In case of a flood or serious water condition, what action should be taken?

In situations involving a flood or serious water conditions, the primary action should be to contact the Rail Control Center (RCC) for instructions. The RCC is responsible for monitoring conditions across the system, making it the best resource for guidance on how to proceed safely. They have access to up-to-date information regarding the flood situation, potential hazards, and can coordinate an appropriate response to ensure the safety of all operations and personnel.

This approach prioritizes safety and allows for an informed decision based on the latest data, rather than relying on possibly outdated assessments or assumptions made by the tower operator. It ensures that any actions taken align with the broader operational strategy set forth by the RCC, thereby minimizing risk and enhancing safety for both passengers and train crews during adverse conditions.
