Issue instructions clearly and concisely. 10. Job briefings are not complete until all

involved employees have acknowledged their understanding.

B. Communicate existing or potential hazards:

1. What existing or potential hazards may interfere with safe operations, and what can be done to protect against them?

2. Consider and discuss things like close clearances, walking hazards, movements on adjacent tracks, other crews working in the area, etc.

3. Do not needlessly create your own hazards.

4. Ensure that any hazards that are discovered are communicated to all crew members.

C. When conditions change, conduct another job briefing:

1. Ensure everyone stays on the same page when conditions or tasks change.

2. Conduct a new job briefing when an individual joins or leaves the crew.

3. For complex jobs, brief only portions of the job and conduct additional briefings as work progresses.

B-S1 GOOD FAITH CHALLENGE (GFC) A. Right to Challenge

Federal Regulations have provisions that allow an employee the right to challenge a directive which, based upon the employee’s good faith determination, would violate a railroad operating rule or special instruction relating to:

• Shoving movements. • Leaving equipment foul of an adjacent track.

or • Handling of hand-operated switches or fixed

derails.

B. Good Faith Challenge Procedure 1. An employee may inform a supervisor issuing

a directive that a good faith determination has been made that the directive would violate a railroad operating rule or special instruction relating to:

• Shoving movements. • Leaving equipment foul of an adjacent track. or • Handling of hand-operated switches or fixed

derails.

When making a good faith challenge, the employee must clearly explain how the directive will cause a violation.

2. The supervisor will not require the employee to comply with the directive until the challenge is resolved. However, the supervisor may:


8 Timetable No. 3

(B-S1 continued) • Require the challenging employee to

perform other tasks not related to the challenge until the challenge is resolved. or

• Direct an employee, other than the challenging employee, to perform the challenged task before the challenge is resolved. Employee so directed will be informed of the challenge, and determine that the challenged task does not violate the rules.

C. Resolving the Good Faith Challenge

1. A challenge may be resolved by one of the following:

• The supervisor’s acceptance of the employee’s request.

• An employee’s acceptance of the supervisor’s directive.

• An employee’s agreement to a compromise solution acceptable to the person issuing the directive.

2. If the challenge cannot be resolved because

the supervisor issuing the directive has determined that the employee’s challenge has not been made in good faith, or there is no alternative to the direct order, the railroad will:

• Provide immediate review by at least one manager, which must not be conducted by the supervisor issuing the challenged directive or that supervisor’s subordinate.

• Resolve the challenge using the same options available for resolving the challenge as the initial supervisor.

3. If the manager making the final decision

concludes that the challenged directive would not cause the employee to violate any requirement of the involved rules, the reviewing manager’s decision shall be final and not subject to further immediate review. • The manager will inform the employee that

Federal law may protect the employee from retaliation, if the employee’s refusal to do the work is a lawful, good faith act.

• The employee making the challenge will be afforded an opportunity to document, in writing or electronically, any protest to the manager making the final decision before the employee’s tour of duty is complete.

(B-S1 continued) • The employee will be afforded the

opportunity to retain a copy of the protest.

D. Request for Review/Final Verification Upon written request, at the time of the challenge, the employee has the right for further review by the Director of Operating Rules. Within 30 days after the expiration of the month during which the challenge occurred, the Director of Operating Rules will verify the proper application of the rule in question. The verification decision shall be made in writing to the employee.

10 Timetable No. 3

REPORTING FOR DUTY

1-S1 REPORTING FOR DUTY When reporting for duty, the Conductor or Engineer must communicate with the Train Dispatcher for the purpose of determining that all Bulletin Orders and instructions covering the territory on which they will work have been received. The Train Dispatcher and Conductor or Engineer must confirm the number of the latest TSRS in effect and the latest Bulletin Order in effect, including any Supplemental Bulletin Orders issued after the effective time of the latest TSRS. This information must be conveyed to all members of the crew by the Conductor or Engineer. Employee Registers are not used on Springfield Terminal Railway.

1-S2 BULLETIN ORDERS Bulletin Orders will be issued by authority and over the signature of the General Manager. Bulletin Orders will contain changes to Timetable, Rule Book and other operating instructions. Bulletin Orders will be issued as follows: 1. Scheduled Bulletin Orders

Scheduled Bulletin Orders will be issued on a weekly basis effective 0001 each Monday.

