GCOR 9.9A

A train operating in ABS on a clear signal stops to make a set out. Once the set out is complete, how should the train proceed to next signal?

  1. At reduced speed until the next signal is visible, that signal displays a Proceed indication, and the track to that signal is clear
  2. At restricted speed until the next signal is visible, that signal displays a Proceed indication, and the track to that signal is clear
  3. At maximum authorized speed prepared to stop at the next governing signal
  4. At restricted speed until the leading wheels pass the next signal, that signal displays a Proceed indication, and the track to that signal is clear

Answer: At restricted speed until the next signal is visible, that signal displays a Proceed indication, and the track to that signal is clear
Feedback:
Multiple trains can be authorized in the same limits in ABS provided they are all moving in the same direction. GCOR 9.17 allows a train authorized on the main track to open a switch, wait 5 minutes, and then proceed on to the main track if they do not hear or see movement approaching. A train that has been delayed could potentially encounter another train that has complied with 9.17.
