Exactly. After all they are the ones who will write any possible citation. Really you can ask 10,000 strangers and everyone gives the same answer. Unless the officer writing the citation agrees it becomes a fight in court. And if the court agrees with the officer, doesn't matter what those 10,000 people think.

Now even if it's illegal, if the officer writing the citation doesn't care, well an unenforced law is the same as no law.

Pretty sure RR tracks aren't a public right of way enforced by DOT.

Rail fails under DOT as a whole. They have their own HOS and regs related tracks etc. not sure of what crossover between modes of trans there would be though.

My employer has a set of RR tracks that separates a lot on the property where we park trailers that is bound by fencing and has automatic opening gates on both sides when you pull up to it..My question is does the Yard Jockey need to posses a CDL A to cross over the tracks to the other lot? And also if the yard has continuous traffic as far as outside carriers making deliveries or if there is constuction going on in the yard or anything else of the sort is the Yard Jockey required to have a CDL A? Our Yard Jockeys don't leave the property.

You don't need a CDL. The railroad tracks are not public property. The RR tracks belong to the RR .
You're good to go.
