Enacts provisions relating to visual obstructions at railroad crossings

SB 801 requires railroad companies to maintain clear visibility at public grade crossings by removing vegetation, debris, or stored equipment within 250 feet of the crossing on both sides. It also mandates a minimum 500-foot distance for stored railroad cars on sidings (unless the transportation department approves otherwise), with exceptions for cars being loaded/unloaded or repaired. Landowners adjacent to railroads can legally demand railroads clear obstructions after a 3-day notice and may recover double their costs plus damages if railroads fail to comply. The bill directly affects railroad operators and adjacent landowners, focusing on physical safety measures to prevent accidents at crossings.
