Occasionally
MRL elects to approve a new site for a billboard. There
are many safety and operating concerns involved, therefore
each site will be evaluated by various railroad departments
for acceptable conditions for sign placement.
Please
complete the Billboard
Application and forward three copies to Property
Management along with a non-refundable $500 application
fee and a site plan clearly illustrating dimensions
of site needed, size of billboard, distance from tracks
or other railroad structures, point of access and advertising
subject.
General Guidelines:
- Access
to sign sites will not be permitted over tracks unless
approved by railroad. Applicant may be required to
sign a separate access agreement.
- Sign
sites should be located as far from road crossings
as possible.
- Minimum
distance between centerline of nearest track and nearest
sign support is 25 feet.
- Minimum
distance between centerline of nearest track and nearest
part of sign (face, lights, cat walk) is 15 feet.
- Minimum
distance from top of rail, at grade, to bottom of
sign face is 15 feet.
