E. HANDBRAKE REQUIREMENTS 1. HUDSON YARD

All tracks that will have rail car equipment “kicked or dropped” into will be required to have two buffer cars at opposite end of track positioned one car length from clearance point, in the clear with two hand brakes tested and applied.

187

PORTLAND SECONDARY


F. TRAIN HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS 1. DYNAMIC BRAKE BETWEEN MP PO 17.8 AND PORTLAND

Engineers on northward trains between MP PO 17.8 and Portland must operate automatic brake valve in such a manner as to maintain not less than 70 PSI brake pipe pressure. In the event brake pipe pressure falls below 64 PSI, the train must be stopped and sufficient hand brakes set to secure the train on the grade until the brake pipe is recharged.

2. RETAINER VALVE SETTINGS Freight trains will be operated on descending grades without the use of retainers when hauled by an engine equipped with pressure-maintaining feature properly tested and known to be in working order in addition to operative dynamic brake. In the event of failure of the dynamic brake or pressure-maintaining feature, or both en route, or if for any reason the Engineer is unable to control the speed of the train as desired, train will be brought to a stop and secured by use of hand brakes before air brake is released. After train line is recharged, crew must comply with instructions for engines not equipped with dynamic brake and/or pressure-maintaining feature. When an engine is not equipped with operative dynamic brake and/or pressure-maintaining feature, or when dynamic brake and/or pressure-maintaining feature becomes inoperative, retainers will be used as follows:

Between Train Tonnage Retaining Valves to be set

Stier and Portland Loaded and Mineral Set 50% Retainers

Retaining valves used as above must be set on high-pressure position on loaded cars and low pressure on empty cars. When using retaining valves of the three-position type, place handle in high-pressure position on loaded cars and slow direct exhaust position on empty cars. When Engineers are notified as to the condition of the brakes, they must also be notified as to the number of retaining valves set and in which position. When in the judgment of Engineers the use of additional retaining valves is required or their use is desired on grades other than specified, they will instruct the Conductors or crewmembers. On all grades where retaining valves are used, Engineers must operate the brake valve in such a manner as to maintain not less than 70 PSI brake pipe pressure. In the event brake pressure falls below 64 PSI, the train must be stopped and sufficient hand brakes set to secure the train on grade until the brake pipe is recharged.


a. UNION SQUARE – MP PO 0.7 All Trains must stop within 1 car length of Union Square crossing and do not proceed until traffic light turns Red.


3. OTHER CONDITIONS None.

PORTLAND SECONDARY


H. LOCATIONS WHERE GRAVITY DROPPING CARS IS AUTHORIZED 1. HUDSON YARD

No more than 5 loaded cars will be cut off at a time, coupling speeds are not to exceed 4 MPH After completion of flat shifting, rail equipment left standing on tracks will be “stretched” to ensure all couplings have properly made. A visual inspection will be made to determine the buffer cars are still in clear of adjacent tracks.

ABRAMS TERMINAL 6. TERMINAL INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)

I. REMOTE CONTROL OPERATIONS (CONT.) Note: A Remote Control Locomotive returning to service after being in a Mechanical Department Locomotive Shop facility must be tested by the RCO on its initial move to confirm that the on-board equipment is communication with the transponders. When properly equipped Remote Control Locomotive is moving eastward of westward onto the East Runner, a radio message, “Pullback Protection Enabled” or “Pullback Protection On” will be announced. When the pullback protection is activated, the equipped remote control locomotive’s on-board system will prevent the leading end of the locomotive from traveling beyond clearance point of the track regardless of speed selector setting of tonnage being handled. To ensure maximum effectiveness of the system, the remote control unit must be the East unit in the consist when pulling East and the West unit pulling West on the East Runner. A Remote Control Locomotive may be lined back on the East Runner only when the track is clear. The placement and use of the transponders relieve the Remote Control Operators from protecting the movement. However, if the Remote Control Equipped Locomotives fails to announce via radio that the pullback protection is “enabled” of “on,” the movement must be stopped. Before resuming the movement, the Remote Control Operator must protect the movement in accordance with the applicable rules.

