at the approaches to the crossing.
On the control panels, depending on the type of crossing signaling, buttons and control lamps are placed. Their purpose and procedure for use are determined by the project documentation and must be contained in the operating instructions for the crossing.
4. Organization of the work of the mover on duty
4.1. Persons who meet the requirements for applicants for work in industrial railway transport, for positions related to the movement of trains and shunting work, are appointed to the position of a moving attendant.
They must undergo a medical examination to determine suitability for the performance of the relevant work, training in a special program and testing the knowledge established for this profession, as well as the rules and instructions, including job descriptions and operating instructions for the serviced crossing.
4.2. The duty officer during the shift must have with him:
signal horn for giving sound signals to railway workers;
a police whistle to give an additional signal in order to attract the attention of traffic participants;
two signal flags (red and yellow) in a case, and at night and in case of poor visibility during daylight hours (fog, blizzard and other adverse conditions) - a signal light for giving visible signals.
4.3. The building of the crossing point must have:
moving schedule;

one spare portable red shield and one spare signal light;
one set of signal flags.
In winter, at crossings, it is necessary to have a constant supply of sand or slag for sprinkling the carriageway of the crossing and footpaths within the borders of the crossing during ice.
The operating instructions for the crossing are drawn up by the head of the track, signaling and communications service, and if the crossing is located on the territory of the station, with the participation of its head and approved by the head of the organization. This instruction should be reviewed when changing the operating conditions of the move, but at least once every 5 years. Approximate contents of the instructions are given in Appendix 1.
4.4. The duty officer on duty at the crossing must check the railway track within 50 m from the crossing in both directions, the condition of the crossing equipment and all its devices, the presence of seals on the sealed devices, the presence and condition of hand signals, tools and inventory.
All comments, malfunctions of barriers, crossing and barrage alarms, telephone (radio) communications, as well as eliminated malfunctions, are recorded in the book for the acceptance and delivery of duty and inspection of devices at the crossing (Appendix 3). If there is automation, write down: "Automatic is faulty".
The duty officer for the crossing must immediately inform the duty officers of the nearest separate points (train dispatcher) about a malfunction of the crossing and barrage signaling and automatic barriers or electric barriers, as well as telephone (radio) communications. Until the malfunction is eliminated and the electrician is noted about it in the book for the acceptance and delivery of duty and inspection of devices at the crossing, it is prohibited to use faulty devices.
After the elimination of each malfunction, the duty officer for the crossing must make a corresponding entry in the book for the reception of duty and inspection of devices at the crossing.
If a detected malfunction that threatens traffic safety cannot be immediately eliminated on its own, the crossing duty officer is obliged to protect the dangerous place with stop signals, close the movement of vehicles through the crossing and immediately notify the station duty officer (train dispatcher), who, in turn, informs masters (foreman of the path).
4.5. While on duty, the duty officer must:
———————————
For those on duty at the turnout station and other workers who combine the functions of those on duty at crossings, the duties for servicing crossings should be established by the instruction.
open and close barriers in a timely manner and give the established signals, observe the condition of passing trains. In the event of a malfunction that threatens traffic safety, take measures to stop the train, and if there is no signal indicating the tail of the train, report this to the station attendant, and in sections equipped with dispatcher centralization, to the train dispatcher;
immediately protect the place of damage to the track, threatening the safe movement of trains, with stop signals, and report this by telephone to the station attendant or train dispatcher;
prohibit stopping at the crossing of vehicles and other self-propelled machines and mechanisms;
clean the gutters for free passage of wheel flanges along them and keep the entire crossing area within its boundaries in constant cleanliness;
monitor the good condition of barriers, alarm devices, warning and temporary signal signs for the passage of snowplows;

fix bolts, anti-thefts, clear the path of snow and grass, remove foreign objects from the path, straighten the ballast prism and inspect the path for 50 m in each direction from the crossing;
follow the instructions for safety and industrial sanitation for those on duty at the crossings.
It is allowed to carry out work on the way and at the crossing only with closed barriers.
He can use the available premises at the crossing only if the crossing is free from vehicles and there are no trains approaching the crossing. In this case, non-automatic barriers must be closed.
It is forbidden to leave the post or entrust the temporary maintenance of the crossing to other persons.
4.6. When a train, a separate locomotive, a track or other self-propelled vehicle or a trolley approaches, the duty officer at the crossing after the barriers are closed is obliged to check whether the tracks are clear at the crossing and on both sides of it, and get off the track when the train is at least 200 meters away from it. m.
