QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Dispatching a switch job
Q.
At our last modular gathering, I gave a track warrant
"Check box 2: Proceed from XY to Appaloosa Junction; Check
box 10: Clear main track at last named point," to the crew of
a local. Appaloosa Junction was under yard limits from a little
bit farther right as the photo (1) shows, right down to the red
elevator at the upper edge of the photo.
My question: Can the local begin with its switching job in the
yard limits with this track warrant, or must the crew report
the limits clear and begin the switching after getting a new
track warrant with a "Work between ..."?
Or more general: Is the direction that is intended in a
"Proceed from ___ to ___ " instruction also in effect in the
yard limits?
