Trains or engines need not stop at the stop boards once the derail and warning devices have been activated in the above manner.. If the above procedure fails to activate the derail and warning devices, trains or engines must stop at stop board and activate the device manually by using the push buttons located either side of the crossing to north side of the track. The derail has a 4-minute timer, and will revert to the derailing position if circuit is not occupied within that time. It is suggested that the derail be activated 30 seconds prior to occupying circuit so as not to delay traffic. The derail is self-restoring and will broadcast a message on channel 12 when it has been restored to the derailing position.

Track Release Confirmation– In order to ensure the accuracy of the location report and that the entire movement has arrived, left or cleared the location for track release purposes, both the conductor and locomotive engineer must hear the RTC as the information received is repeated from the computer assisted system and both the conductor and locomotive engineer must acknowledge that the information repeated by the RTC is correct.

Special Instruction Rule 123 is changed to read as follows:
1.2 SPECIAL INSTRUCTION RULE 123
Radio communication must be used for the issuance and cancellation of authorities. Radio communication must also be used when a train location report is made for track release purposes.

When cellular phone is used as a method of radio communication all radio rules must be complied with.
Should a cellular phone be required to copy or cancel an authority at away from home terminal or required to receive instructions to proceed through the limits of a foreman, a repeat must be obtained from both the conductor and locomotive engineer.
Should a cellular phone be required to transmit a train location report for the purpose of releasing track the RTC must repeat from a computer assisted system the information received to both the conductor and locomotive engineer and receive acknowledgement from both the conductor and locomotive engineer that the information repeated by the RTC is correct.
A foreman using a cellular phone to issue or receive instructions pertaining to his/her authority TIME TABLE NO 4 OTTAWA CENTRAL RAILWAY Page 22 November 1st 2004 must repeat such instructions to all employees accompanying him/her.

(b) The employee requesting protection held by a foreman must be in possession of a valid “ A” or “D” certificate of CROR qualification.
(c) When protecting a sub-foreman, the foreman must ensure that there are no conflicting trains or engines within or instructed to enter the sub- foreman’s protection limits. Before a sub-foreman may use the protection held by a foreman, both must have a thorough understanding in writing of
TIME TABLE NO 4 OTTAWA CENTRAL RAILWAY Page 26 November 1st 2004 the protection to be provided. Such understanding must specify:
- the name of the sub-foreman receiving such protection
- the name of the foreman affording protection

- the TOP, Form Y, GBO, or DOB number
- the expiry time stated in the Form Y protection
- the “ call before” time if applicable.
This must be recorded in the applicable section of the prescribed form. The arrangements must be repeated to and acknowledged by the foreman.
When a foreman is protecting sub-foremen and item 2 is used to cancel and reissue a new TOP, before acknowledging the TOP, the foreman must ensure everyone being protected remains within the limits of the new TOP. Immediately after acknowledging the new TOP the foremen must make new arrangements in writing with all the sub-foreman on the new TOP.

(e) The foreman must not instruct a train or engine to enter or move within the limits of the TOP or Form Y protection until each sub-foreman is clear of the track or portion of the track to be used and the track is safe for engine and train movements.
When reporting clear of the protected limits, the “reported clear time” must be recorded in the applicable section of the prescribed form. When permission is given to re-enter the protected limits, a line must be drawn through the “ reported clear time.”
(f) When protection is no longer required, the sub- foreman must immediately advise the foreman and a “protection cancelled time must be recorded and repeated by the foreman and the sub-foreman.
