No Special train or Engine shall leave any I Station without the authority of the Superintendent, nor shall any Engine run tender or train foremost, except from unavoidable necessity, except l)y similar authority. 9. When at a Station the Engine Driver shall be subject to the orders of the Station Agent. 10. Every Engine Driver must have a good watch, and before starling he must compare his time with the Conductor. 11. Engine Drivers and Firemen nmst keep a good look out for and pay immediate attention to all signals, whether the cause for giving them be known or not. The lives of the passengers and safety of the property are entrusted to their care, and they must not only promptly attend to every signal, and all their instruct- ions, but must be vigilant and cautious themselves, so as not to trust wholly to signals and rules for safety. 12. An Engine Driver on duty must not leave his engine, except in cases of great necessity, when he must place it in charge of the Fireman, and notify the Locomotive Superintendent in order that a person may be sent to take his place. Should it at any time be necessary for both the Driver and Fireman to leave :>0 I i. ■13 ^j an engine, the engine must first be put into a siding, and the regulator shut, the engine thrown out of gear, and the tender-brakes screwed Jiard on. 13. Engine-Drivers must run slowly and carefully over rough track and round curves. The Roadmaster, when necessary, will prescribe the rates of speed, faster than which an engine must not be driven over the parts of road indicated, and he will report any violations of his instructions in this respect. 14. In running behind another train the Driver must so run as to allow the train in front to be at least one mile in advance; and in approaching a Station or running round curves great caution must be exer- cised to avoid the possibility of running into the train ahead. No excuse will justify the slightest NEGLECT OF THIS RULE. 15. If a train in motion becomes separated care must be taken not to stop the front portion until the after part has been stopped ; and the men on the after part must apply the brakes in time to prevent a colli- sion with the front part. 16. When approaching Stations, crossing bridges, and passing wood piles, trains must be run at reduced speed and with extreme caution, and the engines must liave their dampers closed. 17. Engine Drivers on approaching a station or road crossing, must sound the whistle at a distance of 800 yards, and will be particular to see that the engine bell is rung not less than 400 yards from all highway crossings, and kept ringing until the crossing is passed. \ « def wl i caj ' th ' 'A itii 21 into a sidirifT e» I out of gear, ind carefully Roadniaster, speed, faster ver the parts violations of the Driver nt to be at n^' a Station 1st be (»xer- to the train SLIGII'IEST trated care ^ until the n the after eut a colli- 8 bridges, It reduced (ines must itation or ^stance of he engine hiffh way s passed. 18. In approaching Stations, Drivers must never depend upon any information they may receive as to where a train ahead a ill stop for fuel, water or other cause, but must always be prepared to stop short of the station. They must invariably run on the suppos- ition that a train may be out of place at a station. 19. In bringing up their trains Drivers must pay particular attention to the state of the weather, and the condition of the rails, as well as the length of their trains, and all these circumstances must have due weight in determining them when to shut oft' steam. Stations must not be entered so rapidly as to require a violent application of the brakes, and any Driver over-running a station will be punished. 20. Engine Drivers must not allow Firemen to shunt cars, or move engines, unless they are upon it themselves to direct its movements. The shunting of cars must not be done at so great a speed as to endan- ger the lives of men engaged in coupling, or injure the property of the Company in any way. 21. Engine Drivers running an empty engine have the same responsibility as Conductors, and are subject to the same rules, and while on the main line must keep at least one mile behind any other engine or train. 22. No engine or train shall pass from a branch on to the main line until the proper signals are giverf that the main line is clear. m ! I. i;<.i i 23 .

Every Engine Driver must carefully examine his engine after each journey, and immediately report to the Locomotive Sup(?rintendent any deficiency, or defect in tlie engine or train. He will also report to his Superintendent, and to the nearest Station Agent, any accident, neglect or irregularity that may have occurred upon the line. 30.

