400 Rules Flashcards
Describe rule 409
Where speed controlled trains are operating with fixed automatic block or interlocking signals (except as affected by rule 410)
Describe rule 410
Where speed controlled trains are operated without automatic block signals
Rule 400
The ASC must not be broken or the sleep control made in operative except as provided for in rules 405, 409 and 410 or when authorized by the general superintendent transportation. Rule 409Will be in effect within interlocking limits, except as affected by rule 410
Rule 408
The movement of a train not equipped with ASC apparatus is prohibited, except when authorized by the general superintendent transportation
Rule 403
If cab signal and fix signal indications conflict the more restrictive indication will govern
Rule 404
Signal indications do not supersede fixed signal indications except when the cab signal indicator changes to a more restrictive or more favorable indication after passing a fixed signal.
Rule 407
When the cab signal indicator changes to a more favorable indication the speed must not be increased until the train has run its length
Rule 405
The Signal indicator will not indicate conditions ahead when an engine is:
A) Pushing cars
B) train is operating against the current of traffic
Rule 401
Form ASCDT-1
The certification form is valid for a maximum of 24 hours
It is the responsibility of the engineer and the conductor to know that the ASC has been properly tested and certified prior to the departure of any train from its initial terminal.
In the event of an enroute ASC failure the engineer will in addition to being governed by rule 409 or 410 remove form ASCDT-1 slip from the cab of the locomotive upon completion of the trip
As per the Long Island Railroad, how long is a speed control certification form valid for?
24 hours
After receiving a more favorable cab signal indication, when made the engineer increase speed?
When the train has run its length
How must the train be governed after receiving a cab signal indication that conflicts with a wayside signal?
The more restrictive indication will govern
When do cabs signal indication supersede signal indications?
When conditions affecting the movement of the train with in the block change after passing the fixed signal.
True or false
Except as affected by rule 410, rule 409 is in effect in all interlocking where speed control rules are in effect.
True
The results of a speed control departure test must be recorded on form_____________
ASCDT-1
A speed control certification form is valid for a maximum of____hrs. However, engineers are required to perform a speed control departure test after more then____hrs has elapsed since the previous test was performed.
24,24
If the ASC initial departure test fails or if the system is in operative in either non-speed control territory, or in an interlocking with speed control where a train will be entering non-speed control territory upon leaving the interlocking, how far may that train proceed to?
The train may proceed to the first interlocking in speed control territory or to its final destination in non-speed control territory
What speed must a train be operated at if the cab signal indicator displays a 15 code?
Restricted speed, until a more favorable cab signal indication is received
How much the train be governed after receiving a cab single indication that conflicts with a wayside signal?
The more restrictive indication will govern
When do indications on cab signal indicator supersede fixed signal indications?
When the cab signal indicator changes to a more restrictive or more favorable indication after passing the fixed signal.
Under what circumstances will the cab signal indicator not predict conditions ahead?
When the engine is:
(A) pushing cars, or
(B) A train is operating against the current of traffic. { passenger 40 mph, freight 30 mph when against the current of traffic}
True or false
If the ASC is cut out for a train to operate against the current of traffic, it must be cut back in upon entering speed control territory. The train must operate as though a speed failure had occurred until the ASC switch has been resealed.
False
When the train reenters ASC territory the malfunctioning properly and there after will proceed as though the ASC malfunction had occurred
After receiving a more favorable cab to signal indication, when may the engineer increase the speed of the train?
When the train has run its length
Who may authorize the movement of a train which is not equipped with ASC apparatus?
General superintendent transportation
True or false
In 410 territory, the conductor or Engineer must always get permission to cut out the ASC.
False
410e
