  • Proper Car Placement in Trains
    Proper Car Placement in Trains Presented by DuPage Division Midwest Region NMRA . Presented at Badgerland Express Madison, Wisconsin JJam Introduction Some of you may wonder why it is important to know that cars can be placed in the wrong order in a train.

Proper car placement also insures the general safety of.... The merchandise being transported The safety of the train crews handling the cars and the train The safety of the community thru which these cars may move. Some of these rules can be utilized to make the operation of your models more prototypical. The last reason I can think of for knowing this valuable information is that you can use it to heckle another modeler about his operation.

There are a whole bunch of rulebooks. charts and other documents that trainmen must be familiar with when switching and operating trains. Every railroad has a "Book of Rules" which is the basis of this information. Superceding the "Book of Rules" is the Time Table and Special Instructions which is specific to a certain portion of the railroad. This is superceded by the System and General Bulletins. The most specific information is found in the Train Messages which are issued with every work order. Here is the hierarchy triangle: SYSTEM AND GENERAL BULLETINS TIME TABLE AND SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL OPERATING RULES (BOOK) lets start with a few general rules to set the stage: Rule A Employees whose duties are governed by these rule must provide themselves with a copy of these rules...
