RAILROAD CROSSINGS AT GRADE.

Except where interlocking or controlled signals are 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 west 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.

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.

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.

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

Automatic Block 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.

REMOTE CONTROL INTERLOCKINGS

The interlocking at KN is controlled by the operator at HN Tower. The interlockings at GR-Pershing and AD-Aldine are controlled by the Train Dispatcher at Huntington.

1.

When movement is to be made at KN, GR-Pershing Eastward only and AD-Aldine Westward only with the current of traffic and proper signal indication cannot be displayed, a member of crew will call the Train Dispatcher or Operator and request permission for the move.

2.

Instructions or permission received must be repeated to Train Dispatcher stating name and occupation of employee and train or engine identification.

3.

After permission has been received, the movement through the interlocking may be made without signal indication at restricted speed to the next signal, after member of crew has ascertained that switches are properly lined for their movement.

4.

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

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 when proceeded by a flagman, 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.

TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The following territories are equiped with automatic block signal system upon which is superimposed manual control of certain signals and switches.

Eastward and Westward tracks between Bolivar and Newton, (not including interlockings at Bolivar and Newton.)

Single track between GR-Pershing and AD-Aldine (not including interlocking at Delong).

Eastward and Westward tracks between Wilders and Kouts, (not including interlockings at Kouts.)

Eastward and Westward tracks between Griffith and HY Tower, Hammond, (not including interlockings at Griffith, ND Tower Highlands, and HY Tower, Hammond.)

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 Train Dispatcher or 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 Train Dispatcher or 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 Train Dispatcher or operator.

4.

A train or engine must not make a reverse movement after accepting a CONTROLLED signal 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 distant signal displaying "CLEAR" must approach the CONTROLLED signal expecting to find that signal displaying its most restrictive indication.

6.

Delong siding is track circuited and protected by signals and may be used in either direction by Signal Indication.

7.

A white light known as "Maintainers Call Signal" is located on the instrument houses at KN, GR-Pershing, Delong, west end of Delong Siding, AD-Aldine and Wilders. Train crews working in the vicinity and observing the signal lighted will immediately call the Train Dispatcher as this signal may be used to call train employees to telephone.

8.

In all other respects Rules of the Operating Department effective November 30, 1952 will govern.

ELECTRIC SWITCH LOCKS

Lima

Westward main track switch leading to Dunn Coal Co. track, Lima is equipped with an electric lock.

A hand thrown derail on Lima Locomotive Works lead located just west of B&O track is equipped with electric lock.

Permission must be secured from the B&O R.R. operator before using the above switch or derail.

Leiters--Delong--Monterey

The switches at Leiters, Delong and Monterey are equipped with electric switch locks controlled by the Train Dispatcher. Before using these switches permission must be secured from the Train Dispatcher, who will unlock the electric lock.

Ora--Bass Lake

The switches at Ora and Bass Lake are equipped

with electric locks controlled by key operated time controller. A portion of train must occupy a short track circuit to effect release of switch lock. Instructions relating to handling of switches are posted in telephone booth at these locations.

Griffith

The switch to the Michigan Central interchange is equipped with electric lock. Permission must be secured from the leverman at Griffith Tower before using this switch.

HY Tower

The switch from the eastward main track to C&O Industrial District is equipped with an electric lock. Permission must be secured from the operator at HY Tower before using this switch.

Hammond

The switch from the westward main track to the EJ&E just east of State Line Interlocking, is equipped with an electric lock. Permission must be secured from the leverman at Hammond Drawbridge before using this switch.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS GOVERNING AUTOMATIC CROSSING PROTECTION

Highway crossing protection operating circuits at certain locations are arranged for fast and slow speed trains. At certain other locations automatic cut out circuits have been installed to prevent gates being lowered or protection operating continuously while trains are switching in the near vicinity of the crossing. The following instructions will govern:

Decatur

The highway crossing of State Route No. 33, Mercer Avenue, Decatur, Indiana, is protected by automatic gates.

Crews switching and opening the switch from the Eastward main track to the house track and the switch from the Westward main track to the east spur or either of the switches of the crossover between the Eastward and Westward main track at Decatur Freight House will release the gates and permit them to rise, if there are no other trains occupying the flasher circuits.

Westward trains stopping and cutting away from their train east of Mercer Avenue and then proceeding over crossing with engine or part of their trains will cause gates to rise as soon as the engine or cars have proceeded beyond the Westward home signal at DA Tower.

After switching moves have been completed and switches closed trains or engines must pull up to the crossing, stop and wait for the gates to re-lower before proceeding over the highway crossing.

Kingsland

Eastward trains operating on either track at a speed of 25 miles per hour or less passing through Kingsland interlocker must not exceed 25 miles per hour until after passing State Road No. 1, located at MP 108.75.

Rochester

U. S. Highway 31 (Main Street) is protected by automatic gates. Trains switching on either track west of Rochester station or eastbound trains on either track making station stop at Rochester approach U.S. 31 crossing prepared to stop if gates not lowered and proceed over crossing only when gates have lowered. Trains switching at Elevator Switch or coming from NKP interchange track or Westward siding on Eastbound track approach U.S. 31 crossing prepared to stop if gates not lowered and proceed over crossing only when gates have lowered.

Leiters

When crews open the switch to the switching track and if their train occupies the main track east of the switch, the flashers will stop working.

After the switch has been closed and Westward trains proceed the flashers will again commence. Trains which have cut out the flashers will not exceed a speed of 10 miles per hour until engine has passed Main Street crossing.

Delong

State Route 17 is protected by automatic flashers. Westward trains opening the switch for the interchange track will cause the flashers to stop and they will not again commence until the switch has been closed and the train proceeds over it. Trains having stopped the flashers will not exceed a speed of 25 miles per hour until engine has passed over State Route 17.

Monterey

The Walnut Street crossing at Monterey, Indiana is protected by automatic flashers, and the Washington Street crossing at Monterey, Indiana, is protected by automatic crossing bell.
