7. Special ConditionsCherokee Yard—Close clearance between Avard storage tracks 1 and 2. The main track begins and ends at MP 426.5. All movement other than on the main track will be under the authority of the Tulsa Yardmaster. Eastbound trains contact the yardmaster before entering Restricted Limits at MP 428.0 for yarding instructions.

Hallett—ESS and WSS are automatic switches with radio remote control. A roadway “DTMF” sign is located at MP 453.9 in advance of the ESS and at MP 463.2 in advance of the WSS. After the head end of the train has passed the sign, use a radio to send a tone code to the switch. Depress and hold each radio tone key for 1 second and pause 1 second between each tone. A return tone of 2 beeps indicates the radio command was successful.

Black Bear—Manual Interlocking MP 502.6 controlled by Red Rock Subdivision dispatcher.

Enid—Eastward trains will contact the Enid Yardmaster and receive authorization to enter Restricted Limits before passing Oakwood Road, MP 548. Westward trains will contact the Enid Yardmaster and receive authorization to pass 30th Street. All trains, if unable to contact the Enid Yardmaster, will contact the Avard Subdivision Dispatcher to receive authorization.

When an outbound train is required to double two or more tracks, the outbound train will not be allowed to make their final double until they have secured an in effect track warrant.

Walker—ESS and WSS are automatic switches with radio remote control. A roadway “KEYPAD” sign is located at MP 552.1 in advance of the ESS and at MP 563.5 in advance of the WSS. After the head end of the train has passed the sign, use a radio to send a tone code to the switch. Depress and hold each radio tone key for 1 second and pause 1 second between each tone. A return tone of 2 beeps indicates the radio command was successful.

Avard—For westward trains, when the white light at MP 601.6 is not illuminated, stop and contact the dispatcher. When the white light is illuminated, continue movement to the absolute signal at MP 601.9.

Remote Control Area—Signs at MP 428.0 (Avard Subdivision), MP 411.2 (Cherokee Subdivision), and MP 430.5 (Creek Subdivision) designate the Remote Control Area at Cherokee Yard.

Switch Point Monitoring System (SPMS)—SPMS is in effect on the Avard Subdivision from Tulsa to Avard.

Remote Control Power Switches (RCPS)—Both siding switches at Shirk are RCPS.

Hot Weather Train Handling (See Item 1(D) for Hot Weather Speed Restrictions)—In high temperature situations, the lateral stability of the track may be compromised by heavy or sudden brake or throttle applications. Except in emergency, when ambient temperature exceeds 90 degrees, avoid heavy dynamic or air brake applications or throttle positions in excess of what is needed to start train movement and gradually achieve maximum speed.Additionally, when ambient temperature exceeds 95 degrees, the use of dynamic braking is limited to 50 percent of maximum allowable and the use of independent engine braking is to be avoided where practicable. Sources for temperatures information include trackside warning detector reports, dispatcher, or local maintenance personnel.

Close Clearance Locations—Do not ride the side of equipment at the following locations due to close clearance:Enid track 8311

Vermont—Eastward trains holding the main track when making meets at the east end of Vermont, MP 142.4X, will stay west of the highway circuit sign until the train being met is in the siding and the switch is lined normal.

Beardstown Bridge—CTC is in effect from MP 118.1X to MP 116.3X, except the lift span bridge at MP 117.3X over the Illinois River is a manual interlocking. This bridge is locked for rail traffic by remotely controlled bridge locking machines. When a train is stopped by a signal governing movement over the bridge and the control machine indicates that the bridge is lined and locked for the route to be used, the control operator may authorize train movement over the bridge at restricted speed. If the control machine does not indicate the bridge is lined and locked for the route to be used, the control operator will instruct a crew member to ascertain if the lift span bridge is in the proper position for the train to proceed. With this verification, the control operator may authorize train movement over the bridge at restricted speed.

Jacksonville—The portion of the siding between the East Switch and the crossover is designated as storage track.

To contact the NS dispatcher at Decatur to use the Jacksonville interlocking, engines equipped with 99 channel radios can turn to Channel 22. The NS dispatcher call in sign is 342. Once 342 is pressed, you should receive a confirmation tone.

Springfield Radio Shop is a test station for head end devices. It simulates signals transmitted from a rear of train device and is operated 24 hours per day. Test procedure is as follows:Test Number: ................ Dial 90000Check:........................... All segments lit

Brake pipe pressure is 125 pounds MARKER ON, BATTERY LOW, and STOPPED are lit.

Brookline—Eastward trains approaching Springfield Yard must notify the yardmaster via Radio Channel No. 66. There is close clearance between the siding, track 4408, and the team track, 4401, from MP 246.7 to MP 246.8.

