Front #280
GCOR 14.3
An eastbound train has a track warrant with a box 2: "Proceed from Manteca to ESS Axilla on the Main Track." Is the crew allowed to foul the ESS Axilla?
No, the crew must stop prior to fouling the ESS Axilla
Yes, but only if another train isn't in the immediate area
Yes, ESS Axilla is listed as the last named point, so the crew can foul and operate the train over the switch
Answer: No, the crew must stop prior to fouling the ESS AxillaFeedback: - In this example, the eastbound train must stop prior to fouling the ESS Axilla - A train that is traveling westbound would be able to use the ESS Axilla to clear the main track - GCOR 14.3 states, "A train or engine must not foul a switch at either end of the limits where an opposing train may use the same switch to clear the main track"
