Minimum Train Crew Size

State law requires railroads to operate trains and switching assignments with crews of no less than two crewmembers, with few exceptions (see RCW 81.40.015 and RCW 81.40.025). UTC enforces the requirements for the minimum train crew size in WAC 480-62-255 and ensures compliance through periodic inspections.