Brookline Coal Facility—The inbound crew will report their train arrival using VTR when the leading wheels exit the main track (MP 247.5) onto the South West Power (Brookline) spur. The crew must leave at least one copy of the train list on the conductor desk. Spot the train by proceeding onto the loop track counter clockwise (keep to the right), stopping short of the set out track. Set out 15-20 cars into the set out track, depending on the length of the train. The loop only holds 105 cars. Loop the entire train and stop the locomotive to clear the set out track. The outbound crew must pick up the 15-20 cars in the set out track and do an initial terminal airbrake test on the cars picked

up. The outbound crew will report their train departure using VTR when the leading wheels leave the South West Power spur and enter the main track. Any bad orders should be reported using VTR and by notification of the mechanical desk. The mechanical desk can be contacted using the VTR by staying on the line after reporting the bad order and responding “No” when asked “Have you notified the mechanical desk?”

Do not leave more than 105 cars on the Coal Loop. All manual dump cars must be on the rear end of the train.A derail has been installed at Brookline, MP 247.5, on the Brookline Power Plant lead, at a point 500 feet from the controlled siding. The derail is to remain in the non-derail position unless protecting equipment inside the Brookline facility.

Verona—Warning signal installed at the Ducoa plant gate. Signal located on pole between tracks with yellow sign and black lettering and two switches. All trains operate toggle switch before switching the plant.

Monett—The Arkansas-Missouri Railroad Main Track begins at the Arkansas-Missouri Railroad MP 283.0. Authority must be obtained before occupying the Arkansas-Missouri Railroad Main Track by calling (479) 751-1281 from 0600 to 2359 or (479) 751-8069 from 2359 to 0600.

PSO Oologah Power PlantLoaded Trains—Unless instructed by the dumper operator to wait at the Oologah Passing Track, trains must:1. Stop short of the Vehicle Maintenance Building (VMB)

crossing if unable to contact the dumper operator by radio (Channel 54).

2. When permission is received, proceed to the dumper. DO NOT enter the dumper, even if indicator light is green, until permission has been received from the dumper operator. Close clearance requires all side awnings and side mirrors be closed.

3. Spot the train for control/positioning arm attachment and unloading as instructed by the dumper operator.

4. When advised by the dumper operator, and ONLY after three (3) loads have dumped, crew will nullify the alert-ness control device and leave the train unattended during the remainder of the unloading process.

5. The conductor must notify BNSF Field Support of:A. Any car set out or picked up between Ft. Scott and

Oologah Power Plant.B. Arrival time and spotting time of the train at the

power plant.

operator via radio or the control room via the gate phone and advise of their presence before going to the train.

2. The dumper operator has been instructed not to release the control/positioning arm or wheel chocks until he makes visual contact with the conductor. Therefore, DO NOT move the train until the conductor has made visual contact with the dumper operator in the control room and radio communication has been established with the dumper operator to ensure a clear understanding of the move to be made. The conductor must then visually verify that the control/positioning arm and wheel chocks are released before moving the train.

3. The train must be moved at least 3 car lengths clear of the control/positioning arm before performing the required air test, replacing the ETD battery, and performing all other tasks that may be required to prepare the train for depar-ture.

4. A spare battery is on charge in the Relay Room near the dumper. Exchange the battery from the ETD to the charger. Be sure to leave the old battery on charge.

5. Do not move the train beyond the loop switch until com-munication with the dumper operator discloses that another train is not enroute to the loop.

Claremore—Eastward trains stopped by signal governing UP Interlocking MP 397.0 will stop clear of Will Rogers Blvd. (Highways 88 and 20).

Urban—Trains will contact Trimmer Tower yardmaster before passing signal at MP 423 for instructions to enter yard.

Muskogee, OK–Trains and engines using Muskogee Yard must comply with special notices posted in the UP/BNSF depot. When switching on Fort Howard tracks, Fort Howard safety rules must be followed. Maximum speed in Muskogee yard is 10 MPH including Wye tracks at Brockway and Container lead. Use single locomotive to switch Container Lead and 24th Street West.

Remote Control Operations—Signs located at MP 242.0 (Cherokee Subdivision), MP 233.0 (Cuba Subdivision), MP 198.0 (Ft. Scott Subdivision), and MP 206.0 (Thayer-North Subdivision) designate the Remote Control Area at Springfield Yard.

Signs located at MP 428.0 (Avard Subdivision), MP 411.2 (Cherokee Subdivision), and at MP 430.5 (Creek Subdivision) designate the Remote Control Area at Cherokee Yard.

Remote Control Zone (RCZ), Springfield Terminal—RCZs are established on the west end of Springfield yard that involve the following tracks: Remote Control Zone #1 North drill track Switching lead

The west limit of RCZ #1 is at the clearance point on the north drill track located at MP 240.2 on the Cherokee Subdivision. The east limit is located at the bowl divider switch at MP 239.8 on the Cherokee Subdivision, a distance of approximately 3200 ft.

The west limit of RCZ #2 is at the bowl divider switch at MP 239.8 on the Cherokee Subdivision. The east limit on the north bowl lead is at the clearance point at the west end of track 130 located at MP 239.8 on the Cherokee Subdivision, a distance of approximately 1150 feet.

