Day or Night Train Order and Block Signal Offices are specified as opening and closing at certain times, but it is frequently necessary to have them open at hours before or after the time,specified for operation, and trains will be governed by the signals at such points regardless of the time specified for operation.

All trains entering a block under permissive signal indication displayed at a Day and Night Block Signal Office will run under permissive signal indication to the next Day and Night Block Signal Office, regardless of a clear signal that may be displayed at intermediate Day or Night Block Signal Office except when the enginemen have positive information that the Day or Night Block Signal Office is actually in operation. If a stop signal is displayed trains will stop and ascertain cause.

 

TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS

Single track on the River Line between River Junction and C B Junction, (not including C B Junction) Allegany Division. Controlled by Train Dispatcher.

Westward track between W C Junction and R H. Eastward track between Steamburg and

R H, single track between R H and Waterboro. Controlled by Train Dispatcher.

Eastward and westward tracks between Waterboro and DV Tower, Falconer (not including DV Tower). Controlled by operator DV Tower and Train Dispatcher.

Eastward and westward tracks, (Old line and C.& E. Railroad, between C M Junction and N E Junction (not including N E Junction). Controlled by operator at N E Junction.

 

TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS--OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Controlled signals govern movement over the spring switches at the east end of "CB" Junction siding, west end of River Junction siding and east end of "CM" Junction passing siding, M.P. 11.84. The letter "S" illuminated, displayed on the westward controlled signal at "CB" Junction siding, eastward controlled signal at River Junction siding or westward controlled signal at C M Junction siding is authority to throw the switch by hand without verbal permission from the Dispatcher. After throwing the switch, movement will be governed by the indication which the controlled signal then displays.

When switching operation requires the use of this switch, the Dispatcher will cause the controlled signals to display "STOP." The permission then given by the Dispatcher is authority to disregard the signal indication within the limits specified and movements over the switch may be made on hand signals after ascertaining that the switch is properly lined for each movement. Before making such movements over the switch the engineman must be notified by the trainman that permission has been given by the Dispatcher so that he will be governed by hand signals and must also be notified when the work is completed, track clear and so reported to the Dispatcher so that he will then be governed by the signal indications.

2. A white light known as the "Maintainers Call Signal" is located on the instrument housing at west end of River Junction siding, at both end of Fillmore and Belfast sidings, east end of C B Junction siding, at eastward and westward home signals at W C Junction, just west of Bridge 1.49, at eastward and westward home signals at Steamburg, at Steamburg station, at eastward and westward home signals at R H, at east end of Randolph, on each side of instrument house and at Eastwood Home Signal Instrument case at Waterboro, at east end of C M Junction siding and at eastward and westward home signals C M Junction.

Train or engine crews working or standing in the vicinity and observing this signal lighted will immediately call the Dispatcher as this signal may be used on occasions to call train employees to the telephone.

3. When a train is stopped by a STOP signal and there is no evidence of an approaching train, member of crew will immediately get in touch with operator, or dispatcher.





4. A train or engine must not make a reverse movement after accepting a CONTROLLED signal for straight away movement, except under flag protection or when movemens are being made in accordance with Paragraph numbered 3.

5. In all other respects, Rules of the Operating Department, Effective Nov. 30, 1952, will govern.

 

 

 

TONNAGE RATINGS

33.22 just east of Van Deusen switch. Trains should be stopped west of this point to eliminate unnecessary operation of gates while switching or adjusting retainers.

Eastward trains, making a station stop at Gowanda to work, must stop west of white disc located on north side of track approximately eighty-five (85) feet west of Commercial Street Crossing and after one minute the gate will raise at Commercial St. When ready to depart train or engine will move past white disc and wait until gates have lowered before proceeding over crossing, unless flag protection is afforded.

Train or engines switching on main track in vicinity of Commercial St., must approach crossing prepared to stop, and not proceed over crossing except under flag protection, unless gates are lowered.

Short siding circuits extending approximately forty (40) feet each side of crossing have been installed.

Trains or engines operating on other than main track will stop before entering upon crossing and wait until gates are lowered before proceeding over crossing unless flag protection is afforded and highway traffic is stopped. White disc signs are located east and west of Commercial St. on south side of yard tracks to mark beginning of crossing protection circuits in tracks other than main track.

When cars are cut off, they must not occupy protection circuits.

Allegany Division

North Union Street, Olean

Starting circuit on eastward track is located at M.P. 395.60 and on westward track at M.P. 393.82. Eastbound trains will run at a speed not to exceed fifty (50) miles per hour between M.P. 395.60 and 394.42 and westbound trains will run at a speed not to exceed fifty (50) miles per hour between M.P. 393.82 and 394.70.

Operating circuits are arranged for fast and slow speeds. Trains or engines operating om main tracks passing starting circuits at a speed of twenty (20) miles per hour or less will not exceed twenty (20) miles per hour until crossing is reached.

Westbound passenger trains making station stop at Olean will stop back to clear sign reading "Station Stop" which is installed fifty (50) feet east of North Union Street. This will allow gates to rise after train has occupied track at station in excess of approximately one minute. When departing station, train will move past "Station Stop" sign and wait until gates lower before proceeding over crossing.

MISCELLANEOUS

Employes must observe passing trains, and if any hot journals, defective brakes, defective running gear, flat wheels, etc., are observed, trainmen will be notified by use of following code:
