Westchester Casualty - Railroad Liabilty

ABOUT THIS COVERAGE

Tracks^SM Railroad liability insurance provides coverage for damages resulting from covered perils, and is designed to protect railroad operations and railroad contractors.

A contractors’ general liability policy is not sufficient to address the unique set of risks that construction projects built alongside or over a railroad tend to carry. In fact, CGL policies typically exclude the contractor’s work within 50 feet of a railroad. Therefore, railroad operators will require the contractor(s) to provide a Railroad Protective Policy in addition to all other insurance requirements.

Coverage:

Railroad liability claims made and occurrence forms including Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA), foreign rolling stock, and bill of lading coverage
General liability with tailored coverages for railroad contractors
Railroad protective liability (ISO) filed forms may be available
Excursion railroad liability occurrence coverage, with tailored coverages for unique exposures
