GRADE CROSSINGS.

Except where interlocking signals are in operation, trains and engines must come to a full stop not less than 200 nor more than 800 feet from railroad crossings at grade.

 

CROSSOVER MOVEMENTS.

Operation of Crossover Movement-Painted Post, N. Y.

Permission must be received from Train Dispatcher. After securing permission to use crossover, carefully observe whether train is approaching from either direction; if not, operate crossover from east to west, allowing 2 minutes to elapse before occupying crossover.

This does not relieve enginemen and trainmen from protecting the movements as per Rule 99.

When necessary to enter upon main tracks or cross over from one main track to another, permission will first be obtained, except in Hornell, Binghamton and Susquehanna yard limits.

Exceptions to this rule as follows:

It will be necessary to obtain permission before crossing over at:

V N Crossover

Hornell

Creamery Crossover

Susquehanna

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 indications.

INSTRUCTIONS GOVERNING AUTOMATIC TRAIN STOP

Train stop device is in service at all signals governing main line movements on Susquehanna Division. Commencing at westward automatic signal 191-1, just west of Susquehanna Station, up to and including westward automatic signal 331-1 at Block No. 3, Hornell Yard; and at eastward automatic signal 331-2, Block No. 3, Hornell Yard, up to and including automatic signal 192-2, Susquehanna Yard.

Controlling inductors are located approximately 70 feet in the rear of each signal except at eastward signal 331-2, Block 3, Hornell Yard, which is 150 feet.

Train stop device is in service on westward track between Susquehanna station and SR Tower, to protect backup movement.

The train stop inductors located at signals between points mentioned above will be painted white, and at the





inductors yellow reflector lens facing west will be mounted on a post between the eastward and westward tracks to designate the location of inductors, to enable enginemen to acknowledge when running against the current of traffic.

Open inductors are in service on engine dispatching tracks at Susquehanna, Binghamton, Elmira, P. R. R. Engine House Southport, Corning and Hornell. Enginemen are required to take brake application passing over the first of these inductors and to acknowledge passing over the other.

Engines not equipped with Automatic Train Stop, or with such device not in working order, will not be handled over train control territory except under following restrictions:

1.

Double-headed behind an engine the train stop device of which is in working order.

2.

Dead, in freight train.

3.

When train stop device fails between terminals seal will be broken and Cutout cock, train stop device cut out, and report will be made to Superintendent at first point of communication and train will proceed in accordance with instructions received. In the event prevailing weather conditions interfere with visibility of signals, trains will proceed under caution from point where device fails to point of communication with Superintendent.

4.

Crews of engines of foreign lines handling detoured trains between points intermediate to division terminals, under protection of Erie pilot, will be governed by instructions of Superintendent as to extra precautions to be taken to safeguard movement.

 

 

TO PLACE EQUIPMENT IN OPERATION

STEAM:

1.

Headlight generator must be running.

2.

Main reservoir must be pumped up.

3.

Reset button must be depressed for two seconds.

4.

Brake valve must be moved to full service position to latch up handle to rotary valve.

DIESEL:

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

STEAM:

The actuator moves the rotary in the brake valve to service position only when A.T.S. application occurs, but the brake valve handle does not move. The engine



11




man can manually go from service position to emergency position. When an A.T.S. application has been received, the train will come to a stop and it will be necessary for the engineman to press the reset button located on the right side of the tender frame for two seconds; this will reset the system and indicator on top of the actuator will again go to the reset position, arrow pointing to "R".

Brake valve handle can then be relatched with the rotary by moving the handle to service position; after relatching brake valve can be moved to any position desired.

 

DIESEL:

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.

 

BROKEN AIR PIPES

STEAM:

If pipe on actuator cylinder is broken or leaking, plug it. It will then be necessary to break seal and raise cutout cock handle to cutout 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 to be used only in case of a failure of automatic train stop apparatus on locomotive.

STEAM:

This is under left hand actuator cylinder and when handle is in horizontal position the apparatus is cut in and when raised to the vertical position it is cut out.

DIESEL:

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

DIESEL:

Speed warning whistle will sound at approximately 86 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 89 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.

 

LIGHT DEFECT

STEAM:

When automatic train stop is 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, enginemen will proceed without cutting out automatic train control.

 

GOVERNOR CHECK LIGHT

DIESEL:

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 on arrival at terminal. Improper applications at clear signals or other points should be reported at first telegraph office.

 

SAFETY CONTROL (DEAD MAN)

DIESEL:

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 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 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, 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.
