Mark, <br /> <br /> 1: The Running track is controlled by the Brewer yardmaster. A crew must have the yardmaster's permission to occupy the Runner. <br /> 2: The dispatcher controlls the signals at either end of the Runner; however, the dispatcher must collaborate with the yardmaster on what trains go on the main and which will use the runner. At the terminal, it is refered to as the yardmaster's track. I believe that if the dispatcher really needs to meet trains in the area he/she can make arrangments with the yardmaster. Usually trains that have to make set outs or pickups are the only ones that use the runner besides yard jobs. There are cases when two Intermodal trains meet and one will be lined for the runner. <br /> 3: There are three crossovers between the signals on the runner that connect the main track to the runner and none of these crossovers are controlled or electric lock. I have seen no end "CTC" signs. The runner also has a turnout at each end of the yard that goes towards the lead. If you still have questions or something I have said is not clear I wll grab my timetable and type it out for you; I may have missed something important anyway. This is a good discussion topic, I hope we can keep this going with more "Q" and "A."