The west limit of RCZ #3 is at the bowl divider switch at MP 239.8 on the Cherokee Subdivision. The east limit of the south bowl lead is at the clearance point at the west end of track 101 located at MP 239.8 on the Cherokee Subdivision, a distance of approximately 1150 feet.

RCZ signs will be placed at the outside limits of the RCZ to designate the limits. There will not be an RCZ sign displayed at the bowl divider switch designating the line between RCZ #1 and RCZs #2 and RCZ #3 because of clearance restraints. All movements entering all RCZs must determine whether the RCZ is activated before entering (i.e. movements out of the west end of any bowl tracks must determine if RCZ 2 or RCZ 3 is activated before fouling the North or South Bowl Leads).

Activation/Deactivation Procedure—The remote control operator located in the west hump tower will control activation and deactivation of the zone after verification that the RCZ is clear of all movement and all entering switches are lined away from the RCZ. Movements desiring to enter the RCZ must contact the remote control operator on Channel 48 prior to entering the limits. If unable to contact the remote control operator, contact the tower yardmaster to determine if the RCZ is activated. RCO crews going on duty at the West hump will brief with the tower yardmaster regarding the status of all RCZs.

Transfer of an Activated RCZ—An activated RCZ may be transferred to another remote control foreman (i.e. shift change). A job briefing must be conducted each time the RCZ is transferred between remote control operators.

UP Detour Trains—UP detour trains operating between Tulsa and Claremore comprised entirely of empty equipment with DP power on the rear of the train are restricted to a maximum speed of 40 MPH.

Hot Weather Train Handling (See Item 1(D) for Hot Weather Speed Restrictions)—In high temperature situations, the lateral stability of the track may be compromised by heavy or sudden brake or throttle applications. Except in emergency, when ambient temperature exceeds 90 degrees, avoid heavy dynamic or air brake applications, or throttle positions in excess of what is needed to start train movement and gradually achieve maximum speed. Additionally, when ambient temperature exceeds 95 degrees, the use of dynamic braking is limited to 50 percent of the maximum allowable and the use of independent engine braking is to be avoided where practicable. Sources for temperature information include trackside warning detector reports, dispatcher, or local maintenance personnel.

Train Make-Up Restriction—The following train make-up restriction applies to all trains exceeding 7000 tons operating on the Afton, Cherokee, Cuba, Thayer North, Fort Scott and Birmingham Subdivisions:If more than 1/2 of the cars in the front 1/2 of the train (by car count) are equipped with End-of-Car cushioning:A. All conventional cars (non-multi-platform) in the front half of

the train must weigh more than 45 tons.B. All platforms of multi-platform cars in the front half of the

train must be loaded.Note: This restriction applies to all trains, including those otherwise exempt by Springfield Division General Order from all other train make-up instructions contained in BNSF System Timetable Instruction #47 or System General Orders.

Close Clearance Locations—Do not ride the side of equipment at the following locations due to close clearance:Afton Farmland Coop tracks 5601-5602Tulsa Cherokee Yard Tracks 1101-1102, 1070-1071

Between the hours of 2000 and 0800, trains are prohibited from being tied down or left in the vicinity of Big Bend and Geyer Road in Kirkwood. If uncertain as to when train will be relieved, contact the Lindenwood Yardmaster or Train Dispatcher. Trains spotting C&H Lumber Co. may at anytime cut train off at Big Bend and Geyer Road for spotting purposes. If necessary to tie down a train in Kirkwood, it must be left at the I-270 area.

Valley Park—Eastward trains approaching Lindenwood notify yardmaster by radio.

The Valley Park switching area, line segment 1102, is controlled by the Missouri and Valley Park Railroad. Prior to entering yard tracks, the “Nest” Track 1745, or the “Old Main” 1744, contact the Missouri and Valley Park Railroad Coordinator on channel 48, or the Lindenwood Yardmaster and be governed by their instructions. Operation on these tracks will be under GCOR Rule 6.28, Movement on Other Than Main Track. The west leg of the West Wye at Valley Park is restricted to 5 MPH and no more than two 6-axle locomotives are permitted on the Wye at one time.

MP 19.7—Whistle freely for road crossing at MP 19.7 (This is to protect trucks crossing to sand plant).

Pacific—When taking siding, if train length is within 800 feet of siding length, crew member must inspect train to ensure rear of train is clear of main track.

Dixon—Westward trains taking siding, if train length is within 800 feet of siding length, crew member must inspect train to ensure rear of train is clear of main track.

Richland—Do not leave cars or engines standing within 350 feet on either side of Dublin Lane Road at MP 158.8.

Strafford—Westward trains approaching Springfield Yard must notify the yardmaster via radio.

