Sec. 240.225  Reliance on qualification determinations made by other railroads.

    (a) After December 31, 1991, a railroad that is considering 
certification of a person as a qualified engineer may rely on 
determinations made by another railroad concerning that person's 
qualifications. The railroad's certification program shall address how 
the railroad will administer the training of previously uncertified 
engineers with extensive operating experience or previously certified 
engineers who have had their certification expire. If a railroad's 
certification program fails to specify how to train a previously 
certified engineer hired from another railroad, then the railroad shall 
require the newly hired engineer to take the hiring railroad's entire 
training program. A railroad relying on another's certification shall 
determine that:
    (1) The prior certification is still valid in accordance with the 
provisions of Secs. 240.201, 240.217, and 240.307;
    (2) The prior certification was for the same classification of 
locomotive or train service as the certification being issued under this 
section;
    (3) The person has received training on and visually observed the 
physical characteristics of the new territory in accordance with 
Sec. 240.123;
    (4) The person has demonstrated the necessary knowledge concerning 
the railroad's operating rules in accordance with Sec. 240.125;
