Note. The words and figures in italics in the forms are examples, indicating the manner in which the forms are to be filled out.
Example (1)
No 1 Eng 601 take siding and meet No 2 Eng 311 at B.
Extra 95 East take siding and meet No 5 Eng 310 at B.
Extra 625 East take siding and meet Extra 231 West at B.
Work Extra 625 East take siding and meet Extra 231 West at B.
Example (2)
No 1 Eng 601 and No 3 Eng 301 take siding and meet No 2 Eng 604 and No 4 Eng 606 at C.
Extra 95 West take siding and meet No 2 Eng 604 and No 4 Eng 606 at D.
No 1 Eng 601 take siding and meet No 2
Eng 604 at B take siding and meet No 4 Eng 605 at C
and take siding and meet No 6 Eng 606 at D.
The order must direct which train shall take the siding or otherwise clear the main track at each meeting point. When necessary, the order may contain instructions, "pull by with . . . . . . . cars back in and meet", "take siding on . . . . . . . track and meet", instead of "take siding and meet".
When the order contains the instructions for the train to "pull by with . . . . . . . cars back in and meet", such orders will require the opposing train holding the main track to "lay-back" the specified number of car lengths until the train required to take siding has backed into clear on passing siding or other specified track and will relieve the crew of the train backing in of providing flag protection to pull by the entrance switch.
Example (1)
No 1 Eng 601 has right over No 2 Eng 312 G to S.
If the second named train reaches the point last named before the other arrives, it may proceed, keeping clear of the schedule of oppsing train as required by rule.
Example (2)
Extra 37 East has right over No 3 Eng 301 F to A.
The regular train must not go beyond the point last named until the extra train has arrived, unless directed by train order to do so.
These orders give right to the train first named over the other train between the points named. If the trains meet at either of the designated points, the first named train must take siding, unless the order otherwise prescribes.
Example (3)
Extra 72 East has right over Extra 91 West Z
| to A and wait at | P | until | 210 pm |
| N | 325 pm |
The first named extra train must not pass the designated waiting points before the times given, unless the second named extra train has arrived. The second named extra train must clear the time specified at the designated points or any intermediate station not less than five minutes.
Example (3) must not be used unless the first named train is given right over the opposing extra the entire limits either of the extras is authorized to run.
Note to Examples (1), (2) and (3). When there is no passing siding at the station last named, the order shall state the specific point to which right is conferred.
Example (1)
| No 1 Eng 601 wait at | G | until | 959 am | |
| H | 1030 am | |||
| I | 1055 am. |
The train named must not pass the designated points before the times given. Other trains receiving the order are required to clear the times specified not less than 5 minutes.
Example (2)
No 2 Eng 604 wait at H until 959 am for No 1 Eng 601.
The first named train must not pass the designated point before the time given, unless the other train has arrived. The train last named is required to clear the time specified not less than 5 minutes.
Example (3)
Westward trains except Extra 5700 West wait at A until 701 pm.
Example (3) permits the designated train to occupy the main track without rear end flag protection against the trains specified until the time stated in the order has expired. Should a train, leaving a point from which rear end protection is provided, pass another train in the same direction it must protect against such train.
Example (1)
Eng 99 run extra A to F.
Example (2)
Engs 97 and 99 coupled (or Eng 97 Eng 99 assisting) run extra A to F.
Example (3)
Engs 97 and 99 run as two extras A to F.
Example (4)
After Extra 77 East arrives at A Eng 99 run extra A to B.
Extra 99 West must not leave A until Extra 77 East has arrived or the order has been annulled.
Example (5)
Eng 97-99 run extra A to F and return to C.
The extra train must go to F before returning to C.
Example (6)
Eng 77 run extra A to Z.
Eng 97-99 run extra A to G and return to A. Do not pass Extra 77 West.
Before leaving, Extra 97-99 West must either observe Extra 77 West leave A or be advised by the Train Dispatcher that Extra 77 West has departed from A. Information on line 2 of Clearance Form A (where used) will not indicate that the preceding extra has departed.
Form G train orders give extras trains the right to run only to entrance switch of passing siding at stations named. When it is desired that the extra train shall continue to a point beyond entrance switch or where there is no passing siding, a specific point will be designated.
Example (1)
Eng 292 works extra 645 am until 545 pm between D and E.
The work extra must, whether standing or moving, protect itself against extra trains within the working limits in both directions as prescribed by the rules. The time of regular trains must be cleared.
This form may be modified:
Example (2)
Eng 292 works extra 645 am until 545 pm between D and E not protecting against eastward extra trains.
The work extra will protect only against westward extra trains. The time of regular trains must be cleared.
Example (3)
Eng 292 works extra 645 am until 545 pm between D and E not protecting against extra trains.
Protection against extra trains is not required. The time of regular trains must be cleared.
Example (4)
Eng 292-294 works extra 645 am until 545 pm between D and E not protecting against extra trains except protects against Extra 173 East after 915 am and protects against Extra 210 West after 230 pm.
If Extra 173 East or Extra 210 West enters the working limits before the time specified in the order, they must protect against Work Extra 292-294.
The work extra will protect against the trains named after the time specified in the order. The time of regular trains must be cleared.
When a work extra has been instructed by order not to protect against extra trains, and afterward, it is desired to have it clear the track for (or protect against) a designated extra train, an order may be given in the following form:
Example (5)
Work Estra 292 clears (or protects against) Extra 76 East between D and E after 210 pm.
Extra 76 East must protect against Work Extra 292 if working limits are entered before 210 pm. After 210 pm, Extra 76 East will run expecting to find the work extra clear of the main track, or protecting itself, as the order may require.
To enable a work extra to work upon the time of a regular train, the following form will be used:
Example (6)
Work Extra 292 protects against No. 55 (or .... class trains) between D and E.
