Well, there are insular steam-powered railroads that the FRA does not have jurisdiction over.
That's interesting, where would those be?
I'm fairly certain PRR #643 at Williams Grove, PA falls only under PA state jurisdiction so they do not have to necessarily comply with FRA regulations. I could be wrong though.
Do they haul passengers, and cross roads?
They haul passengers I'd say about 10 times a year if even that. They do have a couple public crossings as well.
