for train meets.
• To accomplish train meets anticipated to occur during dispatcher shift transfer.
Do not send an “after arrival” track warrant to a printer or fax machine.
Process
An “after arrival” authority may only be issued after the train to receive the after arrival is
stopped at the meeting point where the opposing train will be met.
(Note: A train stopped short of the meeting point for topographical reasons, i.e., to stay off
of road crossings, grade considerations, etc., may be considered as stopped at the meeting
point for application of this process.) |
