After the

receipt of the signal “Manoeuvring drive allowed” at Tm4, the manoeuvring manages shall give the signal to start manoeuvring drive. 8) The set of wagons pulled or pushed from the siding to Swarzędz station tracks shall be stopped in front of the semaphore of the given track, stop the set of wagons with air brake system and additionally pull the hand brake of the first wagon in the set. Return of the manoeuvring engine to the siding free or with wagons is performed after obtaining consent and appropriate signals being displayed. 9) The wagons may be taken from Swarzędz station by pulling or pushing to siding tracks. While performing the manoeuvring drive, the manoeuvring manager shall inform the Sw switch traffic controller via telephone or via radiotelephone about the intended drive to the siding, in order to prepare the passage route and displaying the signal allowing for manoeuvring drive on semaphore E6/m or E8/m. 10) Passage route on CLIP II tracks shall be prepared by the manager of the manoeuvring team, which is to enter the siding from Swarzędz station or enter the Swarzędz station tracks from the siding.

4. Technical conditions for railway siding operations:

4.1. Bringing wagons to the siding:

After the receipt of the signal “Manoeuvring drive allowed” at Tm4, the manoeuvring manages shall give the signal to start manoeuvring drive. 2) The set of wagons pulled or pushed from the siding to Swarzędz station tracks shall be stopped in front of the semaphore of the given track, stop the set of wagons with air brake system and additionally pull the hand brake of the first wagon in the set. Return of the manoeuvring engine to the siding free or with wagons is performed after obtaining consent and appropriate signals being displayed. 3) The wagons may be taken from Swarzędz station by pulling or pushing to siding tracks. While performing the manoeuvring drive, the manoeuvring manager shall inform the Sw switch traffic

controller via telephone or via radiotelephone about the intended drive to the siding, in order to prepare the passage route and displaying the signal allowing for manoeuvring drive on semaphore E6/m or E8/m. 4) Passage route on CLIP II tracks shall be prepared by the manager of the manoeuvring team, which is to enter the siding from Swarzędz station or enter the Swarzędz station tracks from the siding. 5) Bringing of wagons to delivery-acceptance point of the siding and taking of wagons from this point to the Swarzędz station shall be performed with the use of the railway carrier’s rolling stock operating on the siding or siding user’s rolling stock on the basis of a separate agreement between the user of the siding and PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. 6) Passage thought manoeuvring zone V of CLIP II siding (delivery- acceptance tracks group) must take place along passage track no. 102 after the following conditions are met: a) the Carrier’s engine setter was informed, if such engine is present at CLIP II tracks, b) passage track no. 102 is free and the Carrier’s engine stopped the manoeuvring works and is on side track no. 105, c) free engine or manoeuvring set passing through CLIP siding area were stopped before the CLIP II siding border in order to be prepared and to check the passage route along the passage track no. 102 by the manoeuvring manager, d) passage route was properly prepared and inspected and the appropriate signals in force at the railway infrastructure administrator tracks - PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. - were displayed, e) after the performance of the passage and driving past the CLIP II border, the Carrier’s engine setter shall immediately be informed, if such engine is present at CLIP II siding tracks. 7) In order to bring wagons to loading points, the following conditions shall be met: a) wagons brought to manoeuvring zone I tracks are pulled from delivery-acceptance tracks in the direction of track no. 400a and the pushed tracks 304-306 or to track 301, b) wagons brought to manoeuvring zone I and II tracks are pushed or pulled from delivery-acceptance tracks to track 401 or 603, c) wagons brought to tracks 611 and 612 may be pushed or pulled, d) wagons brought to tracks 613 and 614 must be pushed, e) Wagons brought to tracks 602 and 603 with electric traction must be pushed to the turnout joint no. 602, and then the