2. Summary Bulletin Orders

The Summary Bulletin Order will be issued on the first Monday of every month. This Bulletin Order will summarize all current information and will supersede previous Bulletin Orders.

3. Supplemental Bulletin Orders

Supplemental Bulletin Orders will be issued as needed.

Bulletin Orders will be numbered by month, with a prefix of the current timetable (BO 2-01, for Timetable No. 2, January). Bulletin Orders issued between the Summary Bulletin Orders will include a sequential letter suffix (BO 2-01A, 2-01B, etc). 1-S3 DIVISION NOTICES Division Notices will be issued by authority and over the signature of the General Manager. Division Notices will be numbered consecutively with a prefix of the current timetable (DN 2-001, 2-002, 2-003, etc). Employees whose duties are affected by them must read, understand and comply with Division Notices.

1-S4 TEMPORARY SPEED RESTRICTION SUMMARY (TSRS)

Temporary Speed Restrictions on Main Tracks will be conveyed by the Temporary Speed Restriction Summary (TSRS). The TSRS will be issued daily at 0001 hours and will be numbered consecutively each day through the year (TSRS #001 is issued Jan. 1, #002 issued Jan. 2, etc). Each TSRS will supersede the previous TSRS. The current TSRS must be obtained by both Conductor and Engineer of all trains before entering main track. The TSRS is transferable from one crew to another and must be left in the controlling engine of a train when being re-crewed, unless otherwise instructed. Crews of foreign railroads operating on ST Main Tracks must carry only the portions of the TSRS that affect the movement of their train. Speed restrictions for other than main track will be conveyed by Timetable Special Instruction or Bulletin Order. 1. Establishing Speed Restriction Limits

Speed restrictions will be listed between two points (“Between MP 1 and MP 2”) or at a specific location (“Passing Main St mileage 123.45”). Only physical characteristic locations defined in the Timetable Station Pages can be used to denote speed restrictions. These locations may be whole mileposts, controlled points, road crossings, switches, and station locations. Portions of a mile, bridges, and other features not depicted in the timetable may be used as limits only when speed signs are displayed in the field. When an Interlocking or Controlled Point is used to denote the limit of a speed restriction, the restriction ends at the home signal governing entrance to that Interlocking or CP. If a restriction includes the Interlocking or CP, it will be conveyed as “Between MP 120 and WL CPF 123 (or EL CPF 123)”. A restriction solely within the limits of an Interlocking or CP will be conveyed as (“Passing CPF-123”).

2. Changes received enroute When a speed restriction or speed upgrade is issued between summaries, the Train Dispatcher must notify affected trains before authorizing those trains to operate on the affected track. Both the Conductor’s and Engineer’s copies of the TSRS must be updated with the new changes. Changes to the TSRS must not be copied by an employee operating the controls of a moving train. The following procedures apply:


Timetable No. 3 11

(1-S4 continued) • Train Dispatcher must call the train and state

his intent to issue a “Speed restriction/upgrade/ to TSRS #____ (number of the affected TSRS)”.

• Train Dispatcher must state the route, location(s), track(s), and speed. Information regarding speed signs will be given only when it is known that signs have been displayed.

• The restriction/upgrade information must be added to the “Changes Received En-route” section on the last page of the TSRS. If necessary, restriction/upgrade information may be placed on the back of the TSRS. When changes are placed on the back of the TSRS, employees must make a note in the appropriate location on the front of the TSRS: “Restriction/upgrade on back”.

• The information must be repeated to the Train Dispatcher consistent with proper radio procedures.

• The Train Dispatcher must confirm the restriction/upgrade and give the time effective, date, and their initials.

• Conductor and Engineer must record the time effective, date, and Train Dispatcher’s initials on their copies of the TSRS, and they must make certain the restriction/upgrade is read by all employees responsible for the operation of the train. These employees must acknowledge their understanding of the restriction/upgrade and remind Conductor and Engineer of its requirements, if necessary.

• When a restriction is canceled en-route, the following additional procedures will apply: Employees must draw a line in ink through the canceled restriction on their copies of the TSRS and must write the time, date and Train Dispatcher’s initials next to the deleted line on the TSRS.

