<br />FRA’s final reflectorization rule to take effect March 4, 2005 <br /> <br /> The Federal Railroad Administration has issued its final rule on reflectorization, which requires railroads to install reflective materials on the sides of locomotives and freight cars to make trains more visible to motorists at grade crossings. <br /> <br />Beginning March 4, 2005 railroads are required to install yellow or white reflective materials on locomotives within five years and on cars within 10 years. Railroads must install the materials on all new locomotives and cars, and on existing rolling stock must be retrofitted during periodic maintenance or repairs unless they implement alternate plans that meet the FRA's requisite timetables. <br /> <br />From Progressive Railroading and Railway Age web postings
