206.5 When notified by the mech. dept. that the emergency capability of telemetry passed a bench test,
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
no further test is required. When telemetry is NOT bench tested, perform the following test:
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
1) charge brake pipe to required pressure for the train,
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
2) close the angle cock between the rear car and the EOT,
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
3) activate the emergency feature on the HTD,
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
4) make certain the air pressure immediately exhausts from the EOT and readouts on the EOT and HTD
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
indicate zero pressure, and |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
5) open the angle cock btw. rear car and the EOT and verify that air pressure is restored
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
206.7 Telemetry can be used to perform air brake tests and meet two-way equipped requirements when
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
the following conditions are met:
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
1) the controlling locomotive has an OPERATIVE HTD,
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
2) the REAR car is equipped with an OPERATIVE EOT capable of two-way communication, and
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
3) the readouts displayed by the EOT and HTD do NOT differ by > 3 psi
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
206.9 Two-way telemetry must be regarded as FAILED en route when it cannot be armed at a location
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
other than the originating terminal or when messages indicating the following are displayed on the HTD:
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
a) dead battery, or
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
b) replace battery, or
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
c) valve failure, or
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
d) disarmed, or
|||\\\ |||\\\
*e) front-to-rear no communication.
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
*Note: Rear-to-front no communication is NOT a failure message
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
300.1 Train speeds are authorized by:
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
a) rules, or
|||\\\ |||\\\
b) special instructions, or
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
c) train documents, or
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
d) dispatcher messages, or
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
e) form EC-1, or
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
f) signal indications