Every Conductor is strictly to observe and obey all signals and special orders which he may receive from officers in charge at Stations. 6. He should not give the signal to start while? passengers are getting on board, and, .as the train starts, he should pass to the rear platform of the last car, and look out for any signals that may be given. 7> After a train has started it shall be under the entire charge and control of the Conductor, who is responsible for the safety of the train and all on board of it. He must see that the Rules and Regulations of the Company, as well as any Special Regulations that may be issued from time to time, are strictly observed by both Passengers and Employes, and he will report any violation of them, _ 8. In very extreme cases only can a train which has once left a station be allowed to return, and then only with tlie exercise of thi' greatest possible degree of caution. 15efoi"e anything is done a man with a red flag or light must be sent fully half -a-inile in advance Mount WMson Memorial Ubraiy 26 <>f the rear end of tlm f • the mah^re'fror''''''"* *° '^ train, or of ..„ ,*<^ Je taCaJ^ra ^o^ "' ^™'^- P--u^^^^^^^ lanterns and tornplo?

If doubt should I arise tliey must take the safe course, J 11. Verbal messages which in any way affect the movements of trains must not, under any circum- stances, be received through a third party. All in- structions not communicated personally or by tele- graph, to the individual for whom they are intended, iniist he in writing. The responsibility of accident resulting from a misunderstanding of this sort will rest upon the person acting without proper authority. 12. The Conductor shall from time to time during the journey examine the wheels, brakes, trucks, springs and journals of the cars, and must see that they are kept in proper order, and the tail signal must also be examined at every Station. 13.

The Road Inspector will maintain a thorough inspection of the road, bridges^ wharves, buildings, culverts, drains, fences, switches, crossings, and every- thing pertaining to the maintenance and safety of the road. All the men employed in the department will be under his charge and supervision, and he will be esponsible for the faithful performance of their duty. 2. Before any foreman or laborer is engaged, he must be made to understand that the wilful transgres- sion of any of these rules will be met with prompt punishment ; and that any insubordination, drunken- ness whilst on duty, being off duty during working hours, or the commission or omission of any act where- by the passage of engines or trains is endangered, will be punished by dismissal. 3. The Road Inspector will be held responsible that every Foreman of Sectionmen, Bridge Carpenters, or other laborers is provided with a copy of the Regulations, a copy of the working Time-table for the time being, the proper signal flags and lamps, and a supply of torpedoes or fog signals ; and also that each Foreman is furnished with an accurate guage for guaging the track, and all other necessary materials, and implements. 4.

He must see that all joints are properly spiked and bolted, and the joint* ties well packed up, and he will especially look at each frog, switch and switch-lock, and all bridges, culverts, and cattle-guards, and satisfy himself that everything appertaining to the road is secured and in perfect order before the passing of the first train. In eases where the road is under repair, or when circum- stances may render it prudent, he shall walk over his beat as often as may be necessary, and shall not leave until after the last regular train has passed over it at night. 6. Track repairers must be particular in watching 'each train as it passes to see whether any notices are dropped off the train, or whether flags or lamps are exhibited on the engine or rear of the train giving notice of an extra train. Special Trains or Engines may pass over the road at any time, and trackmen must always be on the look-out and prepared for them, whether signal has been carried or not. 46 7. The green Signal indicates caution, and is to be used "when it is necessary to slacken the speed of an approaching train : — the red Signal indicates danger, and is to be used when it is necessary to stop the train, and such signals must be sent back a distance of 16 telegraph poles from the place they are meant to protect. Section foremen and foremen of bridge repairs will report promptly in writing to the Road Inspector any failure of train-men to respect signals giving the number of train and of engine. 8. Whenever it is necessary to displace any portion of the track, or in case of any slip or failure of any portion of the works, or in case of any car being required for temporary use on the line, or if from any other cause the track is not safe, the red signal must be conspicuously exhibited at a distance of not less than 16 telegraph poles each way, even if no train or engine is expected ; and during fogs or snow-storms torpedoes must be used in addition to other signals. No hand-car or trolly must be used on the track, or work done, under any circumstances, to impede the transit of trains during a fog or snow-storm, or within fifteen minutes of the time of a train being due. or cul Inspec tunnii The ti tion, notice the IS track 9. When any part of the track is out of repair so as to make it necessary for a train to proceed cautiously, a green signal must be sent 1 6 telegraph poles in the direction whence a train is expected, and kept there until it passes, or the track is made safe. 10.