3. Other information Crews of trains enroute at 0001 that are not in possession of the latest TSRS must notify the Train Dispatcher and will be governed by the TSRS in their possession. The Train Dispatcher must insure that crews have all current information and arrange for delivery of the current summary at the next forward location where one can be obtained. Crews reporting for duty at a location where a current summary is not available must communicate with the Train Dispatcher for the purpose of determining the current speed restrictions affecting the movement of their train.

(1-S4 continued) The receiving Conductor and Engineer must record any restriction(s) and must obtain a current summary at the next location where one is available. In the application of Rules 296a, b, and c, the column entitled "Signs" on the TSRS indicates whether or not speed signs have been erected. "Y" signifies that speed signs have been erected, "N" signifies that speed signs have not been erected.

2-S1 CHANGE OF TIME On the second Sunday of March at 0201 hours, employees must advance their watches to reflect 0301. On the first Sunday of November at 0201 hours, employees must turn their watches back to show 0101. If possible, employees must compare their watch with a Standard Clock which has been changed to reflect the corrected time.


12 Timetable No. 3

MISCELLANEOUS SIGNALS

20-S1 ENGINE BELLS In the application of NORAC Rule 20, the engine bell must be sounded when an engine is approaching and proceeding through passenger stations. 24-S1 END OF TRAIN DEVICES - RECREWS In the application of NORAC Rule 24, paragraph c, the following instructions apply to crews assuming control of an unattended train. If information on the AB-1 form indicates that the end of train device is properly in place and functional, the crew is relieved from any obligation to check the function of the device during daylight hours, or at any location other than a crew reporting point during the hours that the device is required to function. In such cases, functionality of the device must be verified at the next forward location where the train has work enroute. SPEED RESTRICTIONS AND EQUIPMENT HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

Engineers of trains that will operate at speeds greater than 20 MPH must check the accuracy of the speed indicator on the leading engine by the use of mile posts, watches and the Timetable Speed Table. The check must be done as soon as possible after departure from the initial terminal. "Measured Miles" are designated in the station pages and are denoted in the field by signs displaying "B" for begin and "E" for end. A record of inaccuracies of +/- 3 MPH for speed between 10 and 30 MPH and of inaccuracies of +/- 5 MPH for speeds above 30 MPH must be made on the Engine Work Report. If a lead engine which is not equipped with an operative speed indicator is dispatched from a terminal, a speed restriction of 20 MPH will apply. In circumstances where the speed indicator on the leading engine fails en-route, the train may be operated at Normal Speed to the final terminal.

Timetable No. 3 13

37-S5 COUPLING SPEEDS Equipment must not be coupled to at speeds greater than 4 MPH, unless otherwise restricted. Loaded automobile rack cars must not be flat switched or humped. They must be shoved to rest and coupled at a speed not exceeding 3 MPH. 37-S6 PREVENTION OF HARMONIC ROCK Except on ascending grades or when operating on welded rail, if a freight train cannot maintain 25 MPH or more, the speed of that train must be reduced to 10 MPH or less. Trains handling over dimension loads must be stopped when meeting or being passed by other movements. If special instructions for a particular route authorize a speed between 10 MPH and 25 MPH, the speed authorized by the special instruction will govern. This instruction does not supersede any specific instructions pertaining to individual cars or equipment. 37-S7 RESTRICTED SPEED OPERATIONAL

TEST To ensure that trains required to operate at Restricted Speed are able to stop short of an obstruction, ST Supervisors conducting operational tests will be placing a Temporary Track Barricade Sign in the gauge of the track ahead of trains which are required by rule or special instruction to operate at Restricted Speed. A Temporary Track Barricade Sign is a red reflectorized sign with the word STOP appearing in white letters. 37-S8 TRAIN CONSIST AND TRAILING

TONNAGE FOR MIXED TRAINS Crews making up trains in yards or picking up or setting off cars enroute must know that the location of loaded and empty cars in the train will not cause unstable dynamic forces. Crews must be alert to locations of empty flat cars or empty intermodal cars. Such cars must be positioned toward the rear of the train so that no more than 5,000 tons is behind them. Crews finding trains in violation must immediately report this to the train dispatcher and be governed by his instructions. This instruction does not apply to trains consisting of only intermodal or flat cars.

