On the CP, the rules allow for a 45 minute nap as long as one crewman remains alert. The rule also specifies that the alert person cannot be a student conductor. It is common for the dispatcher to let the train know when a clear signal is comming up. The situation is as follows: The train is told to stop short of a red signal because by pulling up to the signal, crossings would be blocked. The conductor lets the dispatcher know that the signal is out of view and requests a call when time to approach the signal.
