MISCELLANEOUS

  Employees in train and engine service while deadheading must not take part in card games.

  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 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 - Swing lantern 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.

  BRAKE STICKING:

  By day - Shove hand in sliding movement from body.





24

25






  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 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.

  When noticing a hot journal in train or receiving hot journal signal from operators and all others, stop will be made as soon as possible and journal inspected and if necessary repair before moving to first switch.

  Conductors handling Wrecking Derrick at scene of operation must use Green Flag by day and Green Light by night when giving hand signal to effect movement of Derrick.

  Green flag and lantern are supplied to wrecking outfit.

  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

  See Rules 520, 520A and 520B, Rules of the Operating Department, effective November 30, 1952, and Progressive Examination Questions and Answers on the Operation of Diesel-Electric Locomotives, effective June 1, 1954.

  Automatic train stop system territory extends between westward automatic signals 87-3 located east of "WX" Sparrowbush to and including westward automatic signal 330-3 at Block 3, Hornell Yard and between eastward automatic signal 331-2 located at Block 3, Hornell Yard to and including eastward home signals at "WX" Sparrowbush.

  Additional train stop device is in service on outside of left hand track rail on westward track between Gulf Summit









and SR Tower and on eastward track between Gulf Summit and MX crossover to protect backup movement. The train stop inductors located at signals between these points are painted white. At the inductors, yellow reflector lens mounted on post and located between eastward and westward tracks, face west between MX and Gulf Summit, and face east between Gulf Summit and SR Tower to designate location of inductors and enable enginemen to acknowledge when running against current of traffic.

  Open inductors are in service on engine dispatching tracks at Port Jervis, Deposit, Susquehanna, Binghamton, Elmira, 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.

 

FLAG STOPS

Trains scheduled to make flag stop at stations where no employee is on duty to give the necessary signal will approach such points prepared to stop and will come to a full stop if there are any persons on the platform.

ROUGH HANDLING

HOW TO JUDGE IMPACT FORCE AND SPEED OF FREIGHT CARS

  For the benefit of those engaged in train or yard service, there is shown below the impact force at various speeds, together with method of calculating speed of 40-foot car. This information should enable switching crews to couple cars at proper speed and subsequent claim payments.

  The factor behind damage resulting from rough coupling of cars is: impact delivered by coupled cars increases in proportion to square of the speed. In other words, a car coupled at 8 miles per hour delivers 16 times as much impact force as a car coupled at 2 miles per hour.

  The coupling speed of a 40-foot car may be determined by sighting the vertical end of car against some stationary object like a telegraph pole, switch stand or cross tie and noting the seconds it takes to pass. Speed in miles per hour is shown below. (A good way to count seconds without using a stop watch is to count "one hundred and thirty one, one hundred and thirty two" and so on as the car passes a stationary point.)
