What is the maximum speed allowed for pull-by inspections after a defect is reported by a trackside warning detector?

The maximum speed allowed for pull-by inspections after a defect is reported by a trackside warning detector is set at 10 MPH. This speed is put in place to ensure safety while allowing the train to proceed past the detection point for inspection purposes.

Executing a pull-by inspection at this regulated speed allows crew members sufficient time to observe the train's performance and identify any potential issues that may have been flagged by the detector. This careful approach helps in maintaining safety standards while minimizing the disruption to train operations. Maintaining a speed of 10 MPH during these inspections balances the need for thoroughness in checking for defects with the need to keep trains moving under regulated conditions.
