"Take Siding" Signals--When letter "S" is displayed, freight trains will take siding and consult dispatcher on telephone. When letter "S" is not displayed, trains will proceed regardless of following superior trains until otherwise directed by dispatcher. Passenger trains will report before pulling in siding.

Rule 509-d, paragraph "b" is amplified as follows:

When Telephone Train Order Signals are set at 45 degrees above horizontal or yellow light, indicating that the train should take siding and siding cannot be used making it necessary to back the train over to the opposite track, this signal may be passed without first bringing the train to a stop and may proceed at restricted speed until the rear end of train clears the crossover. After permission has been received from the Train Dispatcher or Signalman in charge, the train may back over to the opposite track protecting the movement as prescribed by Rule 99.

MISCELLANEOUS

When a car is set out of a train at any point on account of a hot journal, trainmen will extinguish fire before leaving the car.

WIRE CLEARANCES

The clear space between the lowest signal line conductor and the surface of the track rails at the follow locations is less than 27 feet. Employees must not ride on top of freight cars at these locations.

AUTOMATIC TRAIN CONTROL.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENGINEMEN WITH ENGINES EQUIPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRAIN CONTROL OVER DISTRICTS NOT EQUIPED

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 engineman, 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 actuator 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 cut-out 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 actuator 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, Engineman will proceed without cutting out automatic train control.

DEFECTS OR FAILURE OF APPARATUS

These shall be reported on regular Engineer’s defect Form 5322 A. Improper applications at clear signals or other points should be reported at first telegraph office.

OPEN INDUCTORS

Passenger engines are now operating over the Western District in through line passenger service with the automatic train control cut in.

Open inductors are now in service on engine dispatching tracks at Salamance, Meadville, Brier Hill, Kent and Marion.

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