NORAC Flashcards
In CSS territory with fixed automatic block signals, trains not equipped with operative cab signals must approach the next signal at Limited Speed.
LIMITED CLEAR
CLEAR
Proceed not exceeding Normal Speed
LIMITED CLEAR
Proceed at Limited Speed until entire train clears all interlocking or spring switches, then proceed at Normal Speed.
In CSS territory with fixed automatic block signals, trains not equipped with operative cab signals must approach the next signal at Limited Speed.
MEDIUM CLEAR
Proceed at Medium Speed until entire train clears all interlocking or spring switches, then proceed at Normal Speed.
In CSS territory with fixed automatic block signals, trains not equipped with operative cab signals must approach the next signal at Medium Speed.
SLOW CLEAR
Proceed at Slow Speed until entire train clears all interlocking or spring switches, then proceed at Normal Speed.
In CSS territory with fixed automatic block signals, trains not equipped with operative cab signals must approach the next signal at Medium Speed once they have left the interlocking limits.
APPROACH LIMITED
Proceed approaching the next signal at Limited Speed.
APPROACH LIMITED
Proceed approaching the next signal at Limited Speed.
APPROACH MEDIUM
Proceed approaching the next signal at Medium Speed.
APPROACH MEDIUM
Proceed approaching the next signal at Medium Speed.
APPROACH SLOW
Proceed approaching the next signal at Slow Speed.
Trains exceeding Medium Speed must begin reduction to Medium Speed as soon as the engine passes the Approach Slow signal.
MEDIUM APPROACH MEDIUM
Proceed at Medium Speed until entire train clears all interlocking or spring switches, the approach the next signal at Medium Speed.
Trains exceeding Medium Speed must begin reduction to Medium Speed as soon as the Medium Approach Medium signal is clearly visible.
APPROACH
Proceed prepared to stop at the next signal.
Trains exceeding Medium Speed must begin reduction to Medium Speed as soon as the engine passes the Approach signal.
MEDIUM APPROACH
Proceed prepared to stop at the next signal.
Trains exceeding Medium Speed must begin reduction to Medium Speed as soon as the Medium Approach signal is clearly visible.
SLOW APPROACH
Proceed prepared to stop at the next signal.
Slow Speed applies until entire train clears all interlocking or spring switches, then Medium Speed applies.
ADVANCE APPROACH
Proceed prepared to stop at the second signal.
Trains exceeding Limited Speed must begin reduction to Limited Speed as soon as the engine passes the Advance Approach signal.
RESTRICTING
Proceed at Restricted Speed until entire train has cleared all interlocking and spring switches (if signal is an interlocking or CP signal) and the entire train (for NJ Transit only – NORAC says “leading wheels”) has: 1. Passed a more favorable fixed signal. OR 2. Entered non-signaled DCS territory.
In CSS territory. trains with operative cab signals must not increase speed until the train has run one train length or 500 feet (whichever distance is greater) past a location where a more favorable cab signal was received.
STOP AND PROCEED
Stop, then proceed as in Restricting (above)
In CSS territory. trains with operative cab signals must not increase speed until the train has run one train length or 500 feet (whichever distance is greater) past a location where a more favorable cab signal was received.
CLEAR TO NEXT INTERLOCKING
Trains with inoperative cab signals, automatic train stop, or speed control must proceed on fixed signal indication (and cab signal indication, if operable) not exceeding 79 MPH.
Trains with inoperative cab signals must approach the next home signal prepared to stop, unless Approach Normal (Rule 280b) is displayed on a distant signal prior to the home signal.
STOP SIGNAL
STOP
APPROACH NORMAL
Trains without operative cab signals must proceed on fixed signal indication not exceeding 79 MPH
CAB SPEED
Proceed in accordance with cab signal indication.
Reduce speed to not exceeding 60 MPH if Cab Speed cab signal is displayed with out a signal speed, or if cab signals are not operative.