The work extra may work upon the time of the train or trans mentioned in the order, and must protect itself against such train or trains. The regular train or trains receiving the order will run expecting to find the work extra protecting itself.
When a work extra is to be given exclusive rights over all trains, the following form will be used:
Example (7)
Work Extra 292 has right over all trains between D and E 715 pm until 115 am.
This give the work extra exclusive right between the points designated between the times named.
When Example (7) is used, other trains must not enter the working limits until the time expires or the order is annulled.
The working limits should be as short as practicable; to be changed as the progress of the work may require.
Work extras must give way to all trains as promptly as practicable.
Work Order Form S-H will be addressed and delivered to all trains affected by the order.
Should the order instruct a work extra to not protect against extra trains in one or both directions, extra trains must protect against the work extra; if the order indicates that the work extra is protecting itself against other trains, they will run expecting to find the work extra protecting itself.
Under Form S-H the limits of the work extra extend only to the entrance switch to the passing siding at each end of the working limits, unless the train order specifies some other specific point at each end of the working limits. Such point will be specified when there is no passing siding.
Work orders are not required where Rule 271 is in effect. See Rule 275.
Example (1)
Eng 292 works extra on . . . . track (or tracks) 645 am until 545 pm between D and E and has right over all trains.
This gives the work extra the exclusive right to the track, or tracks mentioned between the points designated between the times named, and will be addressed and delivered to all trains affected by the order. Other trains must not enter the working limits until the time expires or the order is annulled.
Under Form D-H the limits of the work extra extend only to the entrance switch to the passing siding at each end of the working limits, unless the train order species some other specific point at each end of the working limits. Such point will be specified when there is no passing siding.
Example (1)
Hold all (or . . . . ward) trains.
When a train has been so held, it must not proceed until the order is annulled, or an order given to the Operator in the form:
Example (2)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . may go.
These orders will be addressed to the Operator at the point where trains are to be held and will be delivered to the Conductors and Engineers of all trains affected.
Form J will be used only when necessary to protect motor cars, hold trains until order can be given, or in case of emergency.
Example (1)
No 1 due to leave A Feb. 29 is annulled A to Z.
Example (2)
No 1 due to leave A Feb. 29 has arrived at C and is annulled C to Z.
The schedule annulled becomes void between the points named and cannot be restored.
Form K must not be combined with other forms of train orders.
Example (1)
Order No 10 is annulled.
If an order which is to be annulled has not been delivered to a train, the annulling order will be address to the Operator, who will destroy all copies of the order annulled but his own, and write on that:
Annulled by order No. . . . . . . .
An order which has been annulled must not be reissued under its original number.
When train orders are annulled on other than the date of issue, the date as well as the number of the order annulled, must be designated in the annullment order.
This form will be given by adding to prescribed forms the words "instead of . . . . . . . .".
Example (1)
No 1 Eng 601 take siding and meet No 2 Eng 604 at C instead of B.
Example (2)
No 1 Eng 601 wait at D until 1130 am instead of 1115 am.
An order which has been superseded must not be reissued under its original number.
Example (1)
Do not occupy the main track after . . . . (Time) . . . . (Day) . . . . (Date) unless you have a copy of . . . . Division Timetable No. . . . . (or supplement . . . ., Page/s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . to . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Division Timetable No. . . . .).
Form Q must not be combined with other forms of train orders.
D-R. Providing for a Movement Against The Current of Traffic
Example (1)
No 1 Eng 601 has right over opposing trains on . . . . track C to F.
The designated train must use the track specified between the points named and has right over opposing trains on that track between those points. Opposing trains must not leave the point last named or nay intermediate point until the designated train arrives.
This form may be modified as follows:
Example (2)
After No 4 Eng 311 arrives at C No 1 Eng 601 has right over opposing trains on . . . . track C to F.
The train to be moved against the current of traffic must not leave the first named point until the arrival of the first named train.
The order must name the specific point to which the train is authorized to run, such as interlocking limits, crossover, passign siding switch, or other designated point.
A train must not be moved against the current of traffic until the track on which it is to run has been cleared, and is maintained clear of all other trains and engines within the designated limits until the diverted train or trains have arrived.
Exception: Following movements may be permitted complying with Rule 232.
Where Rule 93-A is in effect, a copy of the order must be given to the Yardmaster on duty or to all trains and engines within yard limits. Such trains and engines must not occupy the track on which the designated train or trains are to run until the diverted train or trains have arrived.
Example (1)
Do not pass . . . . . . (specific point) . . . . . . without permission of Train Dispatcher.
The train or trains addressed must not pass the designated point without verbal permission of the Train Dispatcher.
Permission to pass must not be given before train reaches the designated point unless both Engineer and Conductor can be notified.
This form of order may be used as follows:
In Manual Block Territory, to establish a block for a following train at an intermediate point between open train order offices when it is known the preceding train is beyond the point named;
In any territory, to provide protection for M of W work or motor car movements at points intermediate to open train order offices or controlled absolute block signals.

When the designated train has passed, the Operator must immediately display the proper train order signal indication and then report to the Train Dispatcher:
"No . . . . by . . . . m. Red (or yellow) east (or west, north or south)."
This record must be made immediately on the train order by the Operator; and in the train order book by the Train Dispatcher.
Example (3)
Display yellow train order signal for . . . . . . . . (Direction) . . . . . . . . .
Example (3) will be used when all restricting orders for the direction designated have been delivered or annulled and the Operator has non-restricting orders on hand.
Examples (1), (2) and (3) apply to three-position train order signals. Example (1) also applies to two-position train order signals.
Form T must not be combined with other forms of orders, except Form L addressed to the Operator.
