New Canadian Rail Operating Rules (CROR)
Source: Railway Association of Canada On February 26, 2008 the
Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities approved the new
CROR, submitted by the RAC on behalf of the industry. This new document
will provide for a more modern, meaningful and readily understandable
operating rule book. The new rule book will also facilitate the
introduction and use of new and improved technologies for safe railway
operations. It will also serve to remove redundant rules and practices
contained in the old CROR.
The new CROR was approved on February 26 but will not take effect until
May 28, 2008; this will allow industry time to train all of their
effected employees.
