Ellicott St., Batavia.

N. Y. C. R. R. Crossing. NO SIGNAL CONTROLLING. After coming to full stop, trains will proceed on Erie R. R., providing the route is seen to be clear.

 

Erwins Crossing.

Should home signal at crossing indicate STOP without apparent cause, trainman will proceed as follows:

1. Go to crossing and determine whether train is approaching on intersecting track. If so, his train must wait until the other crosses, when signal will clear. If no train is approaching on intersecting track he will then:

2. Enter concrete house, unlocking switch lock on door.

3. If, when first entering concrete house, it is noted that any of the three switches have been left in the OFF position, these should be placed upward (ON position), which may permit signal to clear for train that has been stopped.

4. Telephone Lackawanna dispatcher, advising him of conditions. If unable to communicate with dispatcher report should be made at first open telegraph office.

5. Pull lever of switch representing track on which train stands (for example D. L. & W. EASTWARD TRACK) downward to OFF position. This will set all conflicting signals at STOP.

6. Note that lamp located directly above switch that has been pulled displays a red light. This shows that conflicting signals indicate STOP.

If the red lamp fails to light after switch lever has been pulled downward, full flag protection





8



must be provided in both directions on conflicting tracks before train moves over crossing.

7. After three minutes wait go to crossing and if no train is approaching on conflicting track, give hand signal for train to proceed. Engineman will accept hand signal and proceed in accordance with rule 663 except that clearance form B will not be used.

8. After train has reached crossing, trainman will return lever of switch upward to ON position, lock the door and board his train.

The following rule governs train movement into interchange track.

Communicate with dispatcher and secure authority for entering foreign road. Do not enter interchange track until both entering and leaving switches have been opened. This movement should be made on hand signals. It is not necessary to operate switches in concrete house for movements over interchange track.

 

CROSSOVER MOVEMENTS.

When necessary to enter upon main tracks or cross over from one main track to another, permission will first be obtained, except in Black Rock Yard and Buffalo yard D. L. & W. interchange to JU crossover. Before opening switches to occupy crossover between North Yard and eastward main track at Bailey Avenue permission must first be secured from operator at IQ Tower. This does not relieve enginemen and trainmen from protecting the movement as per Rule 99.

Permission to use main tracks or crossovers operated by interlocking plants will be given by signal indications.

 

Susp. Bridge Yard

Eastward Movements--Signalman at Tower 65 will report all eastward movements to Operator at "JH", and no movement will be permitted on main track or running track without obtaining permission from Operator at "JH". Eastward trains or engines receiving proceed signal indication at Tower 65, will be authorized to proceed on the route indicated without further permission.

Westward Movements--Westward trains will proceed into Susp. Bridge Yard at Cedar Ave. and will not depart "JH" until permission is received from Operator at "JH".

Crossover Movements--Permission must be obtained from Operator at "JH" before using crossover switches at North Avenue.

The above does not supercede Rule 93.

 

W M Junction

For movement through crossover from extension track to eastward main track, call operator at "IQ" Tower for permission to reverse switches, movement will then be made on signal indication.

 

Attica Branch--Attica

Eastward trains from Attica Branch secure permission to crossover or enter Buffalo Division main track, then open switches and allow five (5) minutes to elapse before crossing over or fouling Buffalo Division main tracks.





Westward trains for Attica Branch secure permission to crossover, then open east switch and allow five (5) minutes to elapse before crossing over, or fouling westward main track.

This does not supercede Rule 99.

 

 

 

 

Painted Post

1.

Communicate with Susquehanna Division Train Dispatcher by telephone which is located in booth in vicinity of crossover, secure permission to cross over and advice as to whether first class trains that are overdue have passed, then observe position of the indicator, which is located in booth, to know whether or not trains are approaching from either direction.

2.

After securing permission to use crossover, carefully observe whether a train is approaching from either direction, if not, open crossover from east to west, allowing two minutes to elapse, then open Rochester Division switch and proceed to eastward track without stop until entire train is on eastward track, then close switches from the west to the east.

