Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation, 5.11
Taking into account the outcome of the action recommended in 13 above, consideration should be given to increasing the minimum allowable flangeway gap between open switch rails and stock rails in situations where wide gauge is found in points and cannot immediately be corrected. An explanation of the relationship between wide gauge, minimum allowable flangeway gap, and the potential for flangeback impacts should be documented and briefed to maintenance staff.
