Master Train Plan (MTP)Collectively, the scheduled times as advised by QR from time to time for all Train Servicesoperating on QR’s Rail Infrastructure where such scheduled times remain unchanged fromweek to week, and any Planned Possessions.Nominal Rail SizeRail sizes 20, 31 and 41 kg/m are all nominal rail sizes used to group together a range ofrail types and sizes originally designated in the imperial unit “lb/yd”. The term “nominal” isused in recognition of the variation in the dimensions, mass and engineering properties ofthe rails in this category.Ordinary Staff and Ticket WorkingA token based system of safeworking where the movement of trains on bi-directional singlelines is on possession of a staff token or ticket. Each section of single line has a uniquetoken.Staff & TicketThe Staff and Ticket System allows for the movement of trains over a bidirectional track.The Staff and Ticket System operates (in accordance with Queensland Rail’s Safety ManagementStandard STD/0043/SWK) on the principle of absolute block working, which providesthat only one train will be authorised to be on any one section at any one time.Rail Access Monitoring System (RAMS) [Standard Gauge - QLD Border to AcaciaRidge]Current train management system on the QR Standard Gauge corridor to monitor networkand operator performance.Railway OperatorA person who has, or is seeking, Access from QR to operate Train Services on the Rail Infrastructureand who is, or who will become, Accredited in respect of those Train Services.Remote Controlled Signalling (RCS)A system of Safeworking where train movements are governed by aspects displayed inColour Light Signals which are controlled from a remote location and by the passage oftrains. Some colour light signals and points may be released by the Train Controller to beoperated from a local area by using:• a local control panel;• an electrically released shunting frame;• a zone released shunting system, or• emergency push buttons.Railway Operators trains are expected to meet existing signalling standards to ensure trackcircuits and other signalling equipment operate safely and effectively - in particular QR’sSafety and Security Standard SAF/STD/0006/SWK “Principles for the Signalling of Trains”must be complied with.MT ISA SYSTEM INFORMATION PACKISSUE 2.1 DATE - MAY 200726
Rollingstock Authorisation ProcessThe process for determining and validating rollingstock compliance and registration as detailedin QR’s Safety and Security Standard SAF/STD/0068/RSK - Rollingstock Validation,Acceptance and RegistrationRemote Train Overview Application (RTOA)A PC based system providing real time operational information, gathering information ontrain running and rail network status for immediate and continuously updated display andhistorical analysis.Being a multi-tier client-server application, different levels of access/security ensure confidentialityof an Operator’s train performance statistics.SN Speed BoardsSpeed Normal Boards are speed boards that place the onus on the Driver of a train to travelat speeds considered safe for that section of track being travelled over. These boards aregradually being phased out in accordance with QR’s Safety and Security Standard SAF/STD/0015/CIV - SPEED BOARDSStandard TrainThe predominant type of train operating on the line/system.SWRShort welded rail. Rail that has mechanical rail joints spaced at intervals less than 110m.Train AuthorisationThe process for acceptance of a train configuration whose rollingstock is registered underQR’s Safety and Security Standard SAF/STD/0068/RSK - Rollingstock Validation, Acceptanceand Registration.Train LengthThe total length in metres of a train including the locomotives. For the purposes of comparisonwith the length of crossing loops, an addition of 1% (1 metre for every 100 metres) shallbe allowed to the calculated length of the train to allow for train stretching.Train Order SystemThe Train Order System of working allows for the movement of trains on a bi-directionalsingle line.The movement of trains is governed by instructions contained in Train Orders issued by theTrain Controller to train crews or Track Vehicle Supervisors.Train Orders also govern themovement of on-track machine/s working through sections where the movements cannotbe protected by Permanent Way Protection Signals.MT ISA SYSTEM INFORMATION PACKISSUE 2.1 DATE - MAY 200727
