Scheduling and double and triple tracking and PTC are designed to allow all trains to move <br /> safely at normal operating speeds without interference from other trains. Under normal <br /> conditions, this translates to no traffic interruptions for stopped trains. <br /> Emergency responders will experience less road crossing closure time than was experienced <br /> in 2006 when the FEC operated 24 daily freight trains.2 <br /> Conclusions: <br /> AAF is not a safety hazard and required "Sealed Corridor" crossing upgrades will substantially <br /> improve safety of road crossings by eliminating the number one cause of crossing collisions <br /> (weaving around the gates to "beat-the-train"). AAF improvements will reduce the risk of <br /> freight derailments3 by upgrading rail for increased speeds, adding double and triple tracking, <br /> installing PTC and improving rail maintenance. Faster operating speeds will lower crossing <br /> closure times. <br /> June 23, 2015 Page 5 of 12 <br /> /L2-.5 <br />
