504 - General Signal Rules

504.16

If a train has the permission of the train dispatcher to make a reverse movement within the limits of the same block, the movement must be made at restricted speed with a crewmember located on the rear of the movement unless all of the following conditions are met:
 
  1. Move will not exit the block,
  2. Move will not exceed 10 MPH,
  3. Move will not exceed one train length up to one mile,
  4. Move will not occur in or enter main track yard limits,
  5. Move will not occur on or enter a drawbridge,
  6. Move will not occur in or enter working limits, and
  7. There are no intervening highway-rail or pedestrian crossings at grade.
504.4

Trains may operate according to the indication of the next fixed signal governing the movement when:
 
  1. The next governing signal can be plainly seen,
  2. The rear of the movement has passed through all crossovers and turnouts, and
  3. The train is not required to operate at restricted speed.
504.34

When removing unattended equipment from a controlled track, advise the train dispatcher of:
 
  1. The number of locomotives or cars moved, and
  2. The identifying initials and number of the locomotive or car at each end of such equipment.
504.24

When a train is stopped at remotely controlled railroad crossing at grade in which train dispatcher does NOT have control over the intersecting line and no immediate conflicting movement is evident, comply with special instructions.  If there are no special instructions:
 
  1. If equipped with a time release:
    1. The leading end of train must not be more than 250 feet from signal and remain at that location during the time-release interval,
    2. Operate time release,
    3. If signal changes; proceed, and
    4. If signal does not change by the expiration of the time-release interval, receive permission from the train dispatcher to pass the Stop signal.  Then, pull by signal at least 30 feet, stopping clear of the intersecting line.  After waiting a period of time equal to the time-release interval, the train may proceed at restricted speed to the next signal, or if no next signal, until the entire train clears turnouts and crossovers and leading end of train reaches the opposing Absolute signal.
  2. If not equipped with a time release:
    1. Receive permission from the train dispatcher to pass the Stop signal,
    2. Pull by Stop signal at least 30 feet, stopping clear of the intersecting line,
    3. Wait 10 minutes, and
    4. If no conflicting movement, then proceed at restricted speed to the next signal, or if there is no next signal, until the entire train clears turnouts and crossovers and leading end of train reaches the opposing Absolute signal.
504.2

Trains must approach the beginning of signaled territory prepared to comply with the first signal in service.
504.28

Promptly report a signal imperfectly displayed to the train dispatcher and regard the signal as the most restrictive indication that can be conveyed by that signal, with the following exceptions:
 
  1. If only one indication is possible, that indication governs, or
  2. When the arms of a semaphore signal can be seen, they govern, or
  3. When one colored light is displayed in the cluster of lights of a color position light signal, it means the same as two lights in the cluster, or
  4. When one or more lower units of a color light signal aspect is dark, the aspect is to be observed as though the lights that should be displayed were displaying red. This does not apply to Rule C-1290(A).
504.22

After permission has been confirmed, the train must operate at restricted speed until the entire train has cleared all controlled point switches or spring switches and the leading wheels have:
 
  1. Passed a more favorable fixed signal, or
  2. Entered non-signaled territory, or
  3. If in cab signal territory, trains with operative cab signals must not increase their speed until they have run one train length or 500 feet (whichever distance is greater) past a location where a more favorable cab signal was received.
504.15

During the time a dual-controlled switch is in hand position, switching movements may pass signals that govern the switch indicating Stop at restricted speed without permission of the train dispatcher. After restoring the switches to motor or power position, a train may proceed on signal indication or permission of the train dispatcher.

 
504.32

Obtain permission from the train dispatcher before leaving equipment unattended on a controlled track and provide the following information to the train dispatcher for the dispatcher record:
 
  1. Specific locations of both ends of the equipment,
  2. Identifying initials and number of the locomotive or the car at each end of the equipment, and
  3. Total number of locomotives and cars.
504.5

A signal indication requiring restricted speed applies until the leading end of the train reaches the next governing signal.  When a signal aspect requiring restricted speed is displayed by a signal governing movements into non-signaled territory, it will apply until:
 
  1. The entire movement clears turnouts and crossovers, and
  2. Leading end of the train reaches the end of signaled territory.
504.11

A train may occupy a specific track segment and move in both directions when authorized by the train dispatcher under the following conditions:
 
  1. The train must be clear of the track segment before the time limit expires and the train dispatcher must be advised,
  2. The authority to work does not relieve the crew of complying with block signal indications, and
  3. A train that has reported clear must not occupy the track segment again without receiving a new authority.
504.17

A train may make a reverse movement within the limits of the same block without the permission of the train dispatcher, if all of the following conditions are met:
 
  1. The movement must be made at restricted speed, and
  2. A crewmember or other qualified employee is positioned on the ground ahead of the leading end prepared to stop any opposing movement.
504.3

Movements not governed by fixed signal indication must receive authorization from the train dispatcher then proceed at restricted speed to the:
 
  1. Next signal, or
  2. End of signaled territory if the movement is to enter non-signal territory, or
  3. In cab signal territory, trains may proceed in accordance with cab signal indication after clearing limits.
504.1

General signal rules apply where special instructions, dispatcher message, or Form EC-1 designate the following Authorities for Movement are in effect:
 
  1. Main Track Yard Limits Signaled (YL-S), or
  2. Track Warrant Controlled with Automatic Block Signals (TWC-ABS), or
  3. Current of Traffic (COT), or
  4. Traffic Control (TC), or
  5. Control Point (CP) Signal.
504.21

To pass a Stop signal, a train must have permission of the train dispatcher.  The conductor or locomotive operator must contact the train dispatcher and follow his or her instructions.  A Stop signal may be passed at restricted speed without permission of the train dispatcher when necessary to recouple to own train located immediately beyond the signal and no power operated switches are involved.
504.30

