[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Mark_W._Hemphill</i> <br /><br />[ <br />What you are observing is the operation of that rule. Most railroads have a rule supplemental to GCOR or NORAC, etc., such as NS #34, that requires train crews to announce all or certain signal aspects or indications to EACH OTHER, but NEVER to someone else. The supplemental rule may state that this is to be done by radio, or verbally (both sides of the locomotive cab), or both. The reason this is done AMONG THE CREW is so that the crew agrees they are all seeing the same thing, <br />MWH <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />That makes sense, thanks... <br /> <br />So then I guess where it states- "<i>The student engineer radioed to the dispatcher every signal that he encountered up to signal 111, including the clear indication at the immediately preceding signal,</i>" - (page 25) The student was actually doing something he, shouldn't have been.