Kissick—An electronic scale at MP 248.9 automatically weighs loads arriving and empties leaving the Power Plant. Do not exceed speed of 3 MPH from a point 250 feet approaching the scale pit from either direction until the entire train has passed a point 75 feet beyond the scale pit. Speed signs have been placed at the points indicated above and advance warning signs have been placed 500 feet preceding the point where 3 MPH applies. A three-color light positioned on a mast on North side of track adjacent to the scale equipment building indicates train speed in relation to weighing. A green indication means 3.5 MPH and below, yellow means 3.5 to 4 MPH, red means 4 MPH or above during scale operation. A crew member must observe this color light indicator while the scale is in operation to see the speed of 3 MPH is not exceeded in order to properly weigh cars. A speed of 4 MPH or greater will render the scale inoperative. Do not power, brake or use locomotive sand while passing over the scale pit.When delivering trains the inbound crew will report their train arrival using VTR to track 7001 when the final cut of the train has been delivered and spotted at the Kissick facility. Leave at least one copy of the train list on the conductor’s desk. Spot the first half of the train on the Industrial Lead between the Runaround Track switches. Spot the second half of the train by pulling through the Chute Track and into the Runaround Track stopping when the rear of the train clears Evans road crossing. Leave the second half secured with the locomotives attached. Set hand brakes from the south car on both portions. Leave a note on the locomotive control stand for the power plant employees giving them the count of cars with had brakes applied on each portion. As information, the end of track for the Industrial Lead is approximately 1100 feet beyond the Runaround Track south switch. The Runaround Track is about 4500 feet between clearance points. All manual dump cars must be switched to the rear of the train. The outbound crew

must double the train together and perform an initial terminal air test where applicable. The outbound crew will report their train departure using VTR when the train is pulled from the Kissick facility. Any bad orders should be reported using VTR and by notification of the mechanical desk and the Springfield Yardmaster. The mechanical desk can be contacted using the VTR by staying on the line after reporting the bad order and responding “No” when asked “Have you notified the mechanical desk?”

Springfield—The crossing on the Pass adjacent to the Old Memphis Passenger Main at East Trafficway must be protected by a crew member on the ground at the crossing.

Radio communications to the Tower Yardmaster from road crews, or between yard and road crews within the terminal, will be conducted on Channel 66 only.

Overhead clearance on the locomotive turntable in Springfield Yard is not sufficient for all rail equipment. Tri-level automotive equipment will not clear overhead structure on this turntable. Stop movement before placing equipment on the turntable and make visible observation to ensure it will clear overhead structure.

Remote Control Operations—Signs located at MP 242.0 (Cherokee Subdivision), MP 233.0 (Cuba Subdivision), MP 198.0 (Ft. Scott Subdivision), MP 206.0 (Thayer-North Subdivision) designate the Remote Control Area at Springfield Yard.

Signs located at MP 9.1 (Cuba Subdivision), MP 8.5 (River Subdivision), MP 2.1 (Hannibal Subdivision) designate the Remote Control Area at Lindenwood Yard, St. Louis, MO.

Remote Control Zone (RCZ), Springfield Terminal—RCZs are established on the west end of Springfield yard that involve the following tracks: Remote Control Zone #1 North drill track Switching lead

The west limit of RCZ #1 is at the clearance point on the north drill track located at MP 240.2 on the Cherokee Subdivision. The east limit is located at the bowl divider switch at MP 239.8 on the Cherokee Subdivision, a distance of approximately 3200 ft.

The west limit of RCZ #2 is at the bowl divider switch at MP 239.8 on the Cherokee Subdivision. The east limit on the north bowl lead is at the clearance point at the west end of track 130 located at MP 239.8 on the Cherokee Subdivision, a distance of approximately 1150 feet.

The west limit of RCZ #3 is at the bowl divider switch at MP 239.8 on the Cherokee Subdivision. The east limit of the south bowl lead is at the clearance point at the west end of track 101 located at MP 239.8 on the Cherokee Subdivision, a distance of approximately 1150 feet.

RCZ signs will be placed at the outside limits of the RCZ to designate the limits. There will not be an RCZ sign displayed at the bowl divider switch designating the line between RCZ #1 and RCZs #2 and RCZ #3 because of clearance restraints. All movements entering all RCZs must determine whether the RCZ is activated before entering (i.e. movements out of the west end of any bowl tracks must determine if RCZ 2 or RCZ 3 is activated before fouling the North or South Bowl Leads).

Activation/Deactivation Procedure—The remote control operator located in the west hump tower will control activation and deactivation of the zone after verification that the RCZ is clear of all movement and all entering switches are lined away from the RCZ. Movements desiring to enter the RCZ

Page 28: Springfield Division - FOBNR.ORGfobnr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/SPRINGFIELD-07-072209.pdf · SPRINGFIELD DIVISION—No. 7—July 22, 2009—Afton Subdivision SPRINGFIELD DIVISION—No.

must contact the remote control operator on Channel 48 prior to entering the limits. If unable to contact the remote control operator, contact the tower yardmaster to determine if the RCZ is activated. RCO crews going on duty at the West hump will brief with the tower yardmaster regarding the status of all RCZs.

