Trackage should be inspected according to FRA track safety
standards and NAVFAC MO-103, Maintenance of Trackage. Trackage not meeting
Class 1 standards should not be used. Trackage not meeting Class 2 standards
should have restricted use. Operational restrictions should be approved by
NAVFACENGCOM . Excessively worn or defective rails should be replaced in
accordance with MO-103 standards. Weeds along the right-of-way should be
destroyed or cut to reduce fire hazards. All warning signs, instruction
boards, and signals should be reinstalled or restored to proper working
condition. Crossings should be rehabilitated as necessary.
Track Scales. Track scales should be adjusted, repaired, and
2.3.6.2
restored to operable condition. Scale pits should be drained and cleared of
rubbish.
Bridge Inactivation. Bridge inactivation requires a detailed
2.3.7
inspection of the structure. Any physical damage, defects, or corroded areas
that threaten the ability of the bridge to survive the inactive period should
be repaired. An economic study should be completed to determine whether to
inactivate or close a damaged bridge. Footings should be examined for
structural integrity. Mechanical equipment for drawbridges should be
inactivated in accordance with the instructions for the particular equipment
types. Related activities are discussed in paras. 2.4.1.3, and 2.4.1.4.
Bridge Reactivation. The structural integrity of the bridge should
2.3.8
be verified before it is reactivated. Footings of the bridge should be
examined for erosion. Any major structural or corrosion damage should be
repaired. The load-carrying capacity of the bridge should be tested with
assistance from the EFD, and load limit signs should be posted.
