Answer: Position a crew member on the ground to warn traffic against movements that may be approaching on adjacent tracks

Feedback:
Equipment that is not at least 250 feet from a crossing can block the vision of cars drivers stopped at the crossing. A car stopped at the top crossing could think the train is keeping the gates activated when, in fact, another train could be approaching on the lower track. A crew member on the ground will help to warn the public and prevent an incident from occurring.
