Hello gang here is my shot to try to explain the track warrant there are two types of track warrants the first being the mechinical giving the crew the train now on most of the BNSF called a general track bulliten it listed all the form (A`s), (B`s) and (C`s) for the territory that the train would operate on or come close to the next track warrant is the paper type used to occupie the track i.e. the main track, main one, main two or main three and so on it starts with it being addressed to for example i will use the BNSF as that is what i use when i go on the road <br />track warrant # 500 December 11 2002 <br />to the BNSF 9889 West at Galesburg on ottumaw sub <br />X in box two proceede from CTC CP 1705 to CTC Maxon on main one track this all gets repeted back to the dispatcher word for word spelling direction to be traveled and single digit # spelled out more than (1) digit # pronounce number for number then the dispatcher gives the ok time in the 24 hour format along with his/her initalls the conductor gives his/her name or initall to the dispatcher this remains in effect untill limits are reported clear to the dispatcher these are mostly used in dark territory where the maxium authorized speed is 49 mph they can be used in abs/twc territory where the train can run at a faster speed barring any speed restrictions in the train this can also be used in CTC in event of CTC failure meaning that all the signals have went out to keep traffic moving there speed will only be 49 mph here in Galesburg road crews get a tast of all CTC, ABS/TWC and just plain TWC dark.
