The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad Company is required to construct at its own expense and to maintain in continuous operation automatic mechanical warning devices for the purpose of warning pedestrians, drivers of vehicles and others crossing its tracks of the approach of its engines and cars:
A. At Second South Street between Fifth West Street and Sixth West Street, where its tracks cross Second South Street;
B. At Sixth South and Fifth West Streets, where its tracks cross Sixth South Street; and
C. At Eighth South Street and Fifth West Street, where its tracks cross Eighth South Street. (Prior code § 35-2-6)
A. The automatic mechanical warning devices at Second South Street and Fifth West Street and at Eighth South Street and Fifth West Street shall consist of cantilever style railroad crossing signals which extend an arm with a flashing light overhead on either side of the roadway into the intersection when rail traffic is approaching the crossing.
B. The automatic mechanical warning devices at the crossing at Sixth South Street and Fifth West Street shall consist of automatic flashing light signals to be located on both sides of the roadway adjacent to the railroad tracks of the said railroad company.
C. The signals at each of such crossings shall be so constructed as to be automatically actuated by engines and cars on the tracks of the railroad company, and shall be located and adjusted so as to adequately and safely provide warning of the approach of all rail traffic at such crossings. (Prior code § 35-2-7)
The rights of regulating the kind of power to be used in the city in propelling cars on and along railroads, and the speed of the same, together with the price of the license or tax to be paid therefor, shall not, by virtue of any grant or contract, be construed to mean that such right passes to the grantee; but such rights, together with all other powers vested in the mayor or city council for the regulating, controlling or removing of railroads within the city are expressly retained and reserved. (Prior code § 35-2-8)
It is unlawful for any person to run any locomotive, engine, train or cars operated on rails at a speed greater than twenty five (25) miles per hour in the city, south of 600 North Street, except in the following areas:
A. Between North Temple Street and 300 South Street from 400 West Street to 1100 West Street, in which it is unlawful for any person to run any locomotive, engine, train or cars operated on rails at a speed greater than thirty five (35) miles per hour;
B. Between North Temple Street and 700 South Street from 1100 West Street to the western limits of Salt Lake City, in which it is unlawful for any person to run any locomotive, engine, train or cars operated on rails at a speed greater than fifty (50) miles per hour. (Prior code § 35-2-2)
All locomotives, cars and trains are required to come to a full stop before crossing any other line of railroad, and at a distance of not less than forty feet (40') therefrom; and when two (2) trains arrive at the same crossing simultaneously, the train on the first constructed track shall have precedence in crossing. (Prior code § 35-2-4)
The driver of a vehicle shall not overtake and pass upon the left any railroad train proceeding in the same direction, whether actually in motion or temporarily at rest. This provision shall not apply on one-way streets where the tracks are so located as to prevent compliance with the rule or where a police officer may direct otherwise. (Prior code title 46, art. 16 § 260)