This does not supersede Rule 99.

SPRING SWITCHES.

Spring switches are located East and West end Portage Bridge, International Jct., East end of extension track W M Junction, F W Tower and at east end of old main track, west of J U Crossover. Caution must be taken to prevent back up movements, slack running out of trains or taking slack over spring switches before forward movement is completed. If necessary to make such movements switches must be handled by hand. When switching over these switches they must be hand operated.

The spring switches at International Jct., and W M Junction are protected by dwarf signals for trains operating against current of traffic as follows:

Clear indication proceed over switch.

Restricting indication proceed to point of switch then stop, examine points of switch and make sure points are properly set before proceeding. If found out of order, use hand throw switch and restore to normal position after using and immediately report same to the Superintendent. The spring switches at Portage are protected by color light type dwarf sugnals for governing reverse movements are located opposite automatic signal 363-2B for eastward movement and opposite automatic signal 359-1B for westward movement.

Day or Night Train Order and Block 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 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 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.

 

POSITION LIGHT TELEPHONE TRAIN ORDER SIGNAL

A position light unit attached to pole below upper unit.

When position light telephone train order signals are in service Rules 509b, 509c and 509d will be observed the same as where other types of signals are in use.

 

RATING FOR ORDINARY TRAINS.

Train tonnage will be determined by the Chief Train Dispatcher. Trains will be given maximum rating unless otherwise directed.

 

RULE 33 OF "RULES FOR THE OPERATION AND SUPERVISION OF AIR BRAKE, TRAIN AIR SIGNAL, STEAM HEAT EQUIPMENT AND CAR LIGHTING SYSTEMS, EFFECTIVE, JAN. 1, 1943," AND AMENDMENTS THERETO:

Passenger trains will make running test of air brakes before descending grades at following points:

EASTWARD. At M.P. 395, East of Griswolds, if train does not stop at station.

At M.P. 364, east of Castile, if train does not stop at station.

WESTWARD. At M.P. 387 west of Linden, if train does not stop at station.

 

MISCELLANEOUS

Diesel engines, Motor Cars and Roller Bearing equipped freight and passenger cars must not be operated in water that is higher than underside of ball of rail.

"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:

HOT JOURNALS.

By day - Hold nose with first finger and thumb of right hand and point down toward track with left hand.

By night - Hold lantern in hand by the guard wires around the globe and swing in small vertical circle.




11




CONNECTIONS DRAGGING.

By day or night - Give stop signal.

CAR DOOR SWINGING OR ABOUT TO FALL.

By day - Raise hand above head and hold it stationary.

By night - Same signal with lantern, in addition give stop signal.

BRAKES STICKING.

By day - Shove hand in sliding movement from body.

By night - Same signal with lantern, in addition give stop signal.

FLAT WHEELS.

By day - Place palms of both hands together in horizontal position.

By night - Hold lantern at arm’s length with globe in horizontal position.

ALL CLEAR.

By day - Proceed signal.

Care will be taken that the above signals are not used with passing trains, as sign of greeting."

Powdered Chemical known as "DU-GAS" for extinguishing fires in hot boxes of freight cars has been distributed to engines and cabooses (except yard engines and yard cabooses). Following instructions will govern use of same: "Throw half of the powder from tube directly on blaze and close box lid. Wait one minute, then open box, distribute remainder of powder over hot journal and close box lid. This prevents dope from taking fire again after car is set out. Car Must Be Set Out After Powder Has Been Used. Important - Box lid must be closed tight after powder is applied." In the event there is none of this powdered chemical available and it is necessary to set a car or cars out of a train on account of a hot box, dope is to be entirely removed from journal box and fire extinguished and dope left some distance away from the car so in case it should again ignite, it will not set fire to the car. Lid of journal box should be closed so that journal will cool slowly in order not to result in checks and cracks in axle.

