General Instructions.

 

The track circuits for these crossings with the current of traffic are arranged for fast and slow speed.

 

Trains operating with the current of traffic under 30 miles per hour a distance of 3500 feet or about 80 car lengths from crossing must not accelerate to exceed 30 miles per hour until crossing has been reached.

2.

Automatic cutout devices are connected to the switches within the circuit limits which permits gates to raise when switch is opened.

 

Trains switching in these locations using main track must have both switches of crossover or switch to turnout open and derail in off position to permit gates to raise when crossing is not occupied.

 

Trains or engines which have been stopped, delayed or have done switching within circuit limits will approach these crossings prepared to stop, and not proceed over crossing until gates are known to be down except under flag protection.

3.

Trains performing switching, setting off or picking up at these locations must leave their trains back of crossing circuit start a sufficient distance to assure that after returning to train, engine and cars will not be on crossing circuit.

MISCELLANEOUS

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.



7




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 - Proceed signal.

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

Powdered Chemical known as "DU-GAS" for extinguishing fires in hot boxes of freight cars has been distributed to engines and cabooses (except yard engines and yard cabooses). Following instructions will govern use of same. "Throw half of the powder from tube directly on blaze and close box lid. Wait one minute, then open box, distribute remainder of powder over hot journal and close box lid. If more than one box of powder is needed to extinguish fire it must be used. This prevents dope from taking fire again after car is set out. Car Must Be Set Out After Powder Has Been Used. Important - Box lid must be closed tight after powder is applied." In the event there is none of this powdered chemical available and it is necessary to set a car or cars out of a train on account of a hot box, dope is to be entirely removed from journal box and fire extinguished and dope left some distance away from the car so in case it should again ignite, it will not set fire to the car. Lid of journal box should be closed so that journal will cool slowly in order not to result in checks and cracks in axle.

AUTOMATIC TRAIN STOP SYSTEM

Automatic Train Stop System Rules effective November 30, 1952 will govern between Westward Automatic signals 191-1 Susquehanna up to and including Westward Automatic Signal 331-1 at Block 3 Hornell Yard, and at Eastward Signal 331-2 Block 3 Hornell Yard up to and including 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, and dwarf signal on hump yard lead East end Hornell Yard which is 10 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 yellow, 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, Gang Mills and Hornell. 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 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.



9




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.

 

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.

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 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 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 on 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 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 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.