K. RECEIVING YARD INSTRUCTIONS None.

L. CLASSIFICATION / SWITCHING YARD INSTRUCTIONS 1. Prior to shoving from the Receiving Yard to the hump, the following

procedure must be followed: a. The Hump Conductor will receive instructions from the Yardmaster. b. The Hump Conductor will ensure the route is properly lined to the top

of the hump. c. The Hump Conductor will then ensure that the route is clear, the switches

are properly lined and shove the cut to the hump. d. After permission from the Yardmaster is received to shove over the

hump, and the warning siren is sounded, humping may begin. If humping should pause for five (5) minutes or more, the warning siren must again be sounded.

e. EOTDs will be removed by the Hump Conductor and placed on the end of the car in the Receiving Yard. The Hump Conductor will remove the EOTD and place it on the rack at the hump shanty.

f. Prior to shoving tracks in the class yard, precaution must be taken to ensure that cars standing in the curve at the entrance to the tracks are coupled. This is to prevent damage due to passed couplers.

g. When Engineers and/or RCO are required to pull cars back over the hump, they must exercise caution when braking to a stop. To keep buff forces to a minimum, after reducing the throttle to idle, the independent brake should be applied lightly to adjust slack and gradually increased to complete the stop.

h. When stopping with a draft of cars, Engineers and/or RCO should expect a delayed slack action due to the rear of the draft coming off the apex of the hump. Before making a reverse movement towards the hump, Engineers should allow sufficient time to ensure the train has come to a complete stop.

224


L. CLASSIFICATION / SWITCHING YARD INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.) 2. The following procedure will govern the number of cars that can be cut over

the hump at one time: a. No more than five (5) Empty/Loaded cars in combination will be cut at

one time. No more than four (4) Medium/Heavy cars will be cut at one time. No more than two (2) Extra Heavyweight cars will be cut at one time.

b. Weights and Symbols: (1) Zero – 30 tons Empty (E) (2) Zero – 50 tons Light (L) (3) 50 – 80 tons Medium (M) (4) 80 – 100 tons Heavy (H) (5) 100+ tons Extra Heavy (X)

c. Extra Heavy or Heavy cars may not be humped into any clear track while a crew is occupying or fouling the front and/or back leads. The Yardmaster must ensure that the west end leads associated with empty class tracks are clear of crewmembers’ equipment.

d. Cuts of empty cars may be handled at the discretion of the CYO provided due caution is exercised to ensure a safe coupling speed.

e. The first five (5) cars humped into any clear track must be made in single car cuts. Timetable instructions apply after the first five (5) car cuts for that track have been humped.

f. Further restrictions apply on certain cars outlined in the Instructions for Handling Hazardous Materials. All personnel must be conversant with, and are responsible for, compliance with these rules.

3. Operating Retarders and Weighing Cars a. When humping cuts of cars, the equipment should be in automatic mode,

including the group retarders, unless conditions exist that require manual operation (i.e., radar failure, group failure, etc.). Weigh cars must be humped in automatic mode. When trimming or pulling back cars to hump, the equipment should be in the trim mode. At the end of each train or cut of cars humped, the switch should be moved from automatic to trim mode and reset when humping is to resume. In the automatic mode, the operator will still have the ability to control the retarders manually if required.

b. The Yardmaster will use the following exit speed settings as a guideline for normal operations from the group retarders for the following track des-ignations:

TRACKS SPEED CT01 & CT02 6 MPH CT03 7 MPH CT04 – CT08 6 MPH CT09 – CT11 7 MPH CT12 – CT15 6 MPH CT16 – CT17 7 MPH CT18 – CT24 6 MPH CT25 – CT27 5 MPH CT28 – CT29 6 MPH

4. INERT RETARDERS When practicable, cars should not be left standing west of the inert retarders on Class Tracks at Allentown Yard. When necessary to have cars standing west of inert retarder on Class Track: a. Employees on the ground will ascertain that the cars west of the inert

retarders are properly coupled to car or cars effectively held by the inert retarder. Cars west of the inert retarder that are not coupled are to be secured by sufficient effective hand brakes to prevent cars from fouling lead at West End of the Yard.

b. When puller crews are making a cut in a Class Yard track, do not leave cars in the middle of the track. Pull the cars down and make the cut in or near the insert retarders.

