Well Mook, you figure out how long your steps are and you pace it off. See GCOR item 19.3.2 Distances........HeHeHe. We don't have to flag much anymore especially with no cabooses and block signal protection. This one is weird, but think about it Mook. O.K. your train is stopped in CTC. Why would you not have to flag to protect the *** end of your train? Block signal protection. If a train comes up on the signal to the entrance of the block that you are in it better be red! If it is a red intermediate (stop and proceed) you will stop and proceed at restricted speed (6.27) stopping short of elephants, dogs, gorillas and other trains. If the DS flags you by an absolute, guess what, you are still at restricted speed, and he will know if there is somebody in between his control points. If I absolutely had to determine distance, I would look at mileposts on my way back (aslo crossings, the bungalows are marked with the MP #) <br />Hope this helps......Kenny
