So much for RR communication. <br /> <br />I specifically remember reading a rulein the red book about how,when a sensitive peice of RR equipment is changed, it msut be called out,vocaliazed, outloud between surrounding crew, followed by a checking of the watch. <br /> <br />SO let's say that was me- moved into a siding, And it was 1: 16 PM And I moved the switch, i'd say- Main line fire, thirteen sixteen. The Engineer over the radio would confirm Main line fire one three one six. <br /> <br />Main line fire is nothing more then somehting red on the main line. An adverse switch should give a red plackcard. <br /> <br />Then once finished- Let;s say i'd forgotten, like T-rex over here, the engineer should ask Main line fire? over the radio, which would prompt me to re-allighn the switch, and then give audio confirmation of such: <br /> <br />High-ball switch thirteen twenty-two <br /> <br />High ball switch one three two two from the engineer. <br /> <br />That's all their is to it. <br /> <br />I'd hate to be caught moving a switch without making a verbal note on a radio. <br /> <br />that'll buy you 15 days of home-time.
