This rule speaks of visibility problems, saying that crews must regulate speed so signals can be complied with.  It does not directly address visibility problems where no signals exist.  Would switch targets and fixed wayside signs count as signals?  They are items that must be seen in order to pass them; correct me if I'm wrong.   <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> I would judge that zero-visibility fog would qualify for what is set forth in the first sentence. <o:p></o:p> The second sentence ties speed with visibility. <o:p></o:p> The third sentence refers to unusual weather events, but does not directly mention fog. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <H2 style="MARGIN: auto 0in">6.21 Precautions Against Unusual Conditions<o:p></o:p></H2> Protect trains and engines against any known condition that may interfere with their safety. <o:p></o:p>When conditions restrict visibility, regulate speed to ensure that crew members can observe and comply with signal indications. <o:p></o:p> In unusually heavy rain, storm, or high water, trains and engines must approach bridges, culverts, and other potentially hazardous points prepared to stop.