5. SINGLE CAR CUTS INTO CLEAR TRACK The first (5) cars humped into a clear track must be made in single car cuts. Timetable instructions apply after the first five cars for that track have been humped.

M. FORWARDING YARD INSTRUCTIONS A Departure (PARK) Track is a track located in a Forwarding Yard designated for building and making trains ready for outbound depart. The following tracks at Allentown Yard are designated as Departure Tracks are equipped with shove lights:

226


M. FORWARDING YARD INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.) When shoving cars into tracks #2 thru #8 in the departure yard from the west end, the following rules will apply. Employees are responsible for lining movements into the intended tracks in the Departure (Park) Yard. Once the rear end of train enters the intended track, employees must position themselves to observe the shove light for the entire movement. Employees must communicate the aspect of the signal to the engineer by every 10 car lengths that pass the employee directing the move (i.e. “another 10 by, light is still lit”). When the shove lights begin to flash, the employee must immediately communicate aspect (“lights flashing”) to and instruct the engineer to stop the train or shove movement. If the shove movement is stopped before the shove light turns dark, the shove move may continue until the signal extinguishes. All trains that need to be spotted at the east end of the forwarding yard for departure will be done visually so that the train can be placed where ground lines can be applied for inspection. WEST END PULLER INSTRUCTIONS All west end puller crews are to obtain a track list of each class track they are instructed to pull out of the Class Yard and spot into the Departure Yard. A job briefing with the crew and yardmaster will be performed discussing each class track. As the track is being pulled out, each car must be checked by the crew and must conform with the track list. Any extra or missing cars must be reported to the yardmaster immediately.

Also to clarify any confusion about utility positions; when you are assigned to work a utility job contact the Yardmaster on duty for job assignments. Utility jobs are separate positions and are not a brakeman position assigned to work with only one crew. Throughout the day the utility position may be working with different jobs throughout the day. The utility positions must contact the Yardmaster on duty before going off duty; just because the crew the utility was working for is finished for the day it does not mean all the tasks for the utility are completed. Any questions please contact the Trainmaster on duty.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

HB-NS-1 L-213-1. Hauling Dead Engines

Coupler and Brake Requirements for Consecutive Coupling Each engine unit must be counted as a car. Engine units must be separated by one or more cars with operative air brakes unless it is known that: 1. Engine units are equipped with alignment control couplers, AND 2. The air brake equipment on each unit incorporates a brake pipe vent valve. The engine units must be coupled consecutively if these conditions are met.

HB-SP-1. Speed Restrictions

Speeding is unacceptable in any degree over the authorized operating limit(s). However, in order to establish a uniform administration for speeding violations and to accommodate the variances in train operations and geography, these instructions are intended to define excessive speed. Excessive speed is: If the Speed Limit is: Excessive Speed is in excess of: From 5 MPH to 20 MPH 25% (2.0 to 5.0 MPH) above posted limit From 21 MPH to 35 MPH 15% (3.0 to 5.0 MPH) above posted limit From 36 MPH to 50 MPH 10% (4.0 to 5.0 MPH) above posted limit Above 50 MPH 5% above posted limit. The establishment of two (2) categories of speed violations is not intended to condone operation above the posted authorized speed. Excessive speed is considered a major rule violation. The purpose of these instructions is to save lives and prevent injuries.

