Contractor Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

Applicants for Private Use Drive - Personal use only

For use of private (non-commercial use) grade crossings, individuals are required to maintain both personal and automobile liability coverage with minimum limits of $2,000,000 per occurrence and $6,000,000 aggregate as well as name the Railroad and RailAmerica as additional insured. Evidence of this coverage is required and a current certificate is to be provided annually to the RailAmerica Real Estate Department in Jacksonville, FL for its records.

Individual users of grade crossings have found it difficult to meet the insurance requirements. Railroad Protective Solutions (RPS) offers an option to the individual grade crossing user to secure the required protection for the railroad against negligent acts which could occur within the railroad right-of-way of the private crossing. With compliance of the required insurance per the terms of the agreement between the applicant and railroad, the property owner can maintain full use of the grade crossing over the railroad tracks. However, should there be any violation of the terms of the agreement between user and railroad (i.e. failure to maintain and provide evidence of valid liability coverage), the railroad has due cause to close or remove this access through the railroad right of way. An application can be completed by clicking on the link below. If you have any questions or require additional information please call or email Stephanie Woltemath or Jackie Griess with Railroad Protective Solutions.
