The rules which govern a train receiving such a train order are shown in normal type. In the following examples eastward regular trains are given even train numbers and westward regular trains are given odd train numbers. The relative locations of the stations named in the examples is shown below: Critchley - Roundabout - Saville - Williams - Chester - Kendahl - Deerfield A. FIXING MEETING POINTS FOR OPPOSING TRAINS (1a) No 1 meet No 2 at Saville (1b) No 3 meet Second 4 at Saville (1c) No 5 meet Extra 95 east at Saville (1d) No 3 meet Extra 284 and 308 coupled east at Saville (2a) No 2 and Second 4 meet No 1 and No 3 at Roundabout and Extra 95 west at Saville (and so on) (2b) No 1 meet No 2 at Kendahl Second 4 at Chester and Extra 95 east at Saville Theses examples may be modified by adding "______ take siding". The trains named in such orders will meet at the designated points in the manner prescribed by the rules or special instructions. B. AUTHORIZING A TRAIN TO PASS OR RUN AHEAD OF A SUPERIOR TRAIN (1) No 253 pass No 3 at Chester No. 253 is authorized to pass No. 3 at Chester and to run ahead of No. 3 from Chester. Unless otherwise provided, the train to be passed will take siding. (2) Extra 194 east run ahead of No 6 Roundabout to Kendahl Extra 194 east may run ahead of No. 6 between the designated points. Under these examples the train authorized to run ahead must be protected, if necessary, as prescribed by Rule 99. If a train is delayed after receiving authority to run ahead of a superior train, the train may allow the superior train to pass, and the train order must then be considered fulfilled. The train dispatcher must be notified as soon as possible. C. GIVING RIGHT OVER AN OPPOSING TRAIN (1) No 45 has right over No 2 Kendahl to Saville If No. 2 reaches Saville before No. 45 arrives, No. 2 may proceed, clearing the time of No. 45 not less then one minute. (2) Extra 37 east has right over No 3 Roundabout to Chester No. 3 must not go beyond Chester until Extra 37 east arrives unless authorized by train order to do so. These orders give right to the train first-named over the other train between the designated points. Unless otherwise provided, if trains meet at either of the designated points, the first-named train must take siding. E. TIME ORDERS (1) No 5 run 20 mins late Deerfield to Roundabout (2) No 9 run 20 mins late Deerfield to Chester and 10 mins late Chester to Roundabout Examples (1) and (2) make the schedule of the designated train as much latter as stated in the order between the designated stations. The time in the order must be such as can be easily added to the schedule time. In example (1), if No. 5 runs beyond Roundabout, then the leaving time at Roundabout is the schedule time. In example (2), the leaving time of No. 9 at Chester is 10 minutes latter then the schedule time, and if No. 9 runs beyond Roundabout, then the leaving time at Roundabout is the schedule time. (3) No 1 wait at No. 1 must not pass the designated stations before the times given. This order makes the time of No. 1 at Kendahl and Chester 959 am, at Saville and any station between Saville and Critchley where the schedule time is earlier, 1030 am. In examples (1), (2) and (3), inferior trains must clear these later times as before required to clear the schedule time. (4) No 2 wait at Chester until 959 am for Extra 284 west No. 2 must not leave Chester until 959 am unless Extra 284 west has arrived. Extra 284 west must be clear at Chester at 958 am.
