"THE APPLICATOR WILL BE USING A MIX OF AQUANEAT, ESPLANADE 200 SC, MILESTONE, AND SPYDER OR OUST XP WITH AN ANTI- DRIFT ADDITIVE IN WATER FOR THE CONTROL OF WEEDS AND GRASS. BEGINNING ON OR ABOUT JULY 1ST, AREAS CLOSE TO STREAMS AND STANDING WATER WHICH WERE NOT SPRAYED ON THE FIRST APPLICATION, WILL BE SPOT TREATED WITH AQUANEAT WITH AN ANTI-DRIFT ADDITIVE IN WATER."

Aquaneat's prime ingredient is glysophate, which is the same ingredient Roundup uses, and I suspect the railroads use spray with Glysophate in it. The other ones mentioned here are pre emergent types.
As far as runoff on crops, these days many crops like soybeans and the like are GMO, and they are made to be immune to glysophate, farmers then can use glysophate to control weeds while not harming their crops (whether that is safe is another story, not relevant here).
