Answer: Derails on both ends must be left locked in the non-derailing position.
Feedback:
- Anytime there are fixed derails in a siding, those derails must be left locked in the non-derailing position unless unattended equipment is left there. - Having the derails in the non-derailing position allows a train to enter and exit the siding efficiently.