Transfer of an Activated RCZ—An activated RCZ may be transferred to another remote control foreman (i.e. shift change). A job briefing must be conducted each time the RCZ is transferred between remote control operators.

Head End Device Test Stations—Test station for head end devices has been set up at the Springfield radio shop. This station simulates signals transmitted from a rear of train device and is operational 24 hours per day. Test procedure is as follows:Test Number: ................ Dial 90000Check:........................... All Segments lit

Brake pipe pressure is 125 pounds MARKER ON, BATTERY LOW AND STOPPED are lit

Hot Weather Train Handling (See Item 1(D) for Hot Weather Speed Restrictions)—In high temperature situations, the lateral stability of the track may be compromised by heavy or sudden brake or throttle applications. Except in an emergency, when the ambient temperature exceeds 90 degrees, avoid heavy dynamic or air brake applications, or throttle positions in excess of what is needed to start train movement and gradually achieve maximum speed. Additionally, when the ambient temperature exceeds 95 degrees, the use of dynamic braking is limited to 50 percent of the maximum allowable and the use of independent engine braking is to be avoided where practical. Sources for temperature information include trackside warning detector reports, the dispatcher, or local maintenance personnel.

Loaded Unit Train Restrictions—Loaded unit trains are not permitted on the sidings at Eureka, Rook, Stanton, Cuba, Rosati, Dillon, Dixon, Jury, Swedeborg, Stoutland, Sleeper, Niangua, Northview and Strafford; nor are they permitted on the auxiliary tracks at Richland.

Train Make-Up Restriction—The following train make-up restriction applies to all trains exceeding 7000 tons operating on the Afton, Cherokee, Cuba, Thayer North, Fort Scott and Birmingham Subdivisions:If more than 1/2 of the cars in the front 1/2 of the train (by car count) are equipped with End-of-Car cushioning:A. All conventional cars (non-multi-platform) in the front half of the train

must weigh more than 45 tons.B. All platforms of multi-platform cars in the front half of the train must

be loaded.Note: This restriction applies to all trains, including those otherwise exempt by Springfield Division General Order from all other train make-up instructions contained in BNSF System Timetable Instruction #47 or System General Orders.

Close Clearance Locations—Do not ride the side of equipment at the following locations due to close clearance:Springfield tracks 118-119, 120-121, 127-128, General Electric track 1880 first car length MFA Elevator track 3333 last 2 car lengths

Close Track Centers—Do not ride the side of equipment on the following tracks unless the adjacent track is known to be clear:St. Louis Lindenwood Yd 902-903, 904 thru 906, under Arsenal Bridge 910 thru 912, 913-914, 915-916, 917 thru 919 and 920-921• Employees working in these close clearance areas must call for

protection from the Lindenwood Yardmaster to ensure there will be no conflicting movements on adjacent tracks.

• Employees required to work or ride with hi-wides or other dimen-sional cars between these tracks under the Arsenal bridge must cross over their cars, with proper protection, to avoid these close clearances.

Flash Flood Warnings—The following locations have been identified as “critical areas” subject to flash floods and washouts as outlined in System Special Instructions, Item 33: MP 18.0 to MP 142.0 MP 174.0 to MP 190.5

Sandusky—The east 500 feet of track 1921 are out of service.

Keokuk—Do not cut off cars between MP 0.0 and MP 4.0 on the Mooar Line unless they are in an industry track or a side track which is protected by a derail at all times.

Gregory—When meeting at Gregory, if the eastward train has not arrived, the westward train must hold back of the crossing at MP 166.55 until the eastward arrives in the siding. Eastward trains that will stop at Gregory must hold back 250 feet west of the West Crossing until the Westward train they are meeting has cleared the East Switch at Gregory and until they have a track warrant.

West Quincy—Except when track and time is in effect, when necessary to hand operate either switch at the west end of West Quincy both switches must be operated by hand as outlined in GCOR Rule 9.13.1.

Hannibal— The Manual Interlocking at Hannibal is controlled by the NS Railway Hannibal Bridge Control Operator. If necessary to contact the NS Control Operator, use channel 22 or call 573-221-1224. The NS Control Operator does not routinely monitor Channel 87.

Dundee—Cars must be left 500 feet from the road crossing at Dundee. The clearances are marked.

When setting out at Dundee, loads of gypsum must be left first out on the west end of track 2. All empties must be left on track 2 east of the loads. If track 2 will not hold all of the empties, empties must be placed on the siding. If there is not enough room on track 2 for the loads, enough empties must be moved from track 2 to the siding so the loads can be spotted to the west end of track 2.

Machens—Trains on the siding must stop and protect the crossing at MP 28.1 unless the crossing flashers are operational.

