This document is a Railroad Reimbursement Master Agreement for Grade Crossing Protective Devices between the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Seaboard Coast Line Railroad Company, a corporation organized under the laws of Virginia with its principal place of business in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. The agreement was executed on August 7, 1972 and involves collaborative efforts for highway system projects that require installation and adjustment of automatic grade crossing signals and other protective devices.

The agreement outlines the parties' responsibilities for installing, maintaining, and funding grade crossing protective devices across the state highway system. The Department of Transportation will bear costs for temporary and permanent changes to signal wire lines and facilities, while the Railroad Company will furnish materials and install automatic grade crossing signals on an actual cost basis. A schedule of annual maintenance costs is provided, ranging from $650 to $1,230 depending on the class of crossing (e.g., flashing signals for one or multiple tracks, with or without gates). The contract includes provisions for reimbursement, cost allocation, billing procedures, and mutual indemnification, with work to be performed in accordance with federal and state transportation guidelines and procedures.
