Padlock should not be removed and throw lever for pole target signal operated under these conditions. With indicator light dark, trainmen may remove the padlock and when indicator in electric lock shows "UNLOCKED", tramp on treadle and throw the lever operating the pole target signal to horizontal position. After movement has been completed, the throw lever is to be operated to place the pole target signal in the vertical position and electric lock padlocked. When it is desired to operate the pole target signal with train approach indicator lighted, after the padlock is removed, pre-determined time interval must elapse before electric lock unlocks, which will be indicated by indicator in electric lock displaying "UNLOCKED". Pole target signal may then be operated to the horizontal position by throw lever and procedure as outlined above is to be followed.

AUSTINTOWN BRANCH over B. & O. R. R. near Ohio Works. Interlocked and operated manually by train crews. To cross over the B. & O. R. R. in either direction requires the following operation:

Shenango--Controls Shenango to but not including West end of Amasa Siding.

Amasa--Controls territory Amasa to and including West end of Amasa Siding.

Buchanan--Controls territory Buchanan to Amasa.

In the above mentioned territory, trains or engines will be governed by block signals whose indications will supersede the superiority of trains for both opposing and following movements on the same track.

1. When switching movements are to be made over switches that are signaled and equipped with power operated switch machines, an understanding must be had with the operator, who will advise working limits on main track and time in which switching may be done. When necessary to hand operate a power operated switch machine special instructions posted at the location will be followed.

2. When a train is delayed after a proceed signal has been displayed for it, the operator must be notified promptly as to the cause and probable duration of the delay.

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.

4. A train or engine must not make a reverse movement after accepting a CONTROLLED signal





-7-






for straight away movement, except under flag protection or when movements are being made in accordance with Paragraph numbered 3.

5. Trains stopped or delayed after passing a distant signal displaying "CLEAR" must approach the CONTROLLED signal expecting to find that signal displaying its most restrictive indication.

6. The controlled sidings at JOHNSONS, PYMATUNING, AMASA, ATLANTIC and STONY POINT are track circuited and protected by signals. All trains or engines entering these sidings will operate in accordance with the signal indication displayed at the entrance to the siding. All other sidings in traffic route control territory are not protected by signals between clearance points and trains and engines must move on these sidings expecting to find them occupied. The sidings at Stony Point may be used in either direction on signal indication.

7. When trains meet at JOHNSONS, AMASA, ATLANTIC or STONY POINT and it is not necessary to stop for opposing train, head light of train in siding will be dimmed instead of extinguished and opposing train may pass and be governed by signal indication.

8. Controlled signals govern movements over the spring switch east end of siding Leavittsburg (Second Sub-Division), the letter "S" illuminated, displayed on the westward controlled signal in authority to throw the switch without verbal permission from the operator. After throwing the switch, movement will be governed by the indication which the controlled signal then displays.

When switching operations require the use of this switch, the operator will cause the controlled signals to display "STOP." The permission then given by the operator is authority to disregard the signal indications within the limits specified, and movements over the switch may be made on hand signals after ascertaining that the twitch 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 operator 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 operator so that he will then be governed by the signal indications.

Special instructions governing operation over spring switches must be observed.

9. A white light known as "Maintainer’s Call Signal" is located on the instrument housing at east end Second Sub-Division Siding Leavittsburg, North Warren, Mile Post 161.4, westward home signal North Warren, MK Siding Mile Post 159.81 east and west end of siding at Johnsons, Eastward and Westward home signals and instrument house at Pymatuning, east end of siding Pymatuning, east and west end of sidings Atlantic, Stony Point and West End Siding Amasa, and opposite eastward home signal and instrument house west of Sharpsville Station.

Trains or engines may proceed on proper signal indication without regard to train or time table rights against opposing trains or following superior trains. It is forbidden to accept a 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 proscribed by Rule 99.

Should there be any failure in the proper working of signals governing single track at Sharon, Pa. or Gauntlet, Warren, Ohio, or when trains or engines are operating against current of traffic for movement through the single track or through the gauntlet, following instructions must be followed.

Communicate with Dispatcher through Operator, reporting signal in stop position. After receiving proper instructions to proceed all trains or engines will be required to flag through the single track at Sharon and Gauntlet at Warren, inspecting all facing point switches before proceeding and in addition a member of crew will remain on telephone and the head trainman, with proper flagging equipment, will proceed through single track or Gauntlet and after reaching telephone on opposite end of single track or Gauntlet, will communicate with member of crew on telephone that he is in position to afford proper flag protection and train may proceed.

Telephones are located in vicinity of signals both ends of single track and Gauntlet.

At Sharon for movement against the current of traffic, westward trains before proceeding will line the facing point switch west end of single track and eastward trains before proceeding will line the facing point switch east end of single track. These spring switches are to be left in their normal position upon completion of any and all movements through them. Any failures of signals or spring switches are to be reported promptly to the Superintendent.

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.

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.

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 or Night-Proceed signal.

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

 

Instructions Governing Dragging Equipment Detector Device

Automatic Signal 521-2 Mile Post 109.00 East of Geneva. This device when actuated by dragging equipment, a sign attached to Signal 519-2 located at Mile Post 107.23 will be illuminated displaying the letter "E." When letter "E" is displayed train must be stopped and inspected to locate dragging equipment and Operator at Buchanan must be notified. Actuation of dragging equipment device prevents Eastward Home Signal at Buchanan from clearing. Operator at Buchanan will restore after having been advised that dragging equipment has been removed.

 

MOVEMENT OF TRAINS

The only time a diesel locomotive can be considered as operating backward is when a multiple-unit road diesel is operating with a blind unit or blind end ahead.

When light movements are made with multiple unit diesel locomotives equipped with double end control, the locomotive must be operated from the end in the direction that the movement is being made.

Headlights on diesel locomotives in road service, freight and passenger, will be kept lighted when operated during daylight hours in order to give signalmen and other Maintenance of Way employees a better opportunity to observe approaching trains.

In multiple-unit operation of diesel locomotives, the locomotive number will be displayed on the lead unit only.

Diesel locomotives, 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.

 

AUTOMATIC TRAIN STOP

Instructions For Enginemen With Locomotives Equipped With Automatic Train Stop.

See Rules 520 to 520-B inclusive Rules of the Operating Department, Effective Nov. 30, 1952.

Locomotives now operating over Western District in through line service and in the Pittsburgh-Cleveland service are equipped with automatic train stop cut in.

Open inductors are now in service on engine dispatching tracks at Ferrona, Brier Hill and Cleveland.

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

To Place Equipment In Operation:

1. Have engines running with throttle in idle position.

2. See that cutout cock in BP valve pipe in in "IN" position and sealed.





-10-






3. Close switch that starts A. T. S. motor generator get.

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, when brakes can be released in the usual manner and power control (PC) switch must be reset manually on Electro-Motive locomotives.

 

Operation

Brakes are applied with an application valve which causes no movement of the brake valve handle or rotary; enginemen 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.

 

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 failure of automatic train stop apparatus on locomotives.

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

Speed warning whistle will sound at approximately 80 M. P. H. on passenger locomotives and approxlmately 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 83 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.

 

Governor Check Light

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)

Each engineman’s station in the operating cab of Road locomotives equipped with a foot pedal operated safety control, 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 41/2 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 affected.

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.

 

TONNAGE RATINGS

Train tonnage will be determined by Chief Train Dispatcher.

Trains will be given maximum rating unless otherwise directed.