When meeting a train, one must stand facing the track with a half-turn of the head towards the movement, as a rule, at the building of the crossing post (on an open or glazed veranda) at a distance of no closer than 2 m from the extreme rail, give a signal with a wind horn (one long sound when an odd train approaches and two long ones when an even-numbered train approaches), give a signal when there is a free path: during the day - a folded yellow flag, at night - a transparent white light of a hand lamp; if it is necessary to reduce the speed of the train: unfurled yellow flag during the day; at night on hauls - a slow movement up and down of a hand lantern with a transparent white light, at stations - a hand lantern with yellow light; if there is no such lantern, by slowly moving up and down a hand lantern with a transparent white light.
In order to maintain traffic safety, when meeting a train, the crossing duty officer must carefully inspect the rolling stock.
After the train has passed, it is necessary, without getting out on the track, to make sure that there is no other train, locomotive or railcar following or on the adjacent track, and then open non-automatic barriers and let vehicles pass through the crossing.
After the passage of a traveling wagon, a traveling trolley or a removable railcar, the duty officer at the crossing must replace the yellow folded flag with a red unfolded one and keep it until the signalman, the guarding the trailer or trolley appears from behind, or until the railcar follows the crossing and moves away from it by 200 - 250 m.
4.7. When a train, locomotive or trolley passes, the crossing attendant is obliged to give a stop signal in the following cases:
if a malfunction is noticed in a passing train that threatens traffic safety: wheels that are skidding or emitting strong blows due to sliders, fire, burning axle boxes, the threat of cargo falling from the train, etc. After passing the train, in which a skidding wheel pair or having sliders was found, the crossing duty officer is obliged to immediately inform the station duty officer (train dispatcher), road foreman (track foreman) about this and conduct a continuous inspection of the track within the area he serves;
if one train goes towards another along the same track or one train overtakes another, a trolley or a traveling car (in the latter case, a stop signal is given only to the overtaking train);
if stop signals are given to the driver from the train or from the track, and the train continues to move;
in case of fire in the right of way, threatening traffic;
in other cases that threaten traffic safety and people's lives.
On the noticed malfunctions in the train, the duty officer for the crossing must inform the driver of this train (if there is a radio connection), as well as by telephone to the station duty officer (train dispatcher).
4.8. At crossings equipped with semi-automatic barriers, their opening is possible only after the train passes through the crossing and the person on duty at the crossing presses the "Open" button on the control panel. If, when pressing this button, semi-automatic barriers are not transferred to the open position, and at crossings with automatic barriers, the latter are not automatically transferred to the open position, then before removing the seal and using the "Emergency opening" button, the crossing attendant must remove the seal from the "Turn on" button barriers" and press it, make sure that there are no trains on the approaches to the crossing, make an entry in the Book of acceptance and delivery of duty and inspection of devices at the crossing about a malfunction of automation devices and immediately inform the station duty officer (train dispatcher) about this. After that, it is allowed to remove the seal from the "Emergency Opening" button and press it to move the barriers to the open position. The "Emergency opening" button must be kept pressed by the crossing attendant until the vehicle or group of vehicles passes under the barrier beam.
By pressing the "Emergency opening" button, the crossing attendant turns off the traffic lights and sound alarms for this time, forcibly opens the barriers and takes control of them.
After removing the hand from the button, the crossing signaling and barriers should automatically turn on and the barriers should be transferred to the closed position.
When using the "Emergency opening" button, vehicles must be passed in small groups.
The order of information of the duty officer at the crossing about the movement of trains in the event of a malfunction of automation devices at the crossing and in all cases when railcars are moving due to their possible non-shunting of track circuits is established by the instruction.
The crossing duty officer, having received a message about the movement of the trolley, must monitor its passage, press the "Close" button and leave it pressed until the passage of the trolley through the crossing.
In the event that the crossing alarm is not working, and the automatic or semi-automatic barriers are not closed, the crossing duty officer must also turn on the alarm by pressing the "Close" button. If, after pressing the "Close" button, they do not close, then the duty officer must act in the order until the malfunction is eliminated. established by the instruction for the operation of the move.
4.9. If there are obstacles at the crossing that threaten traffic safety, as well as when the crossing is blocked by a fallen load or a stopped vehicle, the duty officer for the crossing acts as follows:
if there is a barrier alarm, it immediately turns it on, for which, after removing the seal, presses the "Enable barrier" button and closes the barriers. The inclusion of barrier traffic lights is checked by the bulbs available on the control panel of the barriers;
after the barrage alarm is turned on, he informs the station duty officer or the train dispatcher about the incident by phone, and if there is radio communication, he informs the train drivers about the need to stop and about the presence of an obstacle at the crossing, after which he takes measures to eliminate it.
