56. Maneuvers on the main railway tracks or crossing them, as well as going beyond the entrance arrows, can be allowed in each case only with the permission of the station's chipboard with the corresponding entrance traffic lights closed, blocking the entrance to the railway tracks and arrows on which maneuvers are performed.

In the receiving and departure parks of a railway station, maneuvers can only be carried out on those railway tracks (arrows) that will be indicated by the station's chipboard when giving the task to the compiler (chief conductor) for shunting work.

57. It is not allowed to maneuver with the train leaving the border of the railway station for a haul on single-track and on the wrong railway track on double-track sections without the consent of the DSC and the chipboard of the neighboring station and without the established permit issued to the driver. Maneuvers with the exit of the train beyond the border of the railway station along the correct railway track on double-track sections are allowed with the consent of the DSC with the oral permission of the station's chipboard.

The permission to leave the shunting train outside the border of the railway station on a single-track stage is:

1) in case of automatic blocking, a wand key given to the driver of a shunting locomotive before opening the corresponding output traffic light. After the first departure of the shunting train beyond the border of the railway station at the open exit traffic light and wand key, repeated trips to the stage if the driver has a wand key are carried out without opening the exit traffic light. In sections equipped with automatic blocking, where at railway stations there are special shunting traffic lights associated with traffic lights, the departure of the shunting train outside the border of the railway station is carried out with the permissive indication of this shunting traffic light. In the absence of a wand key or a special shunting traffic light for maneuvers with departure from the border of the railway station, the driver of the shunting locomotive is issued a Travel Note;

2) in case of semi-automatic blocking - the key-baton of this stage, and in its absence - the Travel Note;

After obtaining such permission, the DSP stations exchange telephone messages:

“Can I perform maneuvers with departure from the border of the station”;

“I authorize the production of maneuvers with departure from the border of the station.”

The receipt of the last telephone message serves as the basis for issuing a Travel Note to the driver, at the top of which a hand-written note is made “maneuvers with departure outside the station border”.

The exchange of these telephone messages is carried out by train dispatcher communication, under the control of the DSC.

It is forbidden to make a request and give permission for the shunting train to leave the border of the railway station when the haul is occupied by an oncoming train.

If consent is given at the time of the passage of the train, sent from the railway station for the production of maneuvers, the stage is considered busy until a message is received from the neighboring railway station about the arrival of the train and the notification of the end of the maneuvers is transmitted to this railway station:

"The maneuvers with the departure of the shunting staff outside the station are completed."

Means of signaling and communication during the movement of trains

17.24. The means of signaling and communication during the movement of trains are automatic and semi-automatic blocking.

From now on, until the reconstruction in low-traffic areas, an electric wand system and a telephone can be used as a means of communication during the movement of trains.

In inactive areas, in addition, train traffic is allowed:

by order of the train dispatcher;

by means of one wand;

with one locomotive.

17.25. With automatic blocking:

permission for a train to occupy a block section serves as an enabling indication of an exit or through traffic light. As an exception, at the traffic lights (except for those in front of the entrance traffic lights) located on long rises, it is allowed in each individual case with the permission of the head of the railway transport department of the organization or the head of the industrial railway transport organization to install a conditional permissive signal - a shield with a reflective sign in the form of a letter "T".

The presence of this signal serves as a permission for a freight train to follow a red traffic light without stopping. At the same time, the driver must drive the train in such a way as to follow a traffic light with a red light at a speed of no more than 15 km / h with special vigilance and readiness to immediately stop it if an obstacle is encountered for further movement.

In the event of a train stopping in front of a traffic light with a red signal, as well as with an incomprehensible indication or extinguished, if the driver sees and knows that the block section ahead is occupied by the train, he is prohibited from continuing to move until the block section is free.

If the driver does not know that he is on the block section of the train in front of him, he must, after stopping, release the autobrakes and, if during this time a permissive signal does not appear at the traffic light, drive the train to the next traffic light at a speed of no more than 15 km / h with special vigilance and readiness stop immediately if there is an obstacle to further movement.

If the next traffic light is in the same position, the movement of the train after the mandatory stop continues in the order established above.

17.26. With semi-automatic blocking:

the permission for the train to occupy the haul is the permissive indication of the exit or through traffic light;

on single-track sections, in order to open the exit traffic light, you must first obtain consent from the officer on duty at the neighboring station to which the train departs.

17.27. With an electric system:

the permission for a train to occupy a haul is the baton of this haul, handed over to the driver;

all telephone conversations on the movement of trains, as well as the extraction and insertion of wands, the issuance and receipt of them can only be carried out by the station attendant. When installing wand devices in the premises of turnout posts, the extraction and insertion of wands, their issuance and receipt can be carried out by the senior duty officer of the turnout post with the permission of the station duty officer;

the station attendant has the right to transfer, without a pass through the wand apparatus, the wand received on the tracks from the arriving train to the train departing for the same haul. In this case, you must first obtain the consent of the person on duty at the neighboring station to which the train departs.

