See pages 292-3.
Regulations for Working Out7of-Gauge Loads requiring the Use
of oth Lines where Block Working is in operation.
(See also B.T.R. 35).
Whenever an out-of-gauge load requiring the use cf both lines is to be
run, it will be clearly indicated in the programme or other advice of the
special train conveying the out-of-gauge load the points between which no
train must pass the special on the opposite line, and also, in cases where the
special is required to run on the wrong line, the points between which such
working is to operate.
In cases where the special is required to run on the wrong line, the engine
of the special train must run through the sections concerned on the proper
line, and in doing so the driver must -
stop signalman a to t prepare e a the c necessary h wrong line order form, which he will
obtain when returning on the opposite line. On arrival back at the box
s i g n a l
from which the out-of-gauge special will start, the driver must satisfy the
b
person
o
in charge
x
that
,
he has in his possession the necessary wrong line order
rforms, e and q the utrain e may s then t be allowed to run through the sections con-
tcerned in hthe wrong e direction.
In all cases where an out-of-gauge special has to run on the wrong line,
the following form written out specially by the signalman must
be made use of for the purpose :—
" To Driver of Engine No. w o r k i n g "- Out-of-Gauge " Load
"from t o
" I authorise you to return with your train on the wrong line to this
signal box."
Signature S i g n a l m a n
at S i g n a l box.
"Date T i m e issued
" Catch points exist at
In cases where out-of-gauge specials requiring the use of both lines are
run after daylight, a red headlight must be carried, the same as is done in
'the case of single line working owing to accident.
