The Train being flagged will become an irregular Train. 92. If any part of a Train becomes detached •?!»«» Train when in motion, care must be taken not to stopd«toched. the first pprt of the Train, before the rear pai't has been stopped ; and it is the\iuty of the Conductor or other Trainman on the rear part to apply Breaks in time to prevent a collision with the front part, in the event of the latter either stopping or returning to re-couple to the rear part. The same Eule must be observed in this case as in Rule No. 95, I. e.: A Trainman must proceed 800 yards from each end of the detached part of the Train, — the one in the Front to prevent the Engine running into the rear part on returning for it, and the one at the Back to warn any approachiiig Train of the danger. In all cases, these men must take with ihem. and use if necessary, Detonating and Danger vSignals. The Engine and front part of the Train must return with great caution for the rear part. 28 CONDUCTORS AND BREAKSMEN.

At sunset, the Car and Signal Lamps must be lighted ; and the Conductor must satisfy him- self at every Station that all is right as regards lamps, axle-boxes, breaks, couplings, &c. 94. No other light than the Eed Tail Lamp or Eed Side Lamps must be exhibited from the rear of the Train ; and when a Train is standing in a Siding, and the Main Line is clear, the Eed Tail Lamp or Eed Side Lamps must be obscured during the time the Train is stationary in the SWing : but special care must be taken tO uncover the Lamps the moment the Train . proceeds to run on the Main Line. 95. In the event of a Train being brought to a stand between two Stations, or outside of Sema- phore, the Conductor must send Breaksmen, or other properly qualified persons, 800 yards from each end of the Train, who must take with them and use Detonating and other proper Signals, to warn any approaching Train. 96. On Passenger Trains, a Breaksman must always be stationed on the rear platform of the last car, who must look out for signals th'at may be given from a Station to a Train after it has started, and see that the arms of Semaphores are raised as i I OOXDUCTORI AKD BRBA.K3MiD(r. 29 directed in Rule No. 201 to Switchmen and Signal- men, and any case of neglect must be at once reported to the Conductor, who must report the same on his journal to the TraflSiC Superintendent. 97. Conductors are responsible for the safe Coupling coupling together of the links of all the cars in the Beii Rope. Train, and for the proper connection of the rope attached to the Bell in the cab of the Engine, which must not be removed until the Train is at a stand at the end of a journey, and all the passengers have left the cars. 98. On the arrival of a Train at the end of a inspection of Oars at journey, the Conductor must personally examine en* ^^ each car to see if any articles have been left by passengers. If anything be found for which there is no owner, it must be handed over to the Station Master. Conductors must see that fires and lamps are extinguished, and the windows closed. 99. Conductors must deposit their boxes in the DiapoBition place set apart for them. 100. Conductors and Breakt men must allow no To prevent one to leap on or off their Train while in motion, amTo^f Cars and must refrain from doing so as much as possible Motion, themselves.

K any part of a Train becomes detached when in motion, care must be taken not to stop the first part of the Train before the rear part has been stopped ; and it is the duty of the Conductor or other Trainman on the rear part, to apply breaks in time to prevent a collision with the front part, in the event of the latter either stopping or returning to re-couple with the rear part. Thu name Rule must be observed in this caise as in Rule No. 92, page 27. A Trainman must proceed 800 yards from each ei^d of the detached part of the Train, the one in front to prevent the Engine running into the rear part on returning for it, and the one at the back to warn any approaching Train of the danger.

As Constables may often be called on to arrest persons charged with offences, it is very neces- sary that they should inform themselves as to the extent of their powers, especially as to when they will be justified in arresting without a warrant, and in what cases a warrant is necessary. They must always bear in mind, however, that their first duty is to guard the property of the Company and protectj^tlie persons and property of passen- gers ; and although under certain circumstances it may be right for them to lend their aid in arresting criminals, yet they must be careful not to neglect their ordinary duties for the purpose of doing what comes more properly within the provinc*^ of the Municipal authorities. 260.
