Out-of-gauge trains and trains that have route restrictions Flashcards
What are the bellcodes used uniquely for out-of-gauge loads, and what do they mean? TS1-2 (5)
2-6-1 : train that will be signalled 2-6-2 or 2-6-3 for part of its journey.
2-6-2 : train that cannot be allowed to pass trains signalled 2-6-2 or 2-6-3, on an opposite or adjacent line.
2-6-3 : train requiring opposite or adjacent line to be blocked.
2-1-6 : train with speed or route restrictions only.
1-2-6 : opposite line, or an adjacent line used in the same direction, to be blocked for the passage of train conveying out-of-gauge load.
What must you do if there is a train carrying an out-of-gauge load, without you having details of the restrictions that apply to the movement and how it must be signalled? TS1-15.1 (1)
You must not allow the out-of-gauge movement to proceed.
When dealing with an out-of-gauge train, what letter will the train identity (headcode) include? TS1-15.2 (2)
X.
What additional bellcodes can be used for out-of-gauge loads, and what are they? TS1-2 and TS1-15.4.1 (2)
2-4 : blocking back inside home signal.
1 : one beat of the bell and put BIN, after receiving train out of section.
When you are to signal a train which needs the adjacent line to be blocked, what bellcode must you send to the Signal Box in advance? TS1-15.4.1 (1)
1-2-6.
If you are at Signal Box ‘B’, and the out-of-gauge movement is to proceed to Signal Box ‘C’, what must you do and what must you not do when receiving the bellcode to block the adjacent line from Signal Box ‘A’? TS1-15.2.1 (2)
You must send 1-2-6 to Signal Box ‘C’.
You must not acknowledge 1-2-6 from Signal Box ‘A’.
If you are at Signal Box ‘B’, and the out-of-gauge movement is to proceed to Signal Box ‘C’; when do you acknowledge the bellcode to Signal Box ‘A’ to block the adjacent line? TS1-15.4.1 (1)
Once Signal Box ‘C’ has acknowledged 1-2-6 from Signal Box ‘B’.
Once you have acknowledged the bellcode to block the adjacent line (you are at Signal Box ‘B’ and train is to travel to Signal Box ‘C’), what must you do with your block indicator, and what must you do with the adjacent line? TS1-15.4.1 (2)
Place the block indicator for the adjacent line to train on line.
Keep the adjacent line clear until the out-of-gauge train has passed.
When the bellcode to block the adjacent line has been used, what bellcode will you be using to signal the out-of-gauge train? TS1-15.4.1 (1)
2-6-3
If you are at the end Signal Box which will be used for an out-of-gauge train which will foul your clearing point, and you receive the bellcode for blocking the adjacent line; a) what regulation must you use, b) what is the bellcode for that regulation, c) would you acknowledge the bellcode to block the adjacent line before or after carrying out the additional regulation? TS1-15.4.1 (3)
a) out of gauge load
b) 1-2-6
c) after
After an out-of-gauge train has passed and you receive train out of section from the Signal Box in advance, what should you do with regards to the adjacent line that is blocked? TS1-15.4.1 (2)
Give one beat of the bell for the adjacent line.
Place the block indicator for the adjacent line to normal.
When dealing with a train that has route restrictions, what letter will the train identity (headcode) include? TS1-15.6 (1)
Q.
When signalling a train with route restrictions, what must you make sure of during its journey? TS1-15.6 (1)
(You must deal with the train normally, but) make sure that it follows the planned route.
If you need to signal a train that has route restrictions over a running line that is different from that planned, what must you find out from the Driver? TS1-15.6 (1)
You must find out from the Driver whether the restrictions on that train’s movement allow the train to operate over an alternative route.
