§ 484B.563. Moving heavy equipment at railroad grade crossing

1. It is unlawful for any person to operate or move any crawler-type tractor, power

shovel, derrick, roller, or any vehicle, equipment or structure having a normal operating

speed of 10 or less miles per hour or a vertical body or load clearance of less than

one-half inch per foot of the distance between any two adjacent axles or in any event

of less than 9 inches, measured above the level surface of a highway, upon or across

any tracks at a railroad grade crossing without first complying with this section. 2. Before making any such crossing the person operating or moving any such vehicle

or equipment shall first stop the same not less than 15 feet nor more than 50 feet

from the nearest rail of such railroad and while so stopped shall listen and look

in both directions along such track for any approaching train or other on-track equipment

and for signals indicating the approach of a train or other on-track equipment, and

shall not proceed until the crossing can be made safely. 3. No such crossing shall be made when warning is given by automatic signal or crossing

gates or a flagger or otherwise of the immediate approach of a railroad train or car

or other on-track equipment. If a flagger is provided by the railroad, movement over the crossing shall be under

the direction of the flagger.
