[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by wabash1</i> <br /><br />macguy <br /> <br /> Your answer is real close. the only part that i dont agree with is the horn. if the horn fails you swap out the engine. and the bell rule is one we dont go by on a regular basis. but you was so fast at answering the question. continue on with the rest of the bell rule . what if the bell is inoperative? ( dont work) what do you do then? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Engine Bell Failure <br />-Should the engine bell fail on the lead unit, repairs must be made as quickly as possible. If the train cannot be repaired, the train may proceed to the first point where repairs can be made. The engine bell, if available on another unit in the engine consist, will be run continuously while moving to the repair point. <br /> <br />Again, that's right out of CROR (Canadian Rail Operating Rules). Rule 13.1 <br /> <br />Also keep in mind that some companies may have special instructions or GOI that differ from the CROR. I am not sure about any particular differences, but companies are allowed to make rules more strict in their own operating intructions, they cannot however make them more lax. <br /> <br />Hope that helps.
