Does anyone know if Chapter 8, Section 2.1.5 AREMA has ben updated recently? I have a copy of 2015. Before I spend $1400, I would like to see if any updates were made. I'm looking to see if the crash wall requirements have changed-

Crashwalls for single column piers shall be minimum 2’-6” thick and shall extend a minimum of 6’-0” above the top
of high rail for piers located between 18’-0” and 25’-0” from the centerline of the nearest track. The wall shall extend
minimum 6’-0” beyond the column on each side in the direction parallel to the track.

Thanks.

AREMA indicates that Section 2.1.5 was updated with the 2019 edition.

Instead of buying the entire manual you can just purchase the chapter you need for $290 (non-member price)
