General Rules 207 (14) and B.T.R.
A light engine with a second tender attached must be signalled on the
block bell as light engines coupled, viz., 2 pause 3. The Locomotive Department
will in all cases provide a man with hand signals and detonators to
ride on the second tender. ( O . 2593).
TRANSIT OF ANIMALS.
General Rule 210.
1.—Care must be taken from time to time to see that the animals are
travelling safely, and if any are found to be down in the wagons, steps
must be taken to have them put right as soon as possible, and a note of the
occurrence must be made on the guard's journal. •
2—Guards of Freight trains must shew at the foot of their journals tohe
number of wagons loaded with live stock which are conveyed by their
trains and the points at which the wagons are attached and detached.
When horse boxes or special cattle boxes are conveyed on goods trains,
guards must distinguish them from other live stock vehicles.
When trains consist entirely of live stock, it will suffice if the total number
of vehicles of each class is given, i.e., horse boxes, special cattle boxes, and
eattle trucks. ( O . 4500).
3.—Guards must take special care of the documents handed to them in
connection with live stock sent by their trains, and must give all such documents
to the proper person at the place where they detach the wagons.
HORSES AND OTHER L:VE STOCK FOR ROADSIDE sTATIoNs
BY NIGHT.
General Rule 210.
1.—Except by previous arrangement with the receiving station, no horses
or other live stock must be sent to any station unless they will arrive while
there is attendance at the signal box at that station. If the station is one at
which the hours of attendance are not given, live stock must only be sent so
as to arrive at or between the hours at which the first morning and last
evening trains are shown in the working time table to stop at such station
and, if, from special or unforseen detention on the road, the guard finds
that the train cannot arrive at the station at or between those hours, he
must decide at which nearest station (where there is attendance) he will leave
the live stock, and instruct the driver accordingly.
When an arrangement is made to detach live stock at night at stations
.after block working has ceased for the day, the Station Master must arrange
for the attendance of the signalman.
2.—In order to ensure live stock reaching their destination as early as
possible, they may, when desirable, be sent to the nearest station thereto
at which there is attendance, or when an earlier arrival can be secured by
means of a train from the opposite direction, they may be sent to the nearest
station beyond their destination at which there is attendance, and brought
back, but no charge must be made for the extra distance they are so conyeyed.:
In such cases the guard of the train must, before starting, be distinctly
