/.48.1 Remote Control Power Switch (RCPS) - placeholder - AnswerAlerts
The train dispatcher will receive an alert if a train has authority over a RCPS and the
status of the switch changes to out-of-correspondence (indeterminate). When an alert is
received or an unidentifiable track indication appears on the switch:
• Promptly determine the location of the train with authority over the identified switch.
• If the train has passed the identified switch, perform a track release to cancel the alert.
• If the train is closely approaching (7 miles or less) the identified switch, the train
dispatcher must notify the crew to stop short of the switch, consistent with good train
handling. This instruction may be given verbally.
• If the train is not closely approaching (more than 7 miles) the identified switch, issue a
new track warrant to the affected train that voids the authority over the switch and ends
the authority at the alerting switch.
• Work between authority issued to trains must end at any out-of-correspondence switch
or switch with an unidentifiable track indication.
Authority may be issued beyond the identified switch only after employee has hand-
operated the switch and lined it for their movement. GCOR 9.13 applies when the
switch position indicates to be indeterminate.
/.46.1 When issuing track permits, train dispatchers may contact the last train to move
with the current of traffic through the limits and verify the train is complete. False/True -
AnswerTrue. to verify the limits are clear or by visual inspection