40-S1 LOCOMOTIVE LEAK REPORTING PROCEDURES

Employees finding locomotives leaking or spilling any fluids onto the ground that are hazardous to the environment, including oil or fuel, must immediately report the exact location of the locomotive to the Train Dispatcher or Director of Train Operations by the quickest means possible. Locomotive engineers must document such occurrences on the locomotive inspection report (MP-2005). Locomotives found in this condition must not be moved until authorization is received by ST environmental personnel, unless moving the locomotive would minimize the potential impact of the leak/spill. Certain locations are equipped with oil absorption/collection pads. Employees are responsible for ensuring that unattended locomotives left at locations equipped with such pads are positioned over/on the pads. 42-S1 HOLD BACK INSTRUCTIONS Locations will be identified by Special Instruction where trains must hold until receiving information from Train Dispatcher or a more favorable signal indication. These locations may be indicated in the field with by an “Engine Hold Sign”, signal location or other physical characteristic feature.

INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT

70-S1 HANDLING BOXCARS EQUIPPED WITH PLUG DOORS

In the application of NORAC Rule 70, cars equipped with plug doors must not be moved if plug doors are not properly secured in the closed position. Train and engine service employees are not permitted to close plug doors. Cars found with open plug doors must be bad-ordered, set out, and reported to the Mechanical Department. 72-S1 TRAIN DEFECT DETECTORS The locations and types of train defect detectors are specified by Timetable Special Instructions. The following types of detectors are in service: Code Type HBD Hot box detector DED Dragging equipment detector HCD High car detector WLD Wide load detector HWD Hot Wheel Detector

1. General Procedures

Crews must ensure that radios are tuned to the proper radio channel sufficiently in advance to receive the audible message transmitted by train defect detectors. Engineers should avoid prolonged use of train brakes, when practical, while approaching detector locations. Engineers should set the distance measuring feature of the head end device (if available) when engine passes the detector to assist in locating possible defects and determining when train is clear of detector. Trains should not be operated at less than 10 MPH while operating over train defect detectors, if possible.

2. “No Defect” Message If a train defect detector transmits a “no defect” message, all crew members must confirm the message received and the train may proceed. A crew member must acknowledge the message received by making a radio broadcast on the proper road channel that contains the train symbol, detector location and track designation (if in multi-track territory), and repeat of the message received.

3. Detector Malfunction Message

A detector malfunction message is any message that indicates that the detector may not be working properly. It may include the following terms:

(72-S1 continued) “Detector Malfunction”, “Detector Not Working”, “Integrity Failure”, or “Train too Slow”, for example.

(a) A train must be stopped and entire train

inspected when: • A detector reports defective equipment

and a detector malfunction message. • A detector malfunction message is

received at two consecutive detector locations.

• For Key Trains, any detector malfunction message is received.

• No message is received from a detector. (b) If detector does not report defective

equipment and gives a detector malfunction message, train (except for Key trains) may continue, not to exceed 30 MPH to the next detector or until qualified employees perform a roll-by inspection of each side of the train.

Train Dispatcher must be notified of all detector malfunction messages received as soon as practical.

4. Defect Message Received

If train defect detector indicates defective equipment, all crew members must confirm the message received and the train must be stopped consistent with good train handling techniques immediately after train has cleared the detector. After stopping, the train dispatcher must be notified and the train must be inspected. (a) If detector reports an axle location for the

defect, crew member must physically count axles from the head end (including the locomotives) and inspect the indicated axle: • If defects are found at the specified axle,

the employee must inspect both sides of train 8 axles ahead and 8 axles behind the axle indicated by the detector.

• If no defects are found at the indicated axle, employee must inspect both sides of train 20 axles ahead and 20 axles behind the axle indicated by the detector.

(b) If detector does not report an axle location, the

entire train must be inspected. (c) If detector reports 3 or more defects, those

defect locations and the balance of the train behind the last reported defect must be inspected.


Timetable No. 3 15

(72-S1 continued) (d) If detector reports a defective bearing (hot

box) and inspection fails to confirm evidence of the defect, train will not exceed 30 MPH until it has passed over the next train defect detector or is delivered to a terminal for mechanical inspection. If the same car sets off the next detector or is found to be defective, it must be set out.

(e) Results of the inspection must be documented

on the reverse side of the train’s AB-1 form and reported to train dispatcher. If a crew leaves the train prior to operating over the second detector required by (d), the need for such inspection must be communicated to the new crew by the outgoing crew.

