General Instructions

Conductors and trainmen, departing from each station must make the announcement "The next station is ---------," and arriving at each station, call the name of that station twice, clearly and distinctly, in each coach.

When stationed alongside their trains at Jersey City Station, they must indicate their trains by using the words "On this side" instead of "On your left" or "On your right."

When loading their trains at way stations such as Paterson or North Bergen, where trains leave in the same direction, but destined to different points, they must announce to boarding passengers the route the train will take.

When departing stations previous to arrival at a junction where passengers change cars, they must announce "The next station is --------, change cars for --------" (naming stations which connecting train will reach) and arriving at such junctions, they will repeat the announcement "Change cars for --------" and add "Train on the left or right," as the case may be.

When announcing N. Y. S. & W. trains at Jersey City, trains must be called "N. Y. S. & W." and not "Susquehanna."

The following instructions govern passenger train crews loading and starting trains at Jersey City passenger station: The conductor must, when possible, examine the train indicator in subway waiting-room and confer with the subway usher to see that the latter understands what train is to be loaded.

He must assign member of crew to be stationed at rear end of his train to direct passengers and prevent them from boarding dead-head cars, which may be behind his train.

He must be stationed at head of subway stairs to direct passengers and in case he finds it necessary to leave that point, he must station member of crew there until he returns.

When scheduled time of departure has arrived and train has received green signal indicating boat passengers have arrived, conductor must give subway usher a hand signal to close the gate.

Conductors and trainmen stationed alongside their trains at Jersey City must inform themselves of the destination of trains which may be loading on the opposite side of the same platform, in order to answer inquiries of passengers. Passengers inquiring for trains that are not being loaded from the same platform should be directed to ushers.

Immediately before departure of passenger trains from Jersey City, a member of the train crew must announce, inside the cars, the destination of the train in the form of the following examples:

"Main Line Express--Passaic, Paterson, Ridgewood," etc. Conductor will assign a member of his crew to perform this service.

In connection with the rules for operating steam heat on passenger trains, trainmen on eastbound trains must have steam blown out from equipment before arrival at Jersey City.

Trains operating with air-conditioned equipment will not blow steam out until passing Croxton Tower.

Uniformed agents of Union News Co. will be permitted to sell their merchandise on passenger trains except in Pullman, Business, Dining, or Parlor Cars, under direct supervision of conductor.

Conductors and trainmen when opening doors in passenger cars for the purpose of handling passengers at stations must see that doors are properly latched open.

Conductors and trainmen must keep toilet doors locked while trains are in Jersey City and other large stations and have them unlocked on westbound trains before passing Croxton, and when leaving other stations.

Passenger train employes must close windows of passenger cars before leaving their trains at terminals.

Uniformed employes must not where uniform caps while dead-heading on passenger trains.

Employes dead-heading on passenger trains must not occupy parlor cars and smoking compartments in lounge cars.

Employees must not occupy seats in passenger trains to the exclusion of paying passengers and must vacate seats when paying passengers are standing.

Employes in train and engine service, while dead-heading, must not take part in card games.

Passenger conductors and trainmen must prevent passengers destined to terminal stations from riding beyond station platforms and prevent passengers from boarding trains at such terminals until trains arrive at stations.

Passenger conductors and trainmen must not touch passengers boarding and leaving cars, except small children, invalid or feeble passengers, but they must stand prepared to give asistance should it be warrented.

Passenger conductors must remit cash collections daily.
