in operation, trains and engines must come to a full stop not less than 200 feet nor more than 800 feet from railroad crossings at grade in Ohio and not less than 40 feet nor more than 500 feet from railroad crossings at grade in Indiana.

 

 

 

CROSSOVER MOVEMENTS.

When necessary to enter upon main track or cross over from one main track to another, permission will first be obtained except in Marion and Hammond yards, crossovers between lead and westward main track Market Street, and between westward and eastward main tracks at westward water crane, and from track 25 to eastward main track, Huntington. This does not relieve enginemen and trainmen from protecting the movements as per Rule 99.

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

SPRING SWITCHES.

Marion-Griffith

 

The pull-out switch connecting C. & E. lead with westward main track at west end of Marion Yard, and switch at the east end of eastward passing siding at Griffith are equipped with spring switch stands set normal for main track movements. Trains or engines may pull out of these tracks to main track without opening or closing switch by hand.

Extreme care must be taken to prevent backup movements, slack running out of trains, or taking slack over spring switch before forward movement is completed. If necessary to make such movements, switch must be hand operated.

The switch at west end Marion Yard is protected by a semaphore type signal located 4600 feet west of the switch to govern the movement of trains operating against current of traffic on westward main track, and the switch at east end of eastward passing siding at Griffith is protected by approach lighted color-light dwarf signal located 8400 feet east of the switch to govern movement of trains operating against current of traffic on eastward main track. These signals will indicate as follows:

Clear

Proceed over spring switch.

Approach

Proceed to point of switch, then stop, examine switch points and make certain points are properly set before proceeding. If found out of order, use hand throw switch and restore to normal position after using, reporting condition immediately to the Superintendent.

Trains moving against current of traffic on clear indication will pass over spring switches with entire train at a speed not to exceed 20 miles per hour.

These switches are equiped with electric switch signals which indicate as follows:

Green

Switch points properly lined for main track movement. Proceed over spring switch in





 

accordance with special instructions.

Red

Switch points not properly lined for main track movement. Trains moving on main track, stop and examine switch points, using hand-throw to correct alignment of switch, if necessary, and proceed only when switch is properly secured, reporting any improper conditions immediately to the Superintendent.

Trains authorized by train dispatcher to occupy main track, may proceed over spring switches without opening or closing the switch by hand when switch signal displays "Green" indication.

If electric switch signal displays "Red" indication, switch must be reversed by hand before movement is made and restored to normal position after entire train has passed.

These switches also equipped with switch key-operated color light dwarf signals:

1.

To operate dwarf signal, a member of crew will first secure permission from train dispatcher and then operate signal by inserting switch key in switch key operated controller located adjacent to switch, turning key to right as far as possible and remove key.

 

a.

When approach circuit is not occupied, signal will immediately display proper indication to leave siding.

 

b.

With approach circuit occupied, signal will display proper indication to leave siding after a time interval of four minutes.

2.

If the intended movement out of the siding is not made after the controller has been actuated, signals must be restored to normal position by operating push-button located at key controller.

 

 

 

 

UNATTENDED INTERLOCKINGS

During the hours that interlocking plants are closed, the following will govern:

(1) The home signals governing movements through the interlocking with the current of traffic will be set to display "Clear" indication before the operator closes the tower. Dwarf signals will be set to indicate "Stop".

(2) When the interlocking signals display "Stop" for a train or engine during the hours the towers are closed, a member of the crew will immediately call Train Dispatcher and request permission to make the desired move.

(3) After permission is received from Train Dispatcher, the movement through the interlocking may be made without signal indication after member of the crew has ascertained that signals governing other railroads are in "Stop Position" and that switches are properly lines for the movement.

(4) Permission received from Train Dispatcher for the move will be acted upon in lieu of Clearance Forms A and B.

 

REMOTE CONTROL INTERLOCKINGS

The interlocking at KN is controlled by the operator at HN Tower.

1.

Trains or engines must not enter nor foul main



(5)




 

track, nor re-enter such track after having cleared it without proper indication of the governing signal and permission of the operator. Protection must then be provided in accordance with Rule 99.

2.

When switching movements are to be made over switches equipped with power operated switch machines, an understanding must be had with the operator.

3.

When a train is delayed after a "PROCEED" signal has been displayed the operator must be notified promptly as to cause and probable duration of delay.

4.

When a train is stopped by a "STOP" signal, a member of crew will immediately communicate with the operator.

5.

