AVOID DAMAGE - Switch Customers Cars Carefully

- Judging Speed -

Accurate judgement of coupling speed depends upon correct timing. An excellent way to get accurate timing without a watch is to count "one hundred and thirty-one, one hundred and thirty-two" and so on as the car passes a stationary point. With a little practice counting can be done at the rate of one a second.

Ability to closely estimate speed at time car strikes is extremely important because impact force builds up as the square of the speed. This means that impact delivered by a car coupled at 8 miles per hour is not four times that at 2 miles per hour, but 16 TIMES AS GREAT. Damage to freight or car can be avoided by always keeping coupling within the safe range - NOT OVER 4 MlLES PER HOUR - A BRISK WALK.

SPEED CARD

To Find Coupling Speed of 40 Foot and 50 Foot Car

Sight vertical end of car body on a fixed point and note the number of seconds it takes to pass.  Speed in miles per hour is shown opposite.  Damage as a result of Rough Handling makes up a large part of the claim bill for Loss and Damage to Freight.  From the Railroad standpoint it is the major item in the expense.  We all know that Rough Handling can be reduced, often eliminated.  It is hopes that this card will be helpful in your efforts to prevent Rough Handling.

Switch crews must function as a team.  Clear signals properly given are mighty important; talk it over -- prevent Rough Handling -- it can be done.

When a blue signal is displayed at any entrance to a track, engine(s) or car(s) must not be permitted to enter that track.

When workmen are working on, under or between an engine(s) and/or car(s) coupled to an engine, a blue signal must be attached to the controlling unit of the engine at a location where it is readily visible to the engineer or operator at the controls of that engine.

When workmen are working on, under or between an engine(s) and/or car(s) on a track other than a classification track of a hump yard, a blue signal must be displayed at each end of the equipment to which a coupling can be made, or at each entrance to the track.

Blue signals must be displayed by each class or group of workmen and may only be removed by the same class or group of workmen that placed them.

When emergency work is to be done on, under or between an engine or cars coupled to an engine, and a blue signal is not available, the engineer or operator of engine must be notified by employee in charge of making the repairs and protection must be given those engaged in making repairs. The engine or cars must not be moved nor air brakes applied or released until the engineer or operator at the controls of the engine has been notified by the same employee in charge that work has been completed and all employees are out from under or between engine and cars.

NOTE: "Blue Signal" means a clearly distinguishable blue flag or blue light by day and a blue light by night. A blue light may be displayed either burning steadily or flashing.

RULE 26-A OF CONSOLIDATED CODE OF OPERATING RULES

When workmen are working on, under or between an engine and/or car(s) on a classification track of a hump yard, the following protection must be provided:

1. Each manually-operated switch, including cross-over switches, providing access to the track must be lined for movement to another track and a blue signal displayed at or near each such switch; and each remotely-controlled switch providing access to the track must be lined against movement to the track and a locking device applied to the control for the switch.
2. The employee in charge of the workmen must ask for and receive from the operator of the remotely-controlled switches the required protection before the work is begun.
3. The operator of the remotely-controlled switches will provide the protection before informing the employee in charge of the workmen that it is being provided. He will not remove the locking device until notified by the employee in charge of the workmen that the work is completed.
4. The operator will record on a prescribed form and retain for 30 days information as to the date and time he received request for track protection; name and craft of employee in charge who requested the protection; the number of other designation of the track involved; the date and time he notified the employee in charge that the protection had been provided; the date and time he was informed that work had been completed and the name and craft of the employee in charge who provided this information.