Train crews observing an improper signal aspect permitting a train to proceed must:
 
  1. Bring train to a safe and normal stop before passing the signal,
  2. Notify the train dispatcher and be governed by his or her instructions, and
  3. Provide warning for approaching trains until relieved by the train dispatcher.
504.8

If a train enters a block on a signal indication that does not require restricted speed then stops, the train must:
 
  1. In COT, TC, and CP Territory -Proceed prepared to stop at the next signal, and not exceed 40 MPH unless governed by a slower speed. The train must not exceed 40 MPH until the next signal is visible, that signal displays a proceed indication, and the track to that signal is clear.
  2. In YL-S and TWC-ABS Territory- Trains must proceed at a speed that permits stopping within one-half the range of vision, stopping short of a train, a car, an obstruction, on-track equipment or a Stop signal and not exceed 40 MPH unless governed by a slower speed to the next signal. The train must not exceed 40 MPH until the next signal is visible, that signal displays a proceed indication, and the track to that signal is clear.
  3. In Cab Signal Territory- The train may proceed in accordance with cab signal indication.
504.36

Special instructions, dispatcher message, or Form EC-1 may temporarily remove block signals and signal rules from service. When signal system is suspended, establish an alternate method of operation and notify all trains affected.
504.12

Trains or equipment on sidings and other tracks must be left standing clear of the insulated joints at the clearance point.
504.26

Trains may use return to train indicators to return to a train left standing immediately beyond a railroad crossing at grade. The indicator conveys no information as to the position of power-operated switches; however, when indicator light displays a white light, the movement may pass the signal displaying Stop and return to the train provided:
 
  1. Permission is received from the train dispatcher to operate in hand position any power switches that are not lined for the desired route, or
  2. The movement may be made over power switches in motor or power position when the switches are lined for the desired route, or

  3. A release located on the side of a signal at the railroad crossing at grade, if so equipped, is operated and a signal for a reverse movement over the crossing is received.

  3. Approach all public crossings at grade that are equipped with automatic grade crossing warning devices prepared to stop and provide protection, 
  4. Examine switch points to ensure they are lined and secured before making facing point movements over spring switches, and
  5. Operate switches and derails in accordance with rules governing operating switches and derails by hand.
504.19

Promptly notify the train dispatcher when a signal displays a Stop aspect unless the reason for such aspect is apparent.
504.23

When a train is stopped at a Stop signal at a remotely controlled railroad crossing at grade and the train dispatcher has control of the intersecting line, the train must receive permission to pass the Stop indication.
504.40

If rails are rusted or cars have been left standing and wheels are rusted, crewmembers must confer with the train dispatcher.  If rails are rusted, signal maintainers must notify train dispatchers.
504.27

If a train operating on a signal indication more favorable than Approach encounters a Stop signal or a signal requiring restricted speed, the train must:

  2. Report the incident to the train dispatcher.
504.33

The train dispatcher may grant authority to a train to remove unattended equipment from a controlled track once the train dispatcher verifies that a clear understanding exists among crewmembers as to the location of the standing equipment. The train must:
 
  1. Stop one-quarter mile from the standing equipment, and
  2. Approach the location of the standing equipment at restricted speed.
504.25

When a train is stopped at an automatic railroad crossing at grade and no conflicting movement is evident, comply with special instructions.  If no special instructions:
 
  1. The leading end of train must be stopped not more than 250 feet from the Stop signal and it must remain at that location during the time-release interval,
  2. Operate the time release in accordance with instructions posted at the location or found in timetable special instructions,
  3. If signal changes; proceed, and
  4. If the signal does not change at the expiration of the time-release interval:

    2. If no conflicting movement is evident, the train must pull by the Stop signal at least 30 feet, stopping clear of the intersecting line,
    3. Train must wait a period of time equal to the time-release interval, and
    4. If no conflicting movement is evident, the train may then proceed at restricted speed to the next signal or, if there is no next signal, to a point in which the entire train is through turnouts and crossovers and until the leading end of the movement reaches the opposing Absolute signal.
504.6

Employees must observe block signals.  When a train fails to actuate a signal properly:
 
  1. Stop the train immediately,
  2. Attempt to stop other trains affected, and
  3. Notify the train dispatcher.

    1. The leading end of the movement reaches the home signal, and
    2. It can be seen that the indication of the home signal permits the train to proceed.
  2. Passes a distant signal and reduces speed to 10 MPH or less approaching a home signal not ata railroad crossing at grade:
    1. In other than cab signal territory, the train must:
      1. Approach the home signal prepared to stop,

504.39

Trains occupying rusty rails, or rails covered with sand, oil, or other matter may also fail to shunt the track circuits.  Employees must be especially vigilant to detect and report such conditions and, unless otherwise instructed by the train dispatcher, they must provide proper protection.
504.38

Under certain conditions, a single car or a single light locomotive unit may fail to activate the block signals or the highway-rail crossing at grade warning devices.  These movements must not be stopped on sand.  If it is necessary to use sand to stop, the locomotive or car must be moved clear of the sanded portion of the rails immediately after stopping.
504.29

When a fixed signal is absent from the place where it is usually displayed, the most restrictive indication that can be given by that signal governs the movement.  Immediately report the absence of the signal to the train dispatcher.
504.18

Permission of the train dispatcher is required for a train to make a reverse movement outside the limits of the block. Before granting permission, the train dispatcher must determine that the designated track is clear and there are no authorized opposing movements. The train must move at restricted speed until the leading end reaches a more favorable signal.
504.31

Obtain permission from the train dispatcher to assist a standing train.  After receiving permission from the train dispatcher, a locomotive may be permitted in the same block to assist a standing train provided:
