Brake valve handle 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 enginemen 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 hand side of 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.

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 is broken or leaking, plug it. It will then be necessary to break seal and raise cutout cock handle to cutout position.

When air pipe to whistle valve breaks, same should be plugged and automatic train stop 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 DEFECT

STEAM:

When automatic train stop 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, engineman 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 points 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 4½ 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 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.
