Front 17

Under Manual interlockings: What is the exception to the stop indication rule?

Back 17

When the control operator has stopped a conflicting movement, he may then authorize another train to proceed, advising both trains of movements to be made.

Back 18

Control operator MUST authorize the train to enter the track where no governing signal exists. Verify there are no conflicting movements.

Front 19

Entering signaled track at hand-operated or spring switches. Within ABS territory you must do what to get on main track?

Crew member must open switch and wait 5 minutes at the switch to establish block protection.

Front 20

What are the steps for hand-operation of a dual controlled switch?

Back 20

-unlock the switch lock - place selector lever in HAND position- operate the hand throw lever, - line the switch for intended route, - return the switch to power

Front 21

9.13 what must be done if he dual control switch can not be operated or does not indicate that the switch is lined and locked?

Dispatcher must authorize movement past the stop indication and instruct the employee to operate the switch by hand.

Front 22

Back 22

After at least one unit or car has passed over the switch points. Unless otherwise instructed by the dispatcher.

Front 23

Initiating movement between signals. Move at restricted speed until the leading wheels have passed the next governing signals when?

Back 23

The train enters a block with no governing signal, the previous signal indication is unknown, movements in the opposite direction from which the block was entered.

Front 24

When communication has failed the seal of an electrically locked switch may be broken and the release operated to?

Back 24

permit a train to leave the main track, or, permit a train that has authority to enter main track. Train must not enter main track until 5 minutes after the seal is broken.

Front 25

When can a track bulletin be issued to trains when they are suspending the block system?

Back 25

Not until the affected territory is clear of trains, or until the track bulletin has been transmitted or delivered to all trains within the limits.
