How is a train authorized to enter or occupy any track where CTC
is in effect? (10.1)
By a control operator and by signal indication
If a signal governs movement over a hand operated switch that is
not electrically locked, must the control operator authorize the train
to enter or occupy any track where CTC is in effect before the
switch is opened? (10.1)
yes
After the switch is opened, if the signal does not display a proceed
indication, a crew member must
wait 10 minutes at the switch. After the 10 minute wait if the signal does
not display a proceed indication,
move the train at restricted speed and notify the control operator.
How would a train be authorized to enter CTC between block
signals? (10.1)
• A train to enter track between block signals as follows: "(Train) at
(location) has authority to enter (track)
and proceed (direction)." After entering the track, the train is authorized
to move only in the direction
specified.
or
• Track and Time under Rule 10.3 (Track and Time).

indications within track and time limits? (10.3)
May pass a signal within the limits displaying Stop and Proceed
indication without stopping at restricted speed.
What is required if a train needs to make a movement in the
opposite direction from which the block was entered within track
and time limits? (10.3)
