RULE 93-A.

Movements may be made against the current of traffic through the following yard limits by train orders, and further protection under Rule 93-A need not be afforded west of WX Tower, Port Jervis yard.

 

"SPRING SWITCHES"

Switches at west end of "CO", westward siding, Callicoon and Bridge No. 1 at Susquehanna Yard are equipped with spring stands, set normal for main track movement. Trains or engines may pull out of these sidings to main track without opening or closing switch by hand, except at Bridge No. 1, Susquehanna Yard, at which point employes receiving permission to westward main track at pull out from westward yard, will open spring switch by hand and leave open until engine or train has entered circuit, on yard lead, then close sping switch by hand and proceed through switch.

Caution must be taken to prevent backup movement, 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 opened by hand.

When switching over these switches they must be hand operated.

The spring switches are protected by Dwarf signals for trains operating against current of traffic as follows:

Clear indication, proceed over spring switch, approach 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.

Trains moving against current of traffic on clear indication will proceed over spring switches not to exceed 20 miles per hour.

 

MOVEMENTS NOT PROVIDED BY TIME TABLE.

In double track territory, between Susquehanna and Port Jervis, extra trains, except passenger extras, will proceed without train orders.

Eastward freight trains when in the time of westward passenger trains, must regulate the speed or if necessary stop so that engine will not be on Starrucca Viaduct, bridge 189.46, east of Lanesboro, while passenger trains are passing over same.

While engines of K, N, R and S class are using one track of Starrucca viaduct bridge 189.46 east of





Lanesboro, no other engine of these classes will be allowed on opposite track on viaduct.

 

 

TRAFFIC ROUTE CONTROL DISTRICTS.

Eastward and westward tracks between TU Tusten and BQ Lackawaxen, also westward track between JA Lanesboro and GF Gulf Summit are equipped with Traffic Route Control. Trains and engines may proceed on proper signal indications without regard to train or time table rights against opposing trains or following superior trains, as per Rule D-261 Rules of the Operating Department. It is forbidden to accept the proceed indication if there is any known cause that will prevent making usual running time. When a train accepts the proceed indication and for any cause is unable to make usual running time the train must be protected as prescribed by Rule 99.

 

RULES GOVERNING MANUAL AND CONTROLLED MANUAL BLOCK SYSTEMS, AUTOMATIC BLOCK SYSTEMS AND INTERLOCKING.

Effective July 1, 1930

Between Susquehanna and Port Jervis automatic block signal rules will govern.

Trains operating in Automatic Block Signal Districts governed by Telephone Train Order Signals may run with the current of traffic, upon signal indication, which signal indication supersedes timetable superiority, as per Rule D-251, Rules of the Operating Department.

1.

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

2.

Dead in freight train.

3.

When train control device fails between terminals, seal will be broken on cut out cock, train control 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 Superintendent as to extra precautions to be taken to safeguard movement.

All defects in the apparatus must be reported on regular work Form 1404.

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENGINEMEN

STARTING UP

To latch up Actuator and Brake Valve Rotary: First, Headlight generator must be running; second, main reservoir must be pumped up; third, reset button must be depressed for two seconds; fourth, brake valve handle must be moved to full service position, thus latching up handle to rotary valve.

 

ACTUATOR

The Actuator is controlled automatically. The rotary in the brake valve moves to service position only when an automatic application is received, but the brake handle does not move. The enginemen, however, can manually go from service to emergency. When an automatic application has been received, the





train will come to a stop. It will then be necessary for the engineer to get down from the engine and press the reset button located on the right hand side of tender frame, for two seconds, and release. This will reset the system and indicator on top of actuary will again go to the reset position, arrow pointing to "R".

It is then possible for the engineer to relatch the brake valve handle with the rotary valve by moving the brake valve handle to the service position, which is the relatching position. He can then put the brake valve in any position desired.

 

 

BROKEN AIR PIPES

If pipe on actuator cylinder is 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 connected under left-hand actuator cylinder and is only to be used in case of failure of apparatus to admit air to left-hand actuary cylinder. This cuts in train control when in the horizontal position of handle. To cut out control raise handle.

 

LIGHT DEFECT

With train control 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, enginemen will proceed without cutting out automatic train control.

 

DEFECTS OR FAILURE OF APPARATUS

These shall be reported on regular engineer’s defect form. Improper applications at clear signals or other points should be reported at first telegraph office.
