Modeling Information
All grass, weeds, and brush on the right-of-way should be cut about July 1, or before the seeding time of the plants. All cut material should be burned as soon as dry. It may be raked into piles and burned or burned by dragging over it a piece of oil-soaked burning waste at the end of a wire. Several railways mow the right-of-way before July 1, and again in August or September.
See Circular 8.7 Weed Sprayer Operations for more information.
The WWSL
The Station Agent will identify the need for MOW weed spraying operations. The agent will coordinate MOW movement with the Dispatcher.

For those areas requiring weed burning, the MOW department has a weed burner and a tank car for water.
