In May 1999, TXO installed new railcar loading racks to meet OSHA's fall protection standards. However, the installation encroached on the mandatory rail corridor clearance of 22 feet from the top of rail and 8 feet 6 inches from the tracks' centerline. To address this, TXO requested a variance, which was granted with specific conditions regarding the corridor clearance requirements. This document presents excerpts from the variance and the associated conditions, detailing the compliance measures taken by TXO.
