70 NORTHWEST DIVISION—No. 2—November 5, 2003—Spokane Subdivision Dynamic brake limitation is now at 28 axles per consist for all trains on the BNSF, per Air Brake & Train Handling Rule 103.2.1, Item B. When mechanical personnel makeup locomotive consist and/or perform daily inspection of locomotive consists: 1. Where locomotive consists are make up by mechanical personnel, mechanical personnel will set up locomotive consist in compliance with 28-axle dynamic brake limitation (if more than 28 rated DB axles in consist) along with the other consist set up procedures for each locomotive in the consist. 2. During that inspection, mechanical personnel note all defective dynamic brakes in consist when consist is initially made up and leave this information on controlling locomotive for the locomotive engineer. 3. Local terminal operating supervision at Havre, Spokane and Seattle will communicate to mechanical personnel the minimum dynamic brake requirements for locomotive consist being built for trains requiring a minimum number of DB axles for the heavy grade territories. Spokane—Within city limits, GCOR Rule 5.8 applies at all public crossings including Havanna Street. Outbound train crews, for trains destined west via Wenatchee or Pasco, must have a record of ETD test as per ABTH Rules. All trains and/or engines will get permission from the yardmaster before entering the yard or moving from a yard track. The yardmaster will communicate with any affected switch crew before authorizing the movement. Application of Handbrakes on Grade— Spokane Yard—Call Yardmaster for instructions. Erie Street—Call Yardmaster for instructions. No other areas on the Spokane Subdivision exceed 1% grade. Safety Lockout Program-Spokane—Switch locks are installed at Yardley at both ends of the following tracks: Tracks 1 through 16 Tracks 45 through 59 Crossovers 1, 59, 2, 2 to 1, and from the Main Track to 1 Track through the hand-throw switches (the Hard Way). Under the authority of the conductor or foreman in charge, employee WILL BE REQUIRED to lock both ends of track while coupling air hoses, and/or performing air tests on their own train. This requirement will not apply to a conductor or foremen who is only coupling air hoses between their locomotive and the train or cars they will be handling. The conductor or foreman may request the assistance of a switch or road crew operator at either end of their track to lock or unlock tracks for their protection. Upon completion of coupling air hoses, and/or air testing, the conductor or foreman MUST NOTIFY the yardmaster when his crew is unlocking the track. It will not be necessary for the crew to remove locks at both ends of the track upon their departure. Any yard or train crew member, upon discovery of a locked track in the yard, MUST call the yardmaster to get permission to remove the lock BEFORE switching any car into that track, to make sure track is clear of employees working on their train. SWITCH LOCKS MAY NOT BE REMOVED WITHOUT THE AUTHORITY OF THE YARDMASTER. These procedures are a tool for your use to provide additional protection while in a specific track. They are not intended to supersede GCOR Rule 5.13, (Blue Flag Signal Protection of Workmen). The conductor or foreman in charge must notify the yardmaster before locking out any track.