At stations where wand devices have wand keys, it is prohibited to pass the wand without a pass through the wand apparatus.

It is forbidden:

request permission to remove the wand before the train is ready for departure, with the exception of non-stop passing of trains or parking and according to the schedule no more than 5 minutes;

to keep active wands not inserted into the apparatus;

carry the wand to the neighboring haul.

17.28. With telephone means of communication, a written permission serves as a permission to occupy a haul by a train.

On single-track hauls, as well as on double-track hauls when departing on the wrong track, before issuing written permission to the locomotive driver, the station duty officer must obtain the consent of the station duty officer for the departure of the train.

On double-track hauls, when departing on the right track, a written permit is issued after receiving a notice of the arrival at a neighboring station of a previously sent train.

In the presence of the UARP, the permission for the departure of trains and the occupation of hauls by them (without the issuance of written permits) are:

on single-track hauls, as well as double-track and multi-track when departing on the wrong track - the consent of the duty officer at the receiving station of the train and the permission of the duty officer at the departure station, transmitted to the driver by radio;

on double-track hauls when departing on the right track - the permission of the duty officer at the departure station, transmitted to the driver by radio.

In this case, the UARP fixes the text of the permission (corresponding to the text of the written permission given in the Instructions for the movement of trains and shunting work on industrial railway transport), transferred to the driver by the duty officer at the departure station, the consent of the duty officer at the receiving station and confirmation by the driver of the receipt of permission.

17.29. In the presence of UARP, trains are dispatched in a similar manner in cases of switching to telephone means of communication in the event of a malfunction of the automatic, semi-automatic blocking, electric wand system, malfunction of the output (route) traffic light, when trains depart from tracks that do not have output traffic lights, as well as a malfunction or absence route indicator of the departure route at a group traffic light.

17.30. In the event of a break in the operation of all installed means of signaling and communication, the movement of trains is carried out on single-track sections by means of written notices, and on double-track sections - with a delimitation of the time set for the train to travel between stations.

The procedure for organizing the movement of trains during a break in the operation of all installed means of signaling and communication is established by the Instruction on the movement of trains and shunting work on industrial railway transport.

17.31. Between two separate points, the boundaries of which are the junction of the frame rail or the limit posts, the movement (of trains, trains) is carried out in a shunting order in accordance with the Instructions for the movement of trains and shunting work on industrial railway transport.

Train order

17.32. The speed of movement of trains on hauls is set by the head of the railway transport department of the organization or the head of the organization of industrial railway transport.

The speed of trains is set based on the technical condition, plan and profile of the track, the design capabilities of the rolling stock, the weight of the circulating trains, their provision with brakes and other conditions for ensuring traffic safety (visibility conditions, the presence of road intersections, etc.).

When determining the speed of trains, the safety requirements for the transportation of technological cargo and technological special rolling stock are taken into account.

When trains move forward in wagons, the speed should not exceed 25 km / h, when driving trains with traction units - 35 km / h; for utility trains with radio communication on the locomotive and special self-propelled rolling stock, depending on the design of the special self-propelled rolling stock and recovery trains - no more than 35 km/h. The speed of snowplows is set by local regulations.

The speed of movement when receiving trains on dead-end station tracks, on partially occupied tracks or on technological production sites should not exceed 15 km/h at the beginning of the receiving track.

The speed of movement in a place requiring a reduction in speed must correspond to that indicated in the warning or the corresponding order, and in the absence of these instructions - no more than 15 km / h.

The speed must not be exceeded:

25 km / h - when moving empty slag carriers;

The issuance of warnings for trains is carried out in the manner prescribed by the Instructions for the movement of trains and shunting work on industrial railway transport.

17.34. On double-track hauls, each main track, as a rule, serves for the movement of trains in one specific direction.

Trains are allowed to run on the wrong track.

Measures to ensure traffic safety when trains follow the wrong track are established by the Instruction on the movement of trains and shunting work on industrial railway transport.

It is allowed to use each of the tracks of a double-track or multi-track haul for permanent two-way traffic.

On multi-track hauls, the order of movement along each main track is established by the head of the railway transport department of the organization or the head of the industrial railway transport organization.

17.35. The following of the train by carriages forward on hauls is allowed if there is a compiler or another person performing his duties on the first carriage along the way. If, when the wagons are moving forward, the train is not accompanied by the originator or the person performing his duties, then the security measures are established by the head of the railway transport department of the organization or the head of the industrial railway transport organization.

In open-pit mining, when specialized trains (turntables) are moving forward, not accompanied by the originator, cars forward, the first car along the way must be equipped with sound and, in the dark, with light signals.

17.36. If necessary, trains can be connected and run with operating locomotives at the head and middle of the train.

The organization of the movement of such trains and the order of their passage along the hauls and stations is established by the local instruction.

17.37. The movement of economic trains during their work on the haul is carried out at the direction of the head of work or a person authorized by him.