Locomotive cranes operating under their own power will remain standing when a train is passing on adjacent track.

Two "S" Type, FE-13, FE-15, FA-15, PE-15, PA-20 (800 Series) engines will not pass one another on tracks 10 to 19 inclusive, Hornell Westbound Old Yard.

All class engines are restricted from using A. & A. R. R. wye tracks at Attica, N. Y., also the two main tracks within the wye.

All engines are restricted from using Back Track inside building at Westinghouse Mfg. Co., Attica.

PORTAGE

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION IN EVENT SIGNALS FAIL TO CLEAR ON APPROACH OF TRAINS.

A. If there is no evidence of approaching train communicate by telephone with River Jct. (NT) or Dispatcher and after receiving permission operate the switch key controller located adjacent to signal governing the movement to be made, by inserting switch key in opening, turning clockwise and hold for ten (10) seconds and then remove key. Then wait four (4) minutes and fifteen (15) seconds, and when signal then clears train may proceed.

B. If the signal does not then clear for the movement a member of the crew should first observe the indication displayed by the spring switch signals. In the event either of these signals displays Stop indication the spring switch must be inspected and operated by hand. After operating either spring switch by hand and the spring switch signal does not then indicate green and the signal for movement fails to indicate proceed communicate further with River Jct. (NT) or Dispatcher for further instructions and report switch to Superintendent.

C. In the event a train is stopped before reaching home signal displaying proceed aspect for the movement and for some reason may be unable to proceed at once, Dispatcher must be notified of conditions, and if found necessary indication may be annulled by operating push-button located on side of controller to permit another approaching train to proceed.

AUTOMATIC MANUAL CONTROLS TO OPERATE FLASHER SIGNALS ARE LOCATED AT THE FOLLOWING POINTS TO ELIMINATE THE UNNECESSARY OPERATION OF HIGHWAY FLASHER SIGNALS DURING SWITCHING OPERATIONS:

Silver Springs--Perry Avenue-Main St. Crossings.

Auto-manual Controlled panel consisting of "Cut-out" and "Restore" push-button and an indicator light for each main track is located in Main Street Crossing Cabin and will be operated by Crossing Watchman between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM daily, and by member of crew between the hours of 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM daily, when switching operations are in progress.

When either eastward or westward main tracks east of Main Street are blocked with cars, "Cut-out" button for track blocked should be used. When tracks are cleared of cars and then blocked again, it will be necessary to operate "Cut-out" button and repeat after each similar operation.

"Restore" button should be operated upon the approach of a through train or when train switching is ready to depart from Silver Springs.

 

Attica--Exchange Street Crossing

Auto-manual Controllers on posts, identified by "End of flasher cut-out circuit" sign, are in service at following locations:

Eastward Track--300 feet west of Exchange Street Crossing on south side of track. Controls section of eastward main track from "End of flasher cut-out circuit" sign to West Ave. Crossing.

Westward Track--20 feet east of Signal 392-1, north side of Attica Branch connection. Controls section of westward main track from "End of flasher cut-out circuit" sign for a distance of 2000 feet east.

Operation of Auto-Manual Controller--When trains or cars of switching movement are standing on the above described section of tracks, member of crew will operate "controller" by placing switch key in place provided, turn key to right to stop position, hold 5 seconds and remove key. Each time all cars are cleared from controlled section of track and then returned, key operation must be repeated. Crossing protection may be restored at any time by pressing button, located under hood on side of controller, hold 5 seconds and release.

 

Niagara Falls--Hyde Park Crossing

Auto-manual Controller is located on post identified by "Entrance to Circuit" sign on south side of track 2,000 feet east of Hyde Park Crossing and controlls flashers during switching operations at Niagara Junction.

