Questions and CORRECT Answers
Rule 4 - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Each timetable, from the moment it takes effects,
supersedes the preceding timetable. A train of the preceding timetable thereupon loses both
right and schedule. Thereafter, it may only procede as provided by Rule 97.
Rule 5 - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Not more than two times are given for a train at any
station. Where one is given it is, unless otherwise indicated the leaving time. Where two
times are given they are the arriving and leaving times.
Rule 11 - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔On single track, a train finding a fusee burning red on
or near its track must stop, extinguish the fusee and proceed at Restricted Speed.
On multiple tracks, a train finding a fusee burning red on its track must stop, extinguish the
fusee and proceed at Restricted Speed.
If found near or adjacent to its track, it must stop and then proceed at Restricted Speed.
Because of fire hazard, lighted fusees must not be left on bridges or trestles.
If a fusee is found burning on or near its track, the Block Operator or Train Dispatcher must
be notified of the conditions as soon as practical without causing delay to the train.
Rule 13 - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A continuous blast of the engine whistle or horn is an
emergency signal for all crew members to apply air and hand brakes on the train.
Rule 19 - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔The following signals will be displayed on the rear of
every train at all times as a marker:
1. A fixed electric marker illuminated to show red on each side of the rear of the train
or
2. An electric flasher iluminated to show amber to the rear of the train.
A train on which the markers become inoperative will display on the rear of a train a red flag
by day and a red light by night. A red light will be displayed to the rear of all trains while
passing through tunnels.
, RULE 26 - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A blue signal is a blue flag, blue light or a blue tag by
day or a blue light or an illuminated blue tag by night.
Blue signals signify that workmen are on, under or between rolling equipment and when
displayed:
1. The equipment must not be coupled to or moved.
2. Other equipment must not be placed on the same track so as to reduce or block the view of
a blue signal.
3. Rolling equipment must not pass a blue signal.
Blue signals must be displayed by each craft or group of workmen prior to their group going
on, under or between rolling equipment and may only be removed by the same craft or group
that displayed them.
Rule 27 - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔The absence of a fixed signal at a place where it is
usually shown or when the lights illuminated do not conform with an aspect provided for, the
signal must be regarded as displaying the most restrictive aspect that can be given by that
signal.
Except as indicated below:
1. If there are insufficient lights to conform with an aspect, but the aspect can be postively
determined, the indication of that aspect will govern.
2. If there are insufficient lights to conform with an aspect, but it can be positively
determined that the aspect is more favorable than Stop-and-Proceed, trains may proceed as
though a Restricting signal were displayed.
Rule 28a - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A train must stop clear of a fixed signal-indicating
stop. When a train is stopped by a home signal or interlocking signal, the conductor or
engineer must immediately ascertain the cause. Except as provided by special instruction, a
train must not pass a fixed signal indicating Stop (Rule 292) unless authorized by Rule 241,
Clearance Card Form A or Form L authority.
Rule 28b - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔If a train has passed a distant signal and stops for any
reason, including a stop at a passenger station or reduces its speed to less than 10 MPH it
must:
1. Approach the next home signal prepared to stop,
And
2. Not exceed a speed of 30 MPH unless the speed of the train is further restricted.