HB-19. Excessive Dimension Equipment

Prior to departing a terminal, where trains receive a mechanical inspection, all trains destined to Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor must be observed to determine if there are any cars with the appearance of excessive height or width. The Mechanical Department employee performing this inspection is responsible for reporting the results of the inspection to the Yardmaster. After notification that one or more excessive dimension cars are in a train, the Yardmaster must ensure the train crew and Train Dispatcher/Control Operator have the necessary routing instructions for the safe movements of the car(s). Mechanical Department employees responsible for roll-by inspections must first obtain the location of any known excessive height or width shipments from the outbound crew. Exceptions found during the roll-by inspection must be reported immediately to the crew. The crew must stop their train immediately and notify the Yardmaster and/or Train Dispatcher/Control Operator. Eastward train crews approaching Minnick must advise the Mechanical Department employee on duty whether or not their train contains any cars with excessive dimensions.

HARRISBURG DIVISION

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)

HB-104. Excessive Dimension Car – CP R.R

All employees operating over Canadian Pacific Railway territory must report any frame cars in their consist to the C.P. R.R. South Dispatcher before departure. The South Dispatcher can be reached on Radio Channel 91-91 or telephone 612-904- 6113. These cars are considered excessive dimension cars on the C.P. R.R. They are marked excessive dimension on your NS paperwork.

HB-215-1. Shoving

1. Properly secured cars must be in place to protect against rollout. Retarders satisfy this requirement.

2. When flat-switching (free-roll) cars toward a dead-end track, four (4) blockers (cars with hand brakes applied) must be in position four (4) car lengths from the end of the track, before switching cars.

3. Cars and engines left on any track must be secured as follows: (a) Single End Tracks — No less than one (1) car length from end of track

(dirt mound, wheel stops, bumping post). (b) Tracks Open on Either End — No less than one (1) car length from

derail, if so equipped, or clear point on either end. EXCEPTION: Does not apply at industry locations where track length will not permit proper spotting. At these locations, crew must perform safety stop at least 30 feet from end of track, dirt mound, wheel stops, bumping post or when coupling cars are spotted at or near the end of track. At these locations crews must utilize extreme caution when coupling to cars or releasing brakes in order to prevent damage.

HB-215-2 Protecting Movements from Vehicle

In order to ensure safety of operations, the following procedures will govern employees utilizing company transportation in the performance of duty: 1. Shoving movements will not be initiated by an employee in a moving vehicle. 2. Additional radio communication in connection with the move will not be given

from a moving vehicle. 3. Employee directing move must be in a stationary position to observe the

leading end passing over switches, derails and road crossings. Employees should either be on the ground or riding on equipment when appropriate.

HB-610. Picking Up and Setting Out on Line-of-Road

Picking Up OSS Notification — Conductor will “tone” OSS utilizing the radio. On Divisions where the “tone” is not in place, Conductor will notify OSS as soon as possible of the pick-up via telephone. Information — Conductor will inform OSS of the cars picked up, detailing the “Head Car” and “Rear Car” of the pick-up and the total number of cars picked up, and where in the train the cars were picked up. Setting Out OSS Notification — Conductor will “tone” OSS utilizing the radio. On Divisions where the “tone” is not in place, Conductor will notify OSS as soon as possible of the pick-up via telephone. Information — Conductor will inform OSS of the cars set out, detailing the “Head Car” and “Rear Car” of the set out and the total number of cars set out, and what track the cars were put in. Interchange Reporting Information — Conductor will inform OSS on all interchange deliveries. Details should include:

• Head and rear car numbers of the interchange delivery • Total number of cars delivered • Time of the physical interchange • Track name and interchange location

HB-620. SD38 Mother and Slug Operation

1. Humping operations with the Slug on line below 7 MPH: MOTHER operation with the Slug on line is limited to approximately 7 to 7.5 MPH to protect electrical equipment on the locomotives. 2. Flat shifting or pulling cars at speeds above 7.5 MPH: The Slug must be off line. Only the MOTHER can be used at higher speeds. The MOTHER will make transition at 12 to 14 MPH. Changes in direction can be made more quickly. The longer time delay with the Slug on line is not present with the Slug off line.

Under no circumstances can the slug be used to start a train then isolate while moving. This causes damage to locomotive equipment that is seen as ground relay activity.