Westward trains making switch movements into flasher circuit by passing "Entrance to Circuit" sign, will start flashers at Hyde Park Blvd. Flashing will be stopped by placing switch key in place provided marked "Cut-out", turn key to the right to stop position, hold for 5 seconds and remove key. Circuit will be cleared each time movement is made east of "Entrance to Circuit" sign when no cars or engines are in circuit. When circuit is re-entered, Controller will again be operated as above.





After train is ready to proceed west and in the circuit with Highway flashers cut out, before starting train, operation of flashers will be resumed by moving lever on Controller marked "Restore" to the right to stop position and hold same for 5 seconds in that position. Then release.

When necessary to back eastward trains that have passed "Entrance to Circuit" sign, into the circuit, cut out on controller will be operated as above.

Crossing gates at South Street and Niagara Avenue, Niagara Falls, N. Y. are controlled from Cleveland St., 24 hours daily. It must be known that the gates are down before crossing these crossings with cars, train or engine. The running track and siding derails located west of Michigan Ave. must not be placed in derailing position after each train movement. Operators at "JH" must notify gateman at Cleveland Street via telephone of train movements over these crossing in both directions.

GENERAL RAILWAY SIGNAL AUTOMATIC TRAIN STOP--SCHEDULE 2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENGINEMEN WITH LOCOMOTIVES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRAIN STOP

Open inductors are in service on engine dispatching tracks at Buffalo, Avon, Corning, Elmira, also on south rail at Painted Post, Rochester Division.

Enginemen are required to take brake application passing over the first of these inductors and to acknowledge passing over the other.

Engines not equipped with Automatic Train Stop, or with such device not in working order, will not be handled over train stop territory except under following restrictions:

1.

Double-headed behind an engine, the train stop device of which is in working order.

2.

Dead, in freight train.





3.

When train stop device fails between terminals seal will be broken on cutout cock, train stop device cut out, and report will be made to Superintendent at first point of communication and train will proceed in accordance with instructions received. In the event prevailing weather conditions interfere with

 

visibility of signals, trains will proceed under caution from point where device fails to point of communication with Superintendent.

4.

Crews of engines of foreign lines handling detoured trains between points intermediate to division terminals, under protection of Erie pilot will be governed by instructions of

 

 

TO PLACE EQUIPMENT IN OPERATION

STEAM:

1.

Headlight generator must be running.

2.

Main reservoir must be pumped up.

3.

Reset button must be depressed for two seconds.

4.

Brake valve must be moved to full service position to latch up handle to rotary valve.

DIESEL:

1.

Have Diesel engines running with throttle in idle position.

2.

See that cutout cock in EP valve pipe is in "IN" position and sealed.

3.

Close switch that starts A.T.S. motor generator set.

4.

Operate acknowledging lever to full acknowledging position and hold for two seconds. Governor check light will light when A.T.S. is reset.

5.

Place brake valve handle in lap position until application pressure (AP) is equal to main reservoir pressure or nearly so, then brakes can be released in the usual manner and power control (PC) switch must be reset manually on Electro-Motive locomotives.

 

OPERATION

STEAM:

The actuator moves the rotary in the brake valve to service position only when A.T.S. application occurs, but the brake valve handle does not move. The engineman can manually go from service position to emergency position. When an A.T.S. application has been received, the train will come to a stop and it will be necessary for the engineman to press the reset button located on the right side of the tender frame for two seconds; this will reset the system and indicator on top of the actuator will again go to the reset position, arrow pointing to "R".

Brake valve handle can then be relatched with the rotary by moving the handle to service position; after relatching brake valve can be moved to any position desired.

 

DIESEL:

Brakes are applied with an application valve which causes no movement of the brake valve handle or rotary; engineman can obtain an emergency application in the usual way after receiving an A.T.S. application but brakes cannot be released until train comes to a stop.





14



To release brakes, it is necessary to pull acknowledger handle all the way over for about two seconds; the check light will then light and brake valve must be moved to lap position until Application Pressure (AP) builds up, then brakes can be released in the usual way and PC switch must be reset manually on Electro-Motive locomotives.

