The following rules cover certain special details for the construction of supply lines or communication lines crossing over railroads, excluding street railways.  These rules are supplemental to the rules given for lines in general construction details of various classes of lines where alone, and such rules shall be followed in all respects except as modified herein or where clearly not applicable to railroad crossing construction,

For the purpose of this order, compliance with the American Railway Association specifications for telegraph, telephone and other communication wires and cable crossing the tracks of steam and electrified railroads, as approved January, 1924 will be considered as meeting the requirements of this section.
