7. Special ConditionsRemote Control Area—Signs at MP 428.0 (AvardSubdivision), MP 411.2 (Cherokee Subdivision), and MP 430.5(Creek Subdivision) designate the Remote Control Area atCherokee Yard.

Cherokee Yard—Close clearance between Avard storagetracks 1 and 2. The main track begins and ends at MP 426.5.All movement other than on the main track will be under theauthority of the Tulsa Yardmaster. Eastbound trains contact theyardmaster before entering Restricted Limits at MP 428.0 foryarding instructions.

Hallett—ESS and WSS are automatic switches with radioremote control. A roadway “DTMF” sign is located at MP 453.9in advance of the ESS and at MP 463.2 in advance of the WSS.After the head end of the train has passed the sign, use a radioto send a tone code to the switch. Depress and hold eachradio tone key for 1 second and pause 1 second betweeneach tone. A return tone of 2 beeps indicates the radiocommand was successful.

Black Bear—Manual Interlocking MP 502.6 controlled by RedRock Subdivision dispatcher.

Enid—Close Clearance on Track 8311. Will not clear a personon the side of a car.

Eastward trains will contact the Enid Yardmaster and receiveauthorization to enter Restricted Limits before passingOakwood Road, MP 548. Westward trains will contact the EnidYardmaster and receive authorization to pass 30th Street. Alltrains, if unable to contact the Enid Yardmaster, will contact theAvard Subdivision Dispatcher to receive authorization.

Walker—ESS and WSS are automatic switches with radioremote control. A roadway “KEYPAD” sign is located at MP552.1 in advance of the ESS and at MP 563.5 in advance ofthe WSS. After the head end of the train has passed the sign,use a radio to send a tone code to the switch. Depress andhold each radio tone key for 1 second and pause 1 secondbetween each tone. A return tone of 2 beeps indicates theradio command was successful.

Avard—For westward trains, when indicator at MP 601.6 isdark, stop and contact dispatcher. When indicator displayswhite light, continue movement to absolute signal at MP 601.9.

Hot Weather Train Handling (See Item 1(D) for Hot WeatherSpeed Restrictions)—In high temperature situations, the lateralstability of the track may be compromised by heavy or suddenbrake or throttle applications. Except in emergency, whenambient temperature exceeds 90 degrees, avoid heavydynamic or air brake applications or throttle positions inexcess of what is needed to start train movement andgradually achieve maximum speed.Additionally, when ambient temperature exceeds 100 degrees,the use of dynamic braking is limited to 50 percent of maximumallowable and the use of independent engine braking is to beavoided where practicable. Sources for temperaturesinformation include trackside warning detector reports,dispatcher, or local maintenance personnel.

Loaded Unit Train Restrictions—Loaded unit trains of grain,coal, taconite, potash, coil steel and other such bulk trainsmust, when practical, not take the siding. If it is necessary forthese trains to take siding, the speed entering and exiting thesiding is restricted to 10 MPH.

Block Signal Territory Instructions—In block signal territory,when a train is passing the approach signal (displaying otherthan Clear) to a control point, a crew member must transmitthe following by radio:- Train identification (initials, engine number and direction)- Signal Name- Control point location- Track (on single track, main track designation is not

necessary)- SpeedExample of Transmission:“BNSF 6301 West approach signal North Imboden at 35 MPH”.

Flash Flood Warnings—The following locations have beenidentified as “critical areas” subject to flash floods andwashouts as outlined in System Special Instructions, Item 33:MP 428.0 to MP 432.0MP 550.0 to MP 601.0

Sidings Prohibited for Key Trains—Neelys

Hot Weather Train Handling—(See Item 1(D) For HotWeather Speed Restrictions.) In high temperature situations,the lateral stability of the track structure may be compromisedby heavy or sudden brake or throttle applications. Except in anemergency, when the ambient temperature exceeds 90degrees, avoid heavy dynamic or air brake applications, orthrottle positions in excess of what is needed to start the trainmovement and gradually achieve maximum speed. Additionallywhen the ambient temperature exceeds 100 degrees, the useof dynamic braking is limited to 50 percent of the maximumallowable, and the use of independent engine braking is to be

Test procedure is as follows:Test Number: .............. Dial 90000Check: ......................... All Segments lit

Brake pipe pressure is 125 poundsMARKER ON, BATTERY LOW ANDSTOPPED are lit

Hot Weather Train Handling (See Item 1(D) for Hot WeatherSpeed Restrictions)—In high temperature situations, the lateralstability of the track may be compromised by heavy or suddenbrake or throttle applications. Except in an emergency, when

the ambient temperature exceeds 90 degrees, avoid heavydynamic or air brake applications, or throttle positions inexcess of what is needed to start train movement andgradually achieve maximum speed. Additionally, when theambient temperature exceeds 100 degrees, the use ofdynamic braking is limited to 50 percent of the maximumallowable and the use of independent engine braking is to beavoided where practical. Sources for temperature informationinclude trackside warning detector reports, the dispatcher, orlocal maintenance personnel.

Loaded Unit Train Restrictions—Loaded unit trains of grain,coal, taconite, potash, coil steel and other such bulk trainsmust, when practical, not take the siding. If it is necessary forthese trains to take siding, the speed entering and exiting thesiding is restricted to 10 MPH.

Loaded unit trains are not permitted on the siding at CedarGap.

Hot Weather Train Handling—(See Item 1(D) for HotWeather Speed Restrictions.) In high temperature situations,the lateral stability of the track structure may be compromisedby heavy or sudden brake or throttle applications. Except in anemergency, when the ambient temperature exceeds 90degrees, avoid heavy dynamic or air brake applications, orthrottle positions in excess of what is needed to start trainmovement and gradually achieve maximum speed. Additionally,when the ambient temperature exceeds 100 degrees, the useof dynamic braking is limited to 50 percent of the maximumallowable, and the use of independent engine braking is to beavoided where practical. Sources for temperature informationinclude trackside warning detector reports, the dispatcher, orlocal maintenance personnel.

Empty Coal Trains Operating With Distributive Power—Empty coal trains operating between Palos, Ala., and KansasCity, Mo., with distributive power (DP) will be handled asfollows: Prior to departing the power plant at Palos, the remoteconsist will be placed in the idle mode and will operate toKansas City in idle mode. This mode allows the consist to useall the air brake functions. In addition, train check is availableand will be used each time the train is stopped.EXCEPTION: In the event that a locomotive in the lead consistfails and an increase in tractive effort is needed to move thetrain, the following will apply until the first opportunity to switchremote to the head end of the train is reached:1. Remote consist will be placed in normal mode.2. Remote consist will be moved to back group and

operated independently.3. Lead consist will be used as the primary means to

decrease, increase and maintain speed, similar toconventional train operation.

4. Remote consist may be used when necessary onascending grades and to start the train, provided the leadconsist is at least four (4) throttle notches higher than theremote consist.

5. Remote consist must not be used while operating throughother than main track turnouts.

6. Locomotives operated on rear of train (remote consist)are exempt from ABTH Rule 106.3 (Shut DownRequirements for Locomotives Not Being Used).
