Original General Order 95

Supply Lines or Communication Lines Crossing over Railroads

110    General

The following rules cover certain details for the construction of supply lines or communication lines crossing over railroads, excluding crossings over street railways. These rules are supplemental to the rules for lines in general, and to construction details of various classes of lines where alone, which general rules shall be followed in all respects except where clearly inapplicable to railroad crossing construction or where specifically modified herein.

Wherever a utility wishes to cross railroad tracks with any of its wires at a location other than a public thoroughfare, or a railroad wishes to cross beneath the wires of any utility at such a location, the consent of the utility whose facilities are being crossed must be obtained.
