Short train = no FRED?

CSX Engineer, <br /> <br />Is it not correct that you always, at a minimum on any FRA-regulated rail line, need to have an accurate air gage on board the train? I do not mean to say that it needs to be connected (cut-in) to the rear end of the train throughout the entire trip, but rather that one is available for use should you have to set more than one string of freight or passenger cars out en route, which would then requrie a Class 2 brake inspection. <br /> <br />I know that EOT's are not required on all trains, unless you are operating a train where EOT or 2-way EOT capability is required by Special Instructions or Timetable, or operating a train that requires 2-way EOT capability under Subpart E of Part 232 air brake requirements. <br /> <br />Confirmation or clarification would be appreciated [:)] <br /> <br />~ Scott ~
