Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Railroad companies must install and maintain special equipment called defect detectors along their branch lines to check for problems. If a company fails to have these detectors in the right places or if a detector fails to work, they must pay fines. These rules apply to any railroad company that operates trains on these specific lines. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1

trains operate. If the branch line is longer than miles, one defect detector is required at least every miles. Railroad companies that operate trains on the same railway may share such costs and are jointly and severally liable in any suit arising from the installation and maintenance of all defect detectors, or lack thereof, on or along the railway branch line.5 for every mile of the branch line, or every mile that is more than miles away from a defect detector, as applicable. A railroad company is also subject to a schedule “five” penalty for each time a train crosses or passes by a defect detector that fails to notify the train crew of a detected defect. A schedule “five” penalty is a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000 for a first violation, and not less than $5,000 nor more than $10,000 for a subsequent violation.
