on determinations made by another railroad concerning that person's 

qualifications. The railroad's certification program shall address how 

the railroad will administer the training of previously uncertified 

engineers with extensive operating experience or previously certified 

engineers who have had their certification expire. If a railroad's 

certification program fails to specify how to train a previously 

certified engineer hired from another railroad, then the railroad shall 

require the newly hired engineer to take the hiring railroad's entire 

training program. A railroad relying on another's certification shall 

determine that:

    (1) The prior certification is still valid in accordance with the 

provisions of Sec. Sec. 240.201, 240.217, and 240.307;

    (2) The prior certification was for the same classification of 

locomotive or train service as the certification being issued under this 

section;

    (3) The person has received training on and visually observed the 

physical characteristics of the new territory in accordance with Sec. 

240.123;

    (4) The person has demonstrated the necessary knowledge concerning 

the railroad's operating rules in accordance with Sec. 240.125;

    (5) The person has demonstrated the necessary performance skills 

concerning the railroad's operating rules in accordance with Sec. 

240.127.

    (b) [Reserved]
