Rule 304 — Restriction before Leaving

When a train or transfer has been restricted by clearance, such train or transfer must not leave the point named until it is positively known that the opposing train(s) or transfer(s) named on the clearance have arrived.

A train or transfer has not arrived until its designated engine and marker have arrived.

Trains or transfers operating without a marker have not arrived until confirmed by direct communication with a member of the crew of such train or transfer.

If unable to observe the arrival of a train or transfer, or unable to communicate with a member of the crew, the RTC must be contacted.
