Railroads must tell the commission and local governments at least 10 days before doing planned work that could have a major impact on a community.
This can include closing or blocking a crossing for inspection, rebuilding, or repairs.
For more details, see WAC 480-62-305 - Railroad Community Notice Requirements.