Machens Coal Facility—The crew will head into the facility off the main track of The Hannibal Subdivision at MP 25.3 (East Union Electric). The crew will report their train arrival when the wheels of the lead locomotive enter the customer siding. The train will proceed around the loop at the plant counter clock-wise not exceeding 5 MPH looking out for switches lined against their train movement. The train will stop at the crossing (cat house crossing) at the sign posted just before the dumping pit. Secure the train and give the train to the customer at the coal facility. The crew must report their departure when the lead wheels of the locomotive enter the Hannibal Subdivision main track at East Union Electric (MP 25.3). Any bad orders should be reported using VTR and by notification of the mechanical desk. The mechanical desk can be contacted using the VTR by staying on the line after reporting the bad order and responding “No” when asked “Have you notified the mechanical desk?”

West Alton—Use track 157 when setting out Pittsburg coil steel cars. Track 157 is the designated track when reporting the setout to the VTR Reporting System.

North St. Louis—Stop signs have been placed on Yard Track Main 5 just clear of the ACT Storage Tracks. All trains must stop. If ACT is unloading, crews must ascertain that it is safe to pass prior to fouling the south end of the ACT Storage Tracks by contacting the ACT or the Lindenwood Yardmaster. Watch for close clearance on track 214 on the south side of the ACT dump shed.

ACT Facility at North St. Louis—The maximum speed through the dumper is 1 MPH. The outbound crew from West Quincy must bring with them an ETD with a fully charged battery to use on their return trip. The crew must report their train arrival when the lead wheels arrive on the ACT lead track at MP 8.2 just prior to Humboldt Street. Call the utility yard foreman on 87K-line channel prior to spotting the train. The crew must fold in the visors and mirrors because they will not clear the dumper walls. The locomotive will pull through the dumper until Humboldt crossing is clear, setting over whatever number of cars it takes to clear, leaving the head car of the remaining portion at the entry end of the dumper barrel. The number of cars to be set over will be determined by the length of the inbound train (i.e.: 118 car train will set over 8 cars, a 122 car train will set over 12 cars, leaving 110 cars on the ACT lead. At this point the locomotives must be in setout mode. When the BNSF crew informs ACT the locomotives have been secured, ACT will make the cut on the remaining cars on the lead. ACT will then pull the disconnect pin and inform the BNSF crew that they are clear to pull the first 8-12 cars out of the dumper. ACT will close the air line on last 110 cars. The BNSF crew will then pull the first 8 or 12 cars down past the first switch and back the locomotive with the first 8 to 12 cars behind the dumper, leaving sufficient room for ACT to unload the train portion sitting in the dumper. The BNSF crew will then secure the 8 to 12 cars and the locomotive

behind the dumper. The BNSF crew will take the crew van to the north end and set up the locomotive on the rear of the remaining 110 cars. BNSF will release the train to ACT and ACT will set up the positioning system to begin unloading the train. No arms are to be lowered into the train until this time. ACT will unload the 110 cars using the same procedure as we currently use with the exception of placing cars on the empty track far enough down as to clear the switch for the new siding. ACT will inform the BNSF MCO at the cut, 45th car unloaded, approximately 2.5 to 3 hours before the end of the train. ACT will complete unloading the last 8 to 12 cars and shove the cars down to clear the first switch south of the dumper. When the BNSF outbound crew arrives, the BNSF outbound crew will take the locomotive sitting at the entry end of the dumper building and take the locomotive up through the switch at the cement plant. The BNSF crew will double the train together and depart on the empty side. The train will arrive with DP power and leave as conventional power on the head end of the train. The crew must report their train departure when the lead wheels arrive on the BNSF main track at MP 8.2, just after Humbolt Street.Any bad orders should be reported using VTR and by notification of the mechanical desk. The mechanical desk can be contacted using the VTR by staying on the line after reporting the bad order and responding “No” when asked “Have you notified the mechanical desk?”

Grand Ave. Interlocking and Track 32—Rule 9.17 applies on Track 32 between Grand Avenue and Tower Grove Avenue within manual interlocking limits. All movements within these limits including the use of hand throw switches must be authorized by TRRA Dispatchers.

St. Louis—The St. Louis Lindenwood Yardmaster will monitor BNSF Radio Channel No. 95. Trains arriving and departing Lindenwood should remain on Channel 95 within the St. Louis Terminal complex, and when necessary to communicate with the Dispatcher, use the proper channel.

All West Quincy, Chaffee, Springfield and Lindenwood road crews going on duty at Lindenwood must contact the Lindenwood Yardmaster and report the time they were dropped off at their power or at their outbound train. Outbound crews not having a ride will tell the Yardmaster immediately.

Signs located at MP 137.7 and MP 134.2 designate the Remote Control Area at West Quincy.