5. Hot Bearing Inspection

(a) Inspect bearings as follows: 1. 200°F Temperature crayon (Tempilstik or

similar) • Apply the crayon to the outer ring or

cup of the roller bearing. 2. Hand Method

• Carefully place the back of your bare hand close to the bearing

(b) Set the car out if: 1. Melting of crayon material (a waxy, shiny

smear) indicates that the bearing is overheated; or

2. If unable to keep bare hand close to the bearing for a few seconds; or

3. If bearing is noticeably warmer than other bearings on the car.

6. Defect Handling

If a defect is found that cannot be corrected and car is safe to move, the car must be set out and train dispatcher notified. If car is not safe to move, Mechanical Department personnel must be consulted before moving the car.

a. A yellow stripe painted on the inside and outside of head, web and base of both rails, or

b. A sign displaying the letters “FP”, or c. A fixed derail.

2. On tracks where the foul point is not indicated or is not visible, the foul point must be determined as follows: a. Stand on the tie butt with your outside foot

(the one that is closest to the connecting track) at the edge of the tie, then extend your arm outward toward the connecting track.

b. Move to a location where your extended arm is approximately 4 feet from the edge of the near running rail on the connecting track.

c. From this location, leave equipment an additional 50 feet into the track.

b. Leaving Equipment in the Clear

Cars, locomotives and other on-track equipment must not be left where they will foul a connecting track except when the equipment is: 1. Standing on a main track fouling a siding track

switch that is lined for the main track. 2. Standing on a siding track fouling a main track

switch that is lined for the main track. 3. Standing on a yard switching lead track fouling

a yard track switch that is lined for the for the yard switching lead track.

4. Standing on an industry track beyond the foul point of the switch leading to the industry.

When unable to leave equipment in the clear of a connecting track, the end of equipment must be positioned over the switch points so that the equipment completely occupies the switch leading to the connecting track.

101-S2 CLOSE CLEARANCE PROCEDURES Employees must not ride the sides of on track equipment onto tracks with known close clearance track centers, loading docks or private industry tracks which will not safely accommodate a man riding the side of equipment, unless adjacent tracks with close clearance track centers are clear of on track equipment. These tracks may or may not display “Close Clearance Sign”. In locations with close clearances, the employee controlling the move must stop the movement prior to entering the fouling point of the track(s) of the intended movement and prior to commencing any further movement, conduct a job briefing regarding the move to be made with all members of the crew. Precede the movement or move to a location where the moving equipment can be observed and properly controlled.

Switching Operations Fatality Analysis

The Five SOFA lifesavers are:

1 Secure equipment before action is taken.

2 Protect against moving equipment.

3. Discuss safety at the beginning of a job or when a project changes.

4. Communicate before action is taken.

5. Mentor less experienced employees to perform service safely.

HIGHWAY CROSSING WARNING

138-S1 CROSSING LEGEND The following symbols are used in the Station Pages of the Timetable to indicate different types of Highway Crossing Warning in service at each crossing: Code Details CB Cross-bucks or other passive warning devices.

No automatic warning devices. PMS Predictor/Motion Sensing: Automatic warning

devices will stop operating after movement has stopped for 20 seconds.

ATC Automatic Time Cut-out. Automatic warning devices will stop operating when movement approaches at a slow speed.

ACO Automatic Cut-outs. Automatic warning devices will stop operating when switches located within activation points are reversed.

MCO Manual Cut-out. Apparatus provided for crew member to manually interrupt automatic warning devices.

P Crew member or appropriately equipped flagger must provide on-ground warning.

When no codes are listed in the timetable, the crossing is equipped with standard automatic warning devices. Use of the letters S,N,E, or W will indicate that the type of crossing warning device at that location only applies for one direction. For example, PMSW indicates that PMS type devices are in service for westward trains only. 138-S2 ACTIVATION POINT In addition to the methods listed in NORAC Rule 138, paragraph a, posts displaying “X/C” will be used to designate the activation point for automatic warning devices. 138-S3 STOP POSTS Stop posts are red signs with the word “STOP” spelled in white letters. Stop posts may be placed in advance of highway crossings equipped with automatic warning devices. When Stop Posts are displayed, trains must stop and not enter the highway crossing until it is ascertained that the warning devices have been operating at least 20 seconds, or the gates (if equipped) are in the horizontal position.

