This document is a Railroad Reimbursement Master Agreement for Grade Crossing Protective Devices between the State of Florida Department of Transportation and the 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 the 7th day of August, 1972, and involves collaboration on highway system projects that require installation and adjustment of automatic grade crossing signals and other protective devices.

The agreement outlines the terms for the installation, maintenance, and cost-sharing of railroad crossing protective devices across the state highway system. The parties agree that the Department will bear costs for temporary and permanent changes to signal and wire line facilities, while the Railroad Company will install and adjust necessary facility parts. A detailed schedule of annual maintenance costs is provided, ranging from $650 to $1,230 depending on the crossing device class (covering scenarios like flashing signals for single and multiple tracks, and flashing signals with gates). The contract includes provisions for billing, cost allocation, salvage credits, and requires the Railroad Company to provide detailed final billing within 120 days of project completion, with all costs subject to audit by the Department.