 

BROKEN AIR PIPES

STEAM:

If pipe on actuator cylinder ia broken or leaking, plug it. It will then be necessary to break seal and raise seal cock handle to cutout position.

When air pipe to whistle valve breaks, same should be plugged, and train control not cut out.

 

ACKNOWLEDGING CONTACTOR

When required to acknowledge, acknowledger handle must be pulled down before passing a signal displaying other than "Proceed." If held down more than fifteen seconds, an automatic application will result.

Acknowledger handle must be released when whistle stops blowing or inductor has been passed.

Failure of acknowledging whistle to blow while acknowledging should be reported on form 5322-A.

Enginemen must not acknowledge until after signal indication has been observed and is being obeyed.

 

CONTROL CUTOUT COCK

This is to be used only in case of a failure of automatic train stop apparatus on locomotive.

STEAM:

This is under left hand actuator cylinder and when handle is in horizontal position the apparatus is cut in and when raised to the vertical position it is cut out.

DIESEL:

This is in the "EP" valve pipe in the nose of the locomotive and seal must be broken and handle turned to "out" position to cut the apparatus out.

 

OVER SPEED GOVERNOR

DIESEL:

Speed warning whistle will sound at approximately 86 M.P.H. on passenger locomotives and approximately 62 M.P.H. on freight locomotives and will continue to sound until speed is reduced below that value.

An over-speed brake application will occur at approximately 89 M.P.H. on passenger and approximately 65 M.P.H. on freight locomotives and can be released by placing the throttle in idle position, the brake handle in lap until the application valve in the brake system is reset.

Operation of acknowledger handle is not required after an overspeed brake application but "PC" switch must be reset manually on Electro-Motive locomotives before throttle is opened.

 

LIGHT DEFECTS

STEAM:

When Automatic Train Stop is in service and a short occurs on the light circuit, it causes a





drop in voltage until fuse on light circuit is blown, which, as a rule, will cause an application of the brakes. If such occurs, enginemen will push reset button, which will develop the condition of generator and automatic stop circuit, and if both prove to be in working condition, engineman will proceed without cutting out automatic train control.

 

GOVERNOR CHECK LIGHT

DIESEL:

This light is provided to indicate that automatic train stop is reset and only burns while locomotive is standing and goes out soon after locomotive starts to move.

 

DEFECTS OR FAILURE OF APPARATUS

These shall be reported on regular engineer’s defect form 5322-A immediately upon arrival at terminal. Improper applications at clear signals or other point should be reported at first telegraph office.

 

SAFETY CONTROL (DEAD MAN)

DIESEL:

Each engineman’s station in the operating cab of Diesel road locomotives is equipped with a foot pedal operated safety control. This feature is connected in with application portion of brake valve.

When brakes are applied, either automatic or straight air, so that brake cylinder pressure is in excess of 35 lbs., the safety control feature is suppressed and then only can foot be removed from foot pedal.

In normal operation, the foot pedal must be depressed at all times the engine is in service. Should engineman’s foot slip off or should he be incapacitated and unable to depress the foot pedal, a warning whistle immediately sounds for approximately 4 1/2 seconds and if the foot pedal is not again depressed within this time, the application portion of the brake valve operates and an automatic brake application is effected.

At the start of an Automatic Train Stop, Over Speed Governor, Safety Control or Emergency Brake Application, the power control (PC) switch opens which in turn moves all Diesel engine governors to idle position, shuts off fuel pumps and removes all power from the traction motors and power cannot again be applied after a Safety Control application until foot pedal has been depressed and Automatic Brake Valve handle moved to lap position and application pressure nearly equals main reservoir pressure, then "PC" switch must be reset manually on Electro-Motive locomotives, then brakes can be released in the usual manner.

It is absolutely forbidden to nullify the operation of this Safety Control Equipment in any way except when it becomes defective enroute then it should be cut out at the regular cutout cock and reported at the next terminal.
