All persons in places of trust in tlie Railway service must report any miscon- duct or negligence affecting the interest or safety of tlie road, which may come within their knowledi^e; and their withholdinic any such information will be considered a proof of neglect and indifference oji their part. r-^ 8 SECTION FIRST — OENKRAL EEGULATI0N8, 12.

A red signal with a green one, car- »"'ed in the manner above described, denote that an extra Eni^ine or Train will come in an opposite direction. 29. One sound of the whistle is the Sig- nal to apply the ])rakes. Two sounds of the wdiistlc to let g:o the l)rakes or to start. Three sounds of the whistle is the Si^rnal for backin<>: the train. Four sounds of the whistle is a Sii>:nal ot recall to Flagnien, or to turn Switch. A succession of short sharp wdiistles in- dicates dani>:er. oO. The whistle is to be sounded (being careful to avoid frightening horses) with a continuous sound halt' a mile before reach- ing any station or level crossing ot ji public road. 31. The bell must bo runii: before mov- ing from a station, and whilst shunting. , 32. Frequent use of the whistle must always be made in foggy weather and in snow storms. 33. I^o one can be allowed to judge of \\iQ. necessity of a danger or CiV.iiion Signal, EXCEPT THE ONE BY WHOM IT IS GIVEN. The responsibility of giving them rests w^itli those wdio exhibit thorn.

During foggy weather, snow storms, or at any time, when the ordinary Signals cannot be seen, Torpedoes are to be placed on the rail (label upwards) by bending the lead clip round the upper flange of the rail, to prevent its falling oil'. When the engine passes over the signal it explodes with a loud report, and the Driver is instantly to atop. 36. The use of Torpedoes is to be in ad- dition to the regular day and night Signals of the line, which must iirst be exhibited. 37. Whenever an accident occurs to a Train during foggy weather or a snow storm, or the Train is stopped on the line from any cause, at any place, other than a Station, by which the line is obstructed, the Brakemen must be sent each way at least 800 yards (or sixteen telegraph poles), or more if near a steep grade, or a curve, to stop an approaching Engine or Train, and, as each proceeds, he is to place on the rail at a distance of every 200 yards, one of these Signals; and on his arriving at the end of the above-mentioned distance, he is to place two signals on the line of rail. 38.

Every Driver of an Engine, not ac- companied by a Conductor, is to use these Signals in case of accident or obstruction, in the manner before mentioned; he, and the Firemen iixini^ them as the Conductors are herein directed. And when an Engine passes over one of these Signals, the Driver, having stopped his Engine, is to send back and place on the rail, one Signal every 200 yards for the distance of a quarter of a mile, and then proceed slow^ly to the place of obstruction. 40. After the obstruction of the line is removed, the Conductor, or Engine Driver, must remove all the sicrnals from the rails before proceeding. 41. In any of the above circumstances, and in the absence of either of the Officers above mentioned, any Engine Driver, Fore- man of works, or any other servant of the Railway, is to observe the same rules to guard against danger. 42. Every Conductor, Switchman, En- gine Driver, and Foreman of Trackmen, must provide himself with 12 Torpedoes each, which they are always to have ready for use whilst on duty; and every Station l^litL. ••«r^' 14 SECTION THIRD — RUNNING OF TRAINS. ii ■ Master must provide himself with the same number, which are to he kept in an unlock- ed drawer or shelf in order that they may at all times be easy of access, and every per- son connected with the Station shall be made acquainted with the place where they are deposited. 43.

Whenever telegraph despatches are used for the move- ment of trains, they must, in all cases, be repeated back from the receiving office to the sending office, and acknowledged before the Conductor starts his train, and then pro- ceed with care. All such orders must be given in writing by the Telegraph Agent to the Conductor and Engine-driver, before; ^ftarting. 47. If any train breaks down or is delay- ed on the road, the^7'5/ duty of all persons connected with the train is to see that every precaution is used to prevent any other train from running into the delayed train. One, and in cases of danger two efficient men, must be sent backwards and forwards, witli red flags or lamps, at least half a mile, to stop any approaching train. No wish to have the Signal-men go on in the delayed train must prevent their going back at least half a mile, and stopping until the approach- ing train is stopped ; and if a third or fourth train is following, the same precaution must be observed. This kule is of the utmost IMPORTANCE. 48. No engine or train must leave or pass a station within ten minutes of another, going in the same direction. 49.

When this train is ready to move, it must, if possible, back to the points, and enter the siding in the direction from which the train came. The opi)osito points, if a through siding, can then b(^ placed ready for the other train to come to the platform. When both tiains come in sight together, an Express train has the right of platform, and if neither are Ex- press, then the first that is due. 50. Whenever it becomes necessary to back a train to a station, it must be done wuth great care, keeping a man with a red flag or red light, constantly in advance of the rear end of the train, to warn any train that may be approaching. Neither the Conduc- tor nor Engine-driver has a right to assume that there are no trains approaching in ' cither direction 61. Gravel and wood trains must be on a siding twenty minutes before a train is due, and wait till all trains due have arrived. 52. No extra or uncertain train will leave any station unless it has time to arrive at the next station at least fifteen minutes be- fore the time fixed in any Time-Table for the arrival of any regular train.

An extra or special train follo^ving ;» regahir train, will a[)}»roach all stations and wooding places with great care, expecting to find the preceding train taking wood or water at such station, whether it may be a stopping place for that train or not.

A train havins: once left the station cannot return, unless i)y using the greatest possible precaution. In such a case the train should move very slowly, keeping a man with a Tied Flag, or light, a full half Tiiile in advance of the rear end of the train, to avoid any possible collision, and the train must not move until the siii:nal man has had sufficient time to reach at least the half mile. Very extreme cases only will justify a train returning; and even then measures should be adopted to notify Track- men, and notice given them to stop any ap- proaching engine.

Any baggage received, tlie checks anel duplicates of which do not cor- respond, must be reported, forwarding tlie checks and naming the station, whence received, taking a receipt from the owner for the same. When a passenger has lost his duplicate check, baggage must not be ii^iven up unless the person claiming it can describe the contents of each package. 160.
