If the crossing includes multiple tracks with different maximum authorized speed limits, the track with the highest authorized maximum speed limit shall be used to determine the unobstructed view under this subdivision.
(2) If the crossing is equipped with a train-activated warning device, two hundred fifty (250) feet.
(b) If a railroad is unable to provide or maintain an unobstructed view under subsection (a) due to a variance in terrain, elevation, track curvature, rolling stock, or permanent improvements at or near the public rail-highway grade crossing, the railroad shall provide and maintain an unobstructed view in each quadrant of the public rail-highway grade crossing to the furthest achievable unobstructed view.
