[quote user="dehusman"]There are different rules for "transfer cuts", but doing work enroute is not a transfer cut and the trip has to be less than 20 miles. [/quote] As a side note, could you point me to that rule in the CFRs.  This is all very interesting. 49 CFR 232.215... Also is there a list of exceptions somewhere?  When picking up a cut of cars, or a single car, do you perform the airbrake test only on the cars being picked up before coupling to the rest of the train, or do you couple to the whole train then do the test?   I know it says "when added to the train" but can that be legally interpereted as when the locomotive and one car is coupled to the cut or single car?   Edit:  Nevermind, 209 b (3) is kinda clear on that.
