Or are reduced-speed runs permitted... <br /> <br />MP <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />While I think you could technically put in stop and flag orders for all the crossings, as a practical matter I would think that the maintainers would reinstall the crossing arms, reserving stop and flag for those locations where there was damage to the crossing protection that couldn't be easily repaired immediately. Disclaimer: I am not a C&S guy and have only my own observations to rely upon in this context. <br /> <br />LC
