Precautions before giving the “Train Out of Section” signal
1) Before giving the “Train Out of Section” signal to the station in rear, the SM will satisfy himself that the train has arrived complete or passed with the TL/TB on the last vehicle in the manner indicated below
a) For run through trains or where trains comes to a stop at a place where the SM can conveniently inspect the TL/TB, the responsibility for ascertaining that the train has arrived complete will be that of the SM.
b) At stations where two or more cabins are provided, whenever the stopping trains come to a stand, where the SM cannot easily see whether the train has arrived complete, this duty will be devolved on the Cabin man nearest to which the last vehicle stands. In the cases, the Cabin man will satisfy himself that the train has arrived complete by seeing the TL/TB. The Guard of the train shall verify that the last vehicle is standing clear of the Fouling Mark (FM), and give the alright signal to the Cabin man by waving an arm by day and white light by night. After receiving the Guard’s signal, the Cabin man will inform the SM on duty, and give his private number or return the key where there is key transmitter, to the SM, and until the SM receive the Pvt. No or the Key, he must not send the “Train Out of Section” signal.
c) At stations, other than those provided with two or more cabins, the Guard of the train, after verifying that the Last Vehicle is standing clear of the Fouling Mark, shall give “All Right” signal to the SM on duty by waving an arm by day and a white light by night. The SM shall send the “Train Out of Section” signal on receipt of the hand signal from the Guard.
d) At stations, where the complete arrival of a train inside the Fouling Mark with TL/TB on the last vehicle cannot be ascertained either by personal observation or receipt of All- Right signal from Guard by the SM/CASM/Switch man/Cabin man, Train Intact Arrival Register (T-1410) shall be sent by the SM/CASM/Switch man to the Guard to certify the complete arrival of the train and its standing clear of the Fouling Mark. The “Train Out of Section” signal may be sent to the station in rear by the SM/CASM/Switch man on receipt of “ALL Right” hand signal from the points man.
e) The SM/CASM/Switch man shall send the Train Intact Arrival Register (T-1410) well in time through a points man in uniform to the place where the Last Vehicle comes to a stop to obtain the signature of the Guard, immediately on arrival of the train to avoid detention to the following trains.
2)
a) When a running Line is blocked by a stable load, wagon, vehicle or by a train which is to cross or give precedence to another train or immediately after the arrival of the a train at the station, etc. the points in rear on the double line sections and at either end on the single line section should be immediately set against the blocked line except when shunting or any other movement is required to be done on that line.
b) If all the lines at a station happened to be blocked, when line clear has been granted to a train, the points should be set for the line occupied by a stable load, or a goods train in that order so that, in case of mishap, the chances of causalities are minimized.
c) In case all the lines at a station are occupied by passenger trains, points should be set to the Loop Line, to negotiate which speed of the incoming train would be reduced so as to minimize the consequences/causalities. While doing so, points may be set for the Loop Line occupied by a train, if any, whose engine is facing the direction of approach of the incoming train rather than for the Loop Line occupied by a train where a passenger coach will, in case of collision, receive the impact.
3) Besides the above, the SM shall put the slide pin on the slide of the related Home Signal of the Line which is obstructed put a lever collar on the slot of the Home Signal of the obstructed line. In case of panel he shall put the button cap on the route button.
