Signal Inspection Act
In the Signal Inspection Act, provisions are given to the FRA to regulate   the safety of railroad signals. This includes the maintenance, testing, removal, or modification of signal   systems. Railroad signals are just as important as road signals for drivers   of cars. Without them, accidents happen. There have been many recorded   accidents that could have been avoided if proper maintenance and care   was provided to signals and warning devices, which is why the Signal Inspection   Act was established. Maintenance, testing, and modification of signal   systems are required in the hopes that maintaining these signals will   lead to fewer railroad accidents. Just some of the requirements regarding signals include: Every railroad system must have qualified signal and train inspectors. They are required to have at least four years' experience or a bachelor's    degree in electrical engineering and have specialized knowledge of all    the rules and regulations required by FRA. In order to ensure grade crossing safety, all warning signals must be working properly.
