Which term describes an employee whose duties include inspection, construction, maintenance or repair on or near track?

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

Answer: (B)

The main idea is to know the term that names a person who does inspection, construction, maintenance, or repair on or near the track. That description fits Roadway Worker. This is the official designation for personnel who perform work in or around track areas and are subject to track protection rules to keep them safe from approaching trains.

Marker refers to a signaling or marking device or signal, not a person. ACSES Controlled Train describes a train operated under the signaling system, not an employee. Foul Time is the protected time during which track work is allowed and trains are restricted to ensure worker safety, not a job title. So Roadway Worker is the best choice because it directly identifies the person performing those duties.