The breaking of the seal from the button "Turn on the barrage alarm" should be recorded in the book of acceptance and delivery of duty and inspection of devices at the crossing and the electrician of the signaling system should be called.
After the removal of obstacles to traffic or a malfunction at the crossing, the barrier traffic lights must be extinguished.
If the red light of the barrier traffic light does not go out, the crossing duty officer is obliged to close the barriers and personally inform the driver about the malfunction of the barrier traffic light, after which the driver has the right to follow the prohibitory signal of the barrier traffic light.
4.10. In the absence of a barrier signal or its malfunction, or when the control lights on the panel do not light up, the duty officer for the crossing must immediately install a portable stop signal on each railway track on which an obstacle has arisen (during the day - a red shield, at night - a lantern with a red light in both directions ), close the barriers, notify the station duty officer (train dispatcher) of the obstacle and at the same time find out whether the train has been sent from the station to the haul or not.
In the event that a train leaves the station, the station attendant must warn the train driver about the obstacle at the crossing.
The crossing duty officer, having received a notification from the station duty officer (train dispatcher) about the departure of the train to the stage, must go towards the train, giving a stop signal. After the train stops, the crossing attendant returns to the place of the obstacle and takes all possible measures to eliminate it.
If the crossing signaling fails, the barriers are closed by the crossing attendant by pressing the "Close" button.
If automatic barriers are not closed (damaged) when the button is pressed, then the crossing attendant is obliged to protect the crossing with spare horizontal-turning barriers and use them to pass vehicles through the crossing until the malfunction is eliminated in accordance with the instructions.
In the same order, the crossing duty officer acts if the crossing is equipped with mechanized barriers.
4.11. In the event of a break at the crossing of the wires of the contact network or power wires crossing the railway tracks, the duty officer at the crossing must turn on the barrage alarm, close the barriers, protect the dangerous place with portable stop signals at a distance of at least 50 m from the place of the break, report the case to the station duty officer (train dispatcher) and stay at the obstacle until the arrival of power supply workers, making sure that there is no access to broken wires at a distance of less than 8 m and does not touch the rails.
4.12. In the event of a traffic accident that occurs at or near a crossing, the duty officer is obliged to:
take measures to ensure the safety of trains and vehicles;
report the incident to the station duty officer (train dispatcher), road foreman (track foreman) in accordance with the procedure established by the instruction;
provide first aid to the injured, and if possible, call an ambulance.
4.13. The procedure for ensuring traffic safety when sending trains along the wrong track on sections where crossings are equipped with automatic devices for the movement of trains only along the right track is established by the relevant instructions for servicing the crossing, taking into account the crossing signaling system used.
In doing so, it is necessary to be guided by the following provisions:
in the production of track and other works, when the operation of the automatic traffic signal at crossings serviced by duty officers is violated, the automatic barriers must be controlled manually using the buttons on the control panel.
Barriers must be closed at this time. They are opened for the passage of vehicles only in the absence of trains, about the approach of which the crossing duty officer must receive a message from the station duty officer.
At crossings not serviced by duty officers and equipped with automatic traffic signaling, duty must be established for the period of train movement.
In the absence of telephone communication at crossings taken temporarily for service, a temporary telephone (radio) connection must be established.
The procedure for the actions of those on duty at the crossing for the period of organization of two-way train traffic on one track on two and multi-track sections during the performance of track, construction and other works, as well as when trains depart on the wrong track, must be indicated in the operating instructions for the crossing.
4.14. Only with the permission of the head of the track service is it allowed to move through the crossing of heavy, dangerous and bulky goods, machines and mechanisms, the size and speed of which are determined by clause 15.3 of the Rules of the Road of the Russian Federation and clause 15 of the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials on ensuring road safety, approved by the Decree of the Council of Ministers - the Government of the Russian Federation of October 23, 1993 N 1090.
An application for a permit must be submitted to the head of the track service no later than 24 hours before transportation. The application must specify the width and height of the vehicle, and if there is a road train, its length. If necessary, the head of the track service is obliged to submit an application in advance for issuing warnings for trains.
The road foreman (track foreman) must ensure that the crossing is fenced with stop signals in accordance with the Instructions for signaling on industrial railway transport, approved by order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation dated 30.03.2001 N AN-23-r, and monitor the passage of these vehicles.
On electrified sections with a vehicle height of more than 4.5 m, the head of the track service informs the head of the power supply service in advance (indicating the date of passing the vehicle), the latter determines the possibility of passing the vehicle according to the height of the suspension of the wires of the contact network from the level of the rail heads, overhead lines, group grounding, waveguide from the surface of the carriageway of the highway within the boundaries of the crossing and allocates a representative for observation.
