An employee of a railroad, or of a contractor to a railroad, whose duties include inspection, construction, maintenance or repair of railroad track, bridges, roadway, signal and communication systems, electric traction systems, roadway facilities or roadway maintenance machinery on or near track or with the potential of fouling a track and flagmen and watchmen/lookouts responsible for their protection.

• A. Marker
• B. ACSES Controlled Train
• C. Roadway Worker
• D. Foul Time

Answer: (C)

The scenario describes a Roadway Worker. This term refers to railroad employees or contractors whose duties involve inspecting, constructing, maintaining, or repairing track, bridges, roadway, signal and communication systems, electric traction, or related roadway equipment on or near the track, or in any place where there is a potential to foul a track. These workers are protected by flagmen and lookouts whose responsibility is to ensure their safe operation and prevent train intrusion into the work area.

Markers are location markers, not people; an ACSES Controlled Train is a type of train; and foul time is a safety concept about when a track is considered fouled.
