Hint 11

Rule 316

Front 12

Slow Approach

Back 12

Proceed prepared to stop at the next signal. Slow Speed applies until entire train clears all interlocking, controlled point or spring switches, then Medium Speed applies.

Hint 12

Rule 317

Front 13

Restricting

Back 13

Proceed at Restricted Speed until the entire train has cleared all interlocking, controlled point and spring switches (if signal is an interlocking or controlled point signal) and the leading end has:

1. Passed a more favorable fixed signal, or

2. Entered Rule 171 Territory.

In CSS territory, trains with operative cab signals must not increase speed until the train has run one train length past a location where a more favorable cab signal was received.

Hint 13