138-S4 OBSTRUCTING CROSSINGS Engines or cars must not be allowed to stand longer than 5 minutes on any public highway crossing at grade. Crew members must ensure that the train is cut to clear the crossing if necessary to remain longer. This restriction also applies at all farm crossings at grade in the state of Vermont. Trains operating on a signal indication that will not permit complete movement over public highway crossings at grade must stop before occupying such crossing and contact Train Dispatcher. 138-S5 POWER INDICATORS Signal cases at highway crossings at grade equipped with automatic warning devices may contain a white power indicator light. When illuminated, this light indicates that the automatic warning devices are being supplied with commercial power. Absence of the white light may indicate that commercial power is not being supplied. Additionally, signal cases may also be equipped with a white flashing strobe light. When flashing, this strobe light indicates that commercial power is not being supplied to the crossing. Employees who observe either flashing strobe lights or the absence of the white power indicator light must make a report to the Train Dispatcher as soon possible. Train Dispatcher must relay such reports to signal maintainer. 138-S6 SIX CONDITIONS REQUIRING SPECIAL

FORM D RULES

160-S1 FORM D NUMBERING Form D’s will be prefixed with the letter “G” and will be numbered according to dispatching district. Form D’s issued for District 1 will be numbered in the 100 series, District 2 in the 200s, and District 3 in the 300s. Numbers will run sequentially, starting with 01 for the first Form D after midnight (G101, G102, G103 etc). In the event of computer failure, Train Dispatcher will issue Form D’s through the use of Form D books and Form D’s will have the letter “A” added to the number (G101A). 160-S2 MILEPOST IDENTIFIERS Milepost identifiers will be used where specified in the special instruction station pages. Milepost identifiers will consist of a letter or letters placed before the milepost (MP BW 22, MP X 14), and will be used for operating purposes including Form Ds, Foul Time authorities and Speed Restrictions. 165-S1 FORM D DELIVERY Immediately after stating their name when dictating Form D, Train Dispatcher will state the Form D Number and the total number of lines and individual line numbers as follows:

• “Form D G301 has 2 lines, Lines 2 and 13, over.”

Employee receiving Form D will repeat contents of Form D and, immediately after stating Train Dispatcher’s name, must state the Form D number and total number of lines and individual line numbers.

• “Form D G301 has 2 lines, Lines 2 and 13, is that correct, over.”

Before giving time effective, Train Dispatcher must state the Form D number and total number of lines and individual line numbers.

• “Form D G301 with 2 lines, Lines 2 and 13, Time Effective ______, over”

EXCLUSIVE OCCUPANCY

266-S1 EXCLUSIVE OCCUPANCY A train may be issued a Form D Line 2 authority to operate in “BOTH” directions on Main track outside of yard limits. When so authorized, the train has exclusive occupancy of the designated track(s) and may operate in either direction. Before issuing a Form D Line 2 authority in “BOTH” directions, Train Dispathcer must ensure that: 1. No other movements or conflicting authorities

have been authorized to use the affected track, AND

2. Signals governing opposing and following moves are in STOP position, AND

3. Blocking devices are applied to protect against opposing and following movements.

Other movements must not be authorized to proceed in the direction of exclusive occupancy authority unless they are restricted by Form D. Blocking devices may be removed by Train Dispatcher to permit the display of an Interlocking or CP governing movements in direction of exclusive authority as follows: 1. To authorize movement of the train that has been

issued “exclusive occupancy authority,” AND 2. To authorize movement of an approaching train

that has received a Form D restricting it from entering the exclusive occupancy limits. These blocking devices must be re-applied as soon as the movement enters the interlocking or CP involved.

Movements will be governed by ABS or DCS rules in effect for the direction of movement. Additional authority will not be required to make a reverse movement. If Line 2 authority includes interlocking or CP limits, before the authority is issued, blocking devices must be applied to affected switch and signal levers. After authority is issued, all crew members will consider the interlocking or controlled point signals governing movements to the designated tracks suspended, and all movement will be made at restricted speed. Train must not operate beyond designated limits on main track unless authorized by fixed signal at an interlocking or CP (proceed indication on controlled signal), Form D, or by verbal permission of the Train Dispatcher. A crew member must be positioned on the rear of the train for the purpose of directing a back up move. If necessary, dual control switches may be operated by hand with the Train Dispatcher’s permission.
