property are reported as trespassers.
Nontrespassers are persons lawfully on that part of railroad property
that is used in railroad operation (other than defined as employees,
passengers, trespassers, volunteers, or contractor employees), and persons
adjacent to railroad premises when they are injured as the result of the
operation of a railroad.
"Other" includes employees not on duty, nontrespassers off
railroad property, and volunteers or contractors who are not engaged in
either the operation of on-track equipment or any other safety-sensitive
function for the railroad.