Ballast must not V>e deposited between the rails- to a higher level than two inches above the ties, and all ballast or gravel dumped alongside of the track must be shovelled to the side far enough to leave a clear passage for trains. Great care must be taken to keep the stone and gravel clear of the rails. 17. In case of any serious accident to a train th^ nearest section foreman will at once take his whole! force to its assistance, even if it is not on his own section. Sectionmen must at all times, night or day, oV>ey any call from Conductors or Engine Drivers of trains in distress. \Vhen assisting a train delayed by accident they will act under the direction of the Con- ductor till the arrival of the Road Inspector. 18. Section foremen must report all accidents occurring on their sections, whether to an engine< JctioW [o tJie All in a 'hat- Ito l>ief 'ctive ^ but bg at "pose, rails- i, and track ave a taken I tJi^ own •s of Jon- / ^ tfain, or by failure of any part of the works, a£ once by telegraph to the Road Inspector. The telegram must be followed by a report in writing, giving full particulars as to time, place, cause, and nature of accident, 19. In case of accident to any person ot* persons, caused by the operations of the road, an immediate report must be made by telegraph to the Road Inspector, and Manager, so that all persons whose duty it is ta take action in such event can be promptly notified. 20. Whenever cattle, horses, sheep or hogs ar6' killed by a train a full report of all the circumstances must be made out in writing and forwarded .to the (load Inspector at once. 21. Section foremen will be held responsible for the safe condition of the fences adjoining the railway grounds, and in case of any temporary break they will at once repair it. It is their duty to see that all gates are properly hung, and have sufficient fastenings in good order, and they and their men shall use every diligence to keep them securely closed at all times, fn the case of gates amissing, they shall endeavor to trac«. and recover tliem, and shall report all such cases to the Road Inspector. The proper upholdance of fences and gates is of the greatest importance, and Section Foremen who are negligent in this respect will be fined. 3nt.s 22. Whenever Cnrd-wood, Sleepers, Lumber or other materials is piled along the track, they must no Viotice that it is placed at least twelve feet from the rails oil the main line, and six feet at Sidini^s, and should any such niati^rial he found nearer they shall at once report to the lload Inspector. 23. When hand-oars or trolleys are not in use they must he lifted off the track entirely clear of passing trains, and the wheels secured hy a chain and lock. They must only he used to convey materials for the line : they must never he attached to a train : and in no circumstances are they to be used for per- sonal purposes, except hy the express permission of the Road Inspector. 24. • Section foremen shall see that no car left in any siding is nearer at any point than six feet from th(; main line, and that the safety-blocks are fastened before the wheels. As a general rule the switch-points must always be kept locked ; dust or small stones must not be allowed to get between the switches and the main rail ; and all the working parts are to be properly oiled so as to move easily and smoothly. 25. All trees within the railway fences which en- danger the same, or tlie t(il(\graph wires, by risk of falling, must be cut down ; and any tree outside the Company's boundary, endangering thi) works, must be reported to the Road Inspector. 26. Animals found straying within the railway fence must be innnedisitely driven off. Owners and occupiers of property adjacent to the railway must keep all gates at private crossings properly shut. In 51 the and ihall use |ir of and trials 'ain : per- m of 'I c ISO of accident through negligence of themselves, or their servants, in leaving them open, they will be held liable for the consecpiences. 27. All persons walking along the line who are not in the Company's service must be warned off; and, in case of non-compliance, their names are to be ascertained and reported to the Road Inspector, or they may be placed under arrest, as the exigencies of the case seem to require. 28. All highway and farm crossings must be kept in the best possible repair, and not obstructed by any material, and foremen must see that the planking is securely spiked down. Cattle-guards must on no account be allowed to become filled up with rubbish, &c., but must always be kept well cleaned out and in proper order. All side tracks must be kept in good order, and the platforms and station grounds should always present a cleanly appearance ; and, in winter, Station platforms are to be kept clear of snow and ice. An untidy section will be considered as evidence of an incompetent foreman. 29. Any temporary injury to the telegraph poles or wires must be repaired as far as practicable, and the damage immediately reported to the nearest Station Agent. When the wires are touching each other they must be separated. 30. All articles found on the track must be promptly sent to the Station Agejit at the nearest station. " "juii ■'^■^■
