For filming in and around railways

For clients shooting commercials, TV shows, videos, and films in and around railroads, Railroad Protective Liability Insurance (RPLI) is critical to protect film production companies and their crews. As part of our full spectrum of insurance coverage, you can add RPLI to our General Liability policy. Railroads contractually require this coverage to ensure that, if something goes awry, they will not be held responsible for damages or injuries caused by the filming operations.