A train or engine must not make a reverse movement after accepting a controlled signal for straight-away movement, excepting under flag protection or when movements are being made in accordance with Paragraph 1.

6.

Trains stopped or delayed after passing distant signal displaying "CLEAR" indication, must approach controlled signal expecting to find the signal displaying its most restrictive indication.

7.

A white light known as "Maintainer’s Call Signal" is located on the instrument housings near power operated switches. Crews on trains or engines working in the vicinity and observing the signal lighted, will immediately call the operator as this signal may be used to call train employees to the telephone.

8.

When moves are to be made through remote control interlocking plants and proper signal indication cannot be displayed, a member of crew will call operator and request permission for the move.

 

a.

Instructions or permission received must be repeated to the operator, stating name and occupation of employee and train or engine identification.

 

b.

After permission has been received, the movement through the interlocking may be made without signal indication after member of crew has ascertained that signals governing other railroads are in stop position and that switches are properly lined for the movement.

 

c.

Permission received from the operator will be acted upon in lieu of Clearance Form B.

9.

Except as provided in the foregoing instructions, all rules of the Operating Department effective Nov. 30, 1952, remain in effect.

 

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS COVERING HAND OPERATION OF REMOTE CONTROLLED SWITCHES.

When necessary to operate a power operated switch by hand, following instructions will govern:

1.

Communicate with operator by telephone.

2.

After receiving permission, remove crank from holder located in telephone booth in instrument house.

3.

Raise cover which is painted white on top of





 

switch machine and place crank on square shaft located at that point and crank switch to desired position.

4.

Examine switch points to be sure they fit up to rail properly, then spike and block point securely. When one or more switches are cranked, crank must not be removed from last switch machine cranked until train movement is completed and switch restored to normal.

5.

Crank cover should then be locked and crank restored to holder in telephone booth in instrument house.

6.

Switch should not be hand operated except in emergency and Maintainer notified.

7.

Switch blocks, spikes, spike maul and claw bar will be found in the instrument house and should be returned to the booth after being used.

 

 

RULES GOVERNING AUTOMATIC BLOCK SIGNAL SYSTEMS, EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 30, 1952.

Automatic Block Signal System Rules will govern between Marion and Hammond.

 

SUPERIORITY OF TRAINS.

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 time table superiority.

INSTRUCTIONS GOVERNING CROSSOVER AND OTHER MOVEMENTS AT OHIO CITY.

When either eastward or westward trains are to be operated against the current of traffic from Ohio City, following procedure will govern:

Interlocking signals will be displayed at stop and train order indicating light will be displayed.

EASTWARD--Approaching trains will acknowledge this combination of signals and after receiving restricted speed signal may proceed into interlocking limits where operator will deliver necessary train order and permission to use crossover. Conductor will see that switches are properly lined after being used.

When restricted speed signal is displayed at eastward home signal, and train order indicating light is not displayed, trains will proceed looking out for instructions to enter siding.

WESTWARD--Trains will come to a stop to clear east switch of crossover and trainman will call on phone located on outside of east end of tool house for instructions and permission to use crossover. After permission is given, train will then cross over and proceed into interlocking limits on proper signal indication where necessary train orders will be delivered. Conductors will see that switches are properly lined after being used.

 

TONNAGE RATINGS.

Train tonnage will be determined by the Chief Train Dispatcher.



(7)




Trains will be given maximum rating unless otherwise directed.

 

MISCELLANEOUS.

Unless otherwise instructed all trains and engines, except first class trains, arriving Huntington will not pass College Road Crossover, or crossover at east end of Yard A, without calling on telephone for instructions.

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.

Powdered chemical known as Du-Gas, for extinguishing fires in hot boxes of freight cars, has been distributed to all locomotives and cabooses in through freight service, and should be used according to instructions on box.

 

CODE SIGNALS.

Employees 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 the 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.

 

OVERHEAD CLEARANCES.

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

AUTOMATIC TRAIN STOP

Instructions for Enginemen with Locomotives Equipped with Automatic Train Stop Open Inductors

See Rules 520 to 520 (b) inclusive, Rules of the Operating Department effective November 30, 1952.

Locomotives are now operating over Western District in through line service with automatic train stop cut in.

Open inductors are now in service on engine dispatching track at Marion Diesel Shop.

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

 

To Place Equipment in Operation

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:

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.



(8)




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.

Control Cutout Cock 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 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 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 over-speed 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 Failures 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 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 ex-





cess 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, OverSpeed 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.