4.15. The shift officer reports directly to the track foreman.
The procedure for reporting to the crossing duty officers about cases of violation of the Rules of the Road is established by the local operating instructions for the crossing.

5.2. Repair of track devices at crossings is carried out in a planned manner by employees of the track service. During the overhaul of the track, as a rule, the overhaul of crossings should also be carried out. The scope of work during repairs for each crossing is determined taking into account local conditions by the head of the track service with the preparation, if necessary, of working drawings.
The repair of the carriageway of a motor road, the flooring and the carriageway between the crossing tracks may be entrusted to third parties if they have a license to carry out such work.
Track works that violate the operation of automation at crossings must be agreed with the heads of the signaling and communication service.
Repair of automatic (semi-automatic) barriers, electric barriers, crossing and barrage signaling at crossings is carried out by employees of the signaling and communication service.
The closing time of the crossing for repairs should be determined by the work schedule (project, technological process etc.). The installation of road information signs for the direction of bypassing vehicles is assigned to the track service or another organization that performs repair work.
5.3. Before performing track work, repairing automatic devices (barriers and signaling) at crossings, as well as when repairing automatic blocking or power supply devices that disrupt the operation of automation at crossings, the organization’s track, signaling and communication, power supply services develop joint measures to ensure traffic safety at the period of performance of the relevant work. If necessary, additional briefings are organized for crossing attendants, train drivers, station attendants, additional workers are assigned to assist at the crossing, warnings are issued about special conditions for trains to travel along the repaired crossing, etc.
At crossings without on-duty workers (track foremen, electricians or electricians who perform work) for the duration of the work, road signs of priority 2.5 "Movement without stopping is prohibited" at crossing traffic lights must be installed on each side of the crossing. Two such signs must be stored in a separate box of the track service at the building of the duty officer for the crossing.
In case of complex repairs, the work manager draws up a project for the production of work, which is agreed with all the services of the organization involved in the work.
5.4. Periodic inspections of the condition and operation of track devices and automation equipment at crossings by officials are carried out in the time and manner prescribed by the instructions of the relevant services.

The book of acceptance and delivery of duties and inspection of devices at the crossing should be checked at each check of the maintenance and service of the crossing: by the road foreman at least twice a month, by the track foreman at least four times a month, and also at each visit to the crossing.
The results of the check must be recorded in the specified Book of reception and delivery of duty.
When examining the crossing by employees of the traffic service (transportation, operation), such control work should also be carried out by the heads of the station and the traffic service.
6. Terms used in the "Instructions for the operation of crossings on the tracks of industrial railway transport"
Automatic traffic light signaling - a system of crossing signaling, in which the passage of vehicles through the crossing is regulated by special crossing traffic lights with two red alternately flashing signals (lights), which turn on automatically when the train approaches a distance that ensures the early release of the crossing by vehicles, and turn off automatically after the train passes .
It can be supplemented with a white-moon flashing signal (fire) at crossing traffic lights.
Red flashing signals (lights) of crossing traffic lights are supplemented by acoustic signals.
At crossings with an attendant, automatic traffic signaling is used with automatic or semi-automatic barriers.
Automatic traffic light signaling with automatic barriers is a system in which the transition of the barrier bars to the closed (horizontal) position is carried out automatically after the estimated time after the train enters the approach section and the sound and traffic signals are turned on. The bars of the barriers are transferred to the open (vertical) position also automatically after the train clears the crossing.
Crossings equipped with automatic traffic signaling with automatic barriers are serviced by duty workers.
Automatic traffic light signaling with semi-automatic barriers is a system in which the transition of the barrier bars to the closed (horizontal) position is carried out automatically after the estimated time after the train enters the approach section and the sound and traffic lights are turned on. The transition of the barrier bars to the open (vertical) position is carried out by the duty officer at the crossing by pressing a special button.

Crossing signaling is the general name for signaling systems used at railway crossings.
A subdivision of an organization's industrial railway transport is a workshop, service, brigade, etc. within the organization.
Train - a formed and coupled composition of wagons with one or more operating locomotives; having set signals. Locomotives without wagons and special self-propelled rolling stock sent for haul are considered as a train (see PTE PT).
Train signals are signals used to identify trains, locomotives and other vehicles.
Traffic lane - a longitudinal strip of the carriageway along which vehicles move in one row.
Crossing carriageway - a road element intended for the movement of trackless vehicles within the borders of the crossing.
Industrial railway transport is a complex of technical means and structures of non-public railway transport that provides transport services for production processes and the provision of transport services, as well as communication with other organizations and public transport.