Hot Weather Train Handling (See Item 1(D) for Hot Weather Speed Restrictions)—In high temperature situations, the lateral stability of the track may be compromised by heavy or sudden brake or throttle applications. Except in an emergency, when the ambient temperature exceeds 90 degrees, avoid heavy dynamic or air brake applications, or throttle positions in excess of what is needed to start train movement and gradually achieve maximum speed. Additionally, when the ambient temperature exceeds 95 degrees, the use of dynamic braking is limited to 50 percent of the maximum allowable and the use of independent engine braking is to be avoided where practical. Sources for temperature information include trackside warning detector reports, the dispatcher, or local maintenance personnel.

7. Special ConditionsMutual—Equipment design requires that the northward signal at Mutual MP 9.1 remain a control signal and therefore, if the northward signal at MP 9.1 displays a Stop indication, trains must contact the train dispatcher per Rule 9.12.1. Authority from the train dispatcher to pass the signal northward does not give authority beyond the signal. Movement north of MP 9.1 is governed by GCOR Rule 6.28.

Alpha—Northward trains must notify the Lindenwood yardmaster by radio on channel 95.

Rush Island Power Plant—The inbound crew will report their train arrival using VTR when the leading wheels exit the main track (MP 47.3) onto the Rush Island loop track. Leave at least one copy of train list on conductor desk. Spot the train by proceeding on the loop track counter clock-wise (stay to the right) and stop the lead locomotive under the “six Belt” just short of the dirt road crossing. During winter operations as designated by GTB/TCM, spot the train by proceeding on the loop track clock-wise (stay to the left) and stop the lead locomotive just past the “heater chute”. The outbound crew will report their train departure using VTR when the leading wheels exit the Rush Island loop track onto the main track (MP 47.3). Any bad orders should be reported using VTR and by notification of the

mechanical desk. The mechanical desk can be contacted using the VTR by staying on the line after reporting the bad order and responding “No” when asked “Have you notified the mechanical desk?” When inspecting the rear DP locomotive at Rush Island you can drive across the tracks at Six Belt Crossing which will allow you to drive adjacent to the train ending up at the rear locomotive.

Neelys—Engines cannot be operated inside building, P & G Plant.

Rockview, MP 141.7—The manual Interlocking at Rockview is controlled by the UPRR dispatcher. Use channel 96/96*34 to contact the UPRR dispatcher.

Sikeston Power Plant— The crew delivering the loaded train to Sikeston must contact the Sikeston Power Plant Control Room at (573)471-5000 with a current ETA prior to departing Chaffee. The train must stop at ZZ (Salcedo) road crossing. The crew must contact the utility via radio channel 85 prior to stopping and be governed by their instructions. The inbound crew will report train arrival using VTR when the leading wheels exit the main track (approximately. MP 165) onto the Sikeston loop track. Spot the train by proceeding around the entire loop counter clock-wise (stay to the right) bringing the entire train onto the loop and stop the locomotive clear of the dirt crossing just short of the dump shed. Report the spot time using VTR when spotting is completed. Prior to departing, the outbound crew must contact the Sikeston Power Plant on Channel 85 that they are ready to depart and be governed by their instructions. The outbound crew departing Sikeston will report the train departure using VTR when the leading wheels exit the Sikeston loop track onto the main track (approximately. MP 165). Any bad orders should be reported using VTR and by notification of the mechanical desk. The mechanical desk can be contacted using the VTR by staying on the line after reporting the bad order and responding “No” when asked “Have you notified the mechanical desk?” At the Sikeston Power Plant, BNSF employees are only responsible for coupling the air dump hoses between the engines and the head car. Railcars not laced from the head car to the rear of the train are the responsibility of the Sikeston Power Plant personnel.

Hayti–Highway crossing warning devices located at Cleveland Street, MP 212.4, activate for main track movements through the road crossing only.

Remote Control Operations—Signs located at MP 9.1 (Cuba Subdivision), MP 10.5 (River Subdivision), and MP 2.1 (Hannibal Subdivision) designate the Remote Control Area at Lindenwood Yard, St Louis, MO.

Empty Auto Racks—Empty auto racks must be handled on the rear of the train when more than five are coupled together and the trailing tonnage behind this group exceeds 1500 tons.

Ballast and Ground Movement Detectors—Ballast and ground movement detectors monitor from MP 133.4 to MP 133.6. If conditions alarm these detectors, southward signal 1321 and northward signal 1338 will display flashing red aspects. Ballast and ground movement detectors monitor from MP 134.4 to MP 134.7. If conditions alarm these detectors southward signal 1339 and northward signal 1380 will display flashing red aspects. Trains must not pass these signals and they must notify the dispatcher. Trains may not proceed until the track has been inspected and released for movement.

