AUTHORIZED TRAINS

• A Train shall be considered any lash up that consists of locomotives as a single or multiple unit and one car in tow (revenue, MOW, or caboose) that is intended for an authorized or cleared movement on a Main Line track.
• Other special locomotive or train movements authorized by the Dispatcher and cleared movement on a Main Line track.
• Hostler movements within Yard Limits are not considered authorized trains until authorized by the Dispatcher.

SUPERIOR TRAINS

• NORTH AND WEST TRAINS ARE SUPERIOR BY DIRECTION TO TRAINS OF THE SAME CLASS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
• Passenger and Commuter trains are superior to all other trains unless otherwise directed by Dispatch. 

STEAM SPECIAL TRAIN RESTRICTIONS

• Steam Specials locomotives must be accompanied with a diesel locomotive of sufficient power for emergency recovery on all track conditions.
• Exceptions can be made at the discretion of the Superintendent, but stand-by power must be readily available as needed so Main Line tracks are not fouled.
