general instructions. - Limit Of Shunt

294 S i n g l e Lines.—Continued.
Between Sherburn Colliery Junction and Broomside.—Cohtinued.
(b) In the event of a train requiring to enter the single line at Sherburn
Colliery Junction box while shunting operations are being carried on
under the circumstances referred to in Clause (a), the train may be
accepted by the signalman at Broomside after the engine performing
the shunting operations in the Broomside Sidings has been brought
within the protection of the Down Home signal worked from Broomside.
A train entering the single line at Sherburn Colliery Junction under
such circumstances must be brought to a stand and the driver verbally
warned that the line is only clear to the Home signal. (O. 2304).
PESSPOOL JUNCTION AND SOUTH HETTON COLLIERY.
On Saturdays, after the closing signal has been given from South Hetton Colliery,
and acknowledged from Pesspool Junction, a train may be allowed to enter the
branch at Pesspool Junction to proceed to the Colliery and back, the trainmen
being informed of the circumstances, and no other train must be allowed on the
Branch until it has returned. No engine of the Colliery Company must enter
the section without the proper signals having first been exchanged. (O. 6549).
HARTLEPOOL STATION AND HARBOUR STREET CROSSING.
When a train is allowed to enter the single line at either end in accordance
with these regulations, it may use the Old Fish Quay Sidings, and, during the
time these sidings are being made use of, no other train must be allowed to
enter upon the single line (except as stated in Regulation 2, page 293) until the
signalman towards whose box the train was proceeding has received an assurance
from the guard or shunter working with the train that the single line has
been cleared ; the guard or shunter must give this information.
The signalman receiving this intimation may then give the TRAIN OUT OF
SECTION signal to the rear box, and another train may be allowed to pass over
the single line.
At which ever end such train enters the single line the signalman concerned
must advise the driver that a train is already at the Old Fish Quay SA ogs
and warn him to proceed cautiously, so that in the event of the single line being
fouled from any cause he may be able to bring his train promptly to a stand.
Before resuming any shunting operations which will in any way foul the single
line, the guard or shunter must obtain the permission of the signalmen at both
ends of the single line, without which the single line must not be fouled.
When the train is ready to leave the Old Fish Quay Sidings for Harbour Street
Crossing Box, the guard or shunter must advise the signalman at Hartlepool
Station Box. If the train is proceeding to Hartlepool Station Box, the guard
or shunter must advise the signalman at Harbour Street Crossing Box, and when
the line is clear and these regulations have been complied with, the signalman
will give the necessary permission, without which the single line must not be
fouled. ( 0 . 2555)
