INSTRUCTIONS GOVERNING TRAINS MOVING AGAINST THE CURRENT OF TRAFFIC When necessary to allow a train to follow another train against the current of traffic, when such movements are made by train order, signalman must bring train to full stop before clearing any signal. Unless otherwise provided, all trains moving against the current of traffic will stop before crossing drawbridges and proceed only under pilot protection of the bridge tender; and maintain speed not to exceed 5 miles per hour crossing draw span and until-rear car of train is clear. MARKERS Three- and Four-Track Territory Tracks number reading from north to south. Granton Jct.--Lundys Lane......3---1---2---4 Bergen Archways....................1---3---4---2 Trains will display markers in accordance with Operating Rules 19 and D19. Figure 9 will apply to trains running on Tracks 3 and 4, yellow or green next to Tracks I and 2. Trains between Croxton Tower and Jersey City Terminal Tower display markers red to rear on all tracks-Rule D19 modified accordingly. Rule D19 is amplified as follows: Yellow or green lights to the front and side and red lights to the rear must be displayed before a train fouls the main track on which the current of traffic is in the direction the tram is moving. CLASSIFICATION SIGNALS The display of two white flags and two white lights, as required under Operating Rule 211 will be omitted in single track territory where no trams are scheduled, and in double or multiple track territory. TRAIN REGISTERS EdgewaterBeaver; LakeHainesburg Jct. North Hawthorne; Sussex Swartswood Jet.; Butler M. & U. R. R. Jct.; Stroudsburg Trains not scheduled to stop at station at which train registers are located may register by throwing off train register slip, except when displaying signals for following section when train must stop and conductor register train in person. When registering trains, write out in full the color of signals displayed; when not displaying signals write out in full "No Signals," sign name and initials, and use no ditto marks. SUPERIORITY OF TRAINS Eastward trains are superior to westward trains of the same class unless otherwise specified. CLEARING OF TRAINS Trains will not leave initial station on single track without a clearance Form A or B when operator is on duty. Extra trains except passenger extras will start from their initial point and proceed on two or more tracks without running orders. MOVEMENTS OF TRAINS Trains making maximum time, or receiving Special Orders to run at a higher rate of speed, will run expecting to overtake trains making minimum or schedule time. Trains entering passing siding in single track territory to permit opposing trains to pass, will move with caution over first crossing protected by automatic flagman or bell, after leaving siding, if such crossing is within 2000 feet of the end of siding. Employes' motor ears operating through interlocking plants will not proceed over switches without proper signal indication, and when passing tower will notify towerman. On two or more tracks, employes' motor cars will not pass an interlocking tower while train is passing, unless they receive hand signals from towerman. The four tracks between Croxton Tower and Jersey City Terminal Tower are reversible; trains in either direction will proceed from these points on receipt of proper signal indication, and be governed by intermediate automatic signals. Rule D261 of operating rules. Tracks between JR Tower and OS Tower through Bergen Tunnel are reversible; trains in either direction will proceed from these points on receipt of proper signal indication and be governed by signal located at west end of Tunnel. When the top light or arm of a two-unit signal or the top or middle light or arm of a three-unit signal cannot be cleared for a main track movement, after the train has come to a full stop, the lever-man may allow the train to proceed on a restricted speed signal under Rule 290 of Operating Rules. RULES FOR THE OPERATION AND SUPERVISION OF AIR BRAKE, STEAM HEAT EQUIPMENT AND CAR LIGHTING SYSTEMS Effective 1931 Running test provided for in Rule 525 will be made before descending grade entering Bergen Archways in both directions. RATING FOR ORDINARY TRAINS Train tonnage will be determined by Chief Train Dispatcher. Trains will be given maximum rating unless otherwise directed. GRADE CROSSINGS Except where interlocking signals are in operation, trains and engines must come to full stop not less than 200 nor more than 800 feet from railroad crossing at grade. Automatic grade crossing interlocked signals, NY&GL Ry. and NYS&W. RR at Pompton Jct. Two-unit color light grade signals located 200 feet from crossing to govern movement m each direction on both railroads. Signals consist of a top unit indicating stop or proceed, and a lower unit of a fixed red light as location signal. A time release to work in conjunction with grade crossing signals is located in box at crewing, with instructions for operation. A train finding signal in stop position, member of crew will proceed to crossing and after ascertaining no train approaching on other railroad, will work release and train proceed on signal indication. In event signal fails to clear after release has been operated, train will move over crossing under flag protection. Automatic block signal rules dated July 1, 1930, will govern. Telephone located at crossing connects with Butler station. Trains operating over DL&W RR at Hyper-Humus will come to full stop at Stop sign and be governed by a tilting board signal, located at intersection of NYS&W RR and DL&W RR. Horizontal position indicates Stop. 45-degree diagonal position indicates proceed after stopping. This signal is interlocked with DL&W RR signals. DL&W RR signals must be placed in Stop position by operating lock type lever before setting tilting board in proceed position. Normal position Proceed for DL&W RR Stop for NYS&W RR. 6.00 A.M.-11.00 A.M., 12.01 P.M.-3.00 P.M. Signal operated by Agent. During hours Agent not on duty and on Sundays and Holidays, signal will be operated by member of train crew. After NYS&W RR train has cleared crossing, tilting board signal must be immediately set in horizontal pesition and DL&W RR signal in proceed indication. Trains operating over L&H Ry. crossing at Sparta Jct. will come to full stop at Stop sign and be governed by a tilting board signal, located at intersection of NYS&W RR and L. & H. Ry. Horizontal position indicates Stop. 45-degree diagonal petition indicates proceed. This signal is equipped with shunt control and when in proceed position, will place L&H Ry home signals in Stop position. Conductor will communicate with L. & H. Ry. Train Dispatcher on telephone at west end Station, obtain permission to proceed, then operate signal with lever on side of signal pole. After train is clear of crossing, signal to be restored to Stop position and locked. Interlocking tower, Franklin Jet., closed 10.00 P.M. until 6.00 A.M.During this period signal indication will be: NYS&W RR Stop Indication L. & H. Ry. Proceed Indication To operate over L. & H. Ry. Crossing, member of crew will obtain permission from L. & H. Ry. Train Dispatcher by telephone located on pole adjacent to crossing. When permission is obtained from L. & H. Ry. Train Dispatcher and train proceeds over L. & H. Ry., signal will be shunted to Stop position as soon as train on NYS&W RR Track occupies circuit. CROSSOVER MOVEMENTS In case of emergency, when it becomes necessary for a passenger train to make an irregular move at Croxton N. Y. S. & W. R. R. trains from eastbound to westbound N. R. R. or vice versa at Croxton Tower. Train will be brought to a stop and operate 5 miles per hour through crossover. SPECIAL ORDER BOOKS AND BULLETIN BOARDS Eng.