Sidings Prohibited for Key Trains—Neelys

Hot Weather Train Handling—(See Item 1(D) For Hot Weather Speed Restrictions.) In high temperature situations, the lateral stability of the track structure may be compromised by heavy or sudden brake or throttle applications. Except in an emergency, when the ambient temperature exceeds 90 degrees, avoid heavy dynamic or air brake applications, or throttle positions in excess of what is needed to start the train movement and gradually achieve maximum speed. Additionally when the ambient temperature exceeds 95 degrees, the use of dynamic braking is limited to 50 percent of the maximum allowable, and the use of independent engine braking is to be avoided where practical. Sources for temperature information include trackside warning detector reports, the dispatcher, or local maintenance personnel.

Loaded Unit Train Restrictions—Loaded unit trains are not permitted on the sidings at Crystal, McBride, Neelys and Brooks, except loaded unit ballast trains and loaded unit rail trains are permitted on the sidings at Crystal City and McBride.

Close Clearance Locations—Do not ride the side of equipment at the following locations due to close clearance:Marston E.B. Gee track 3560 overhead grain chutes

Close Track Centers—Do not ride the side of equipment on the following tracks unless the adjacent track is known to be clear:St. Louis Lindenwood Yd 902-903, 904 thru 906, under Arsenal Bridge 910 thru 912, 913-914, 915-916, 917 thru 919 and 920-921• Employees working in these close clearance areas must call for

protection from the Lindenwood Yardmaster to ensure there will be no conflicting movements on adjacent tracks.

• Employees required to work or ride with hi-wides or other dimen-sional cars between these tracks under the Arsenal bridge must cross over their cars, with proper protection, to avoid these close clearances.

Flash Flood Warnings—The following locations have been identified as “critical areas” subject to flash floods and washouts as outlined in System Special Instructions, Item 33: None

West Plains—At MP 314.7, Oxide Track at Howell Ave., the crossing devices are not activated by movement on this track. Before occupying this crossing, a crew member must be on the ground to warn highway traffic.

Remote Control Operations—Signs located at MP 242.0 (Cherokee Subdivision), MP 233.0 (Cuba Subdivision), MP 198.0 (Ft. Scott Subdivision), MP 206.0 (Thayer-North Subdivision) designate the Remote Control Area at Springfield Yard.

Head End Device Test Stations—A test station for head end devices has been set up at the Springfield radio shop. This station simulates signals transmitted from a rear of train device and is operational 24 hours per day.

Test procedure is as follows:Test Number: ................ Dial 90000Check:........................... All Segments lit

Brake pipe pressure is 125 pounds MARKER ON, BATTERY LOW AND STOPPED are lit

Hot Weather Train Handling (See Item 1(D) for Hot Weather Speed Restrictions)—In high temperature situations, the lateral stability of the track may be compromised by heavy or sudden brake or throttle applications. Except in an emergency, when the ambient temperature exceeds 90 degrees, avoid heavy dynamic or air brake applications, or throttle positions in excess of what is needed to start train movement and gradually achieve maximum speed. Additionally, when the ambient temperature exceeds 95 degrees, the use of dynamic braking is limited to 50 percent of the maximum allowable and the use of independent engine braking is to be avoided where practical. Sources for temperature information include trackside warning detector reports, the dispatcher, or local maintenance personnel.

Loaded Unit Train Restrictions—Loaded unit trains are not permitted on the siding at Cedar Gap due to the grade.

Train Make-Up Restriction—The following train make-up restriction applies to all trains exceeding 7000 tons operating on the Afton, Cherokee, Cuba, Thayer North, Fort Scott and Birmingham Subdivisions:If more than 1/2 of the cars in the front 1/2 of the train (by car count) are equipped with End-of-Car cushioning:A. All conventional cars (non-multi-platform) in the front half of

the train must weigh more than 45 tons.B. All platforms of multi-platform cars in the front half of the

train must be loaded.Note: This restriction applies to all trains, including those otherwise exempt by Springfield Division General Order from all other train make-up instructions contained in BNSF System Timetable Instruction #47 or System General Orders.

HLCS—Hy-Rail Limits Compliance System (HLCS) is in effect on the Thayer North Subdivision.

Remote Control Operations—Signs located at MP 483.1 (Thayer South Subdivision) and MP 500.0 (Birmingham Subdivision) designate the Remote Control Area at Tennessee Yard.

Hot Weather Train Handling—(See Item 1(D) for Hot Weather Speed Restrictions.) In high temperature situations, the lateral stability of the track structure may be compromised by heavy or sudden brake or throttle applications. Except in an emergency, when the ambient temperature exceeds 90 degrees, avoid heavy dynamic or air brake applications, or throttle positions in excess of what is needed to start train movement and gradually achieve maximum speed. Additionally, when the ambient temperature exceeds 95 degrees, the use of dynamic braking is limited to 50 percent of the maximum allowable, and the use of independent engine braking is to be avoided where practical. Sources for temperature information include trackside warning detector reports, the dispatcher, or local maintenance personnel.

Loaded Unit Train Restrictions—Loaded unit trains are not permitted on the sidings at Sedgwick, Jonesboro and Madlock.

Key Trains—Key trains must not use the siding at Madlock.
