DIRECTIONS .*■... ■ , ' . ■ ' ^ ' FOB THB USE OP DETON!ATING SIGNALS. 1. — ^During fbggy' weather, snowstorms, or at tttiy time when the ordinary signals cannot be seen, detonating signJEils are to be placed on the rail, (label upwards,) by bonding the lead clip round the upper flange of the rail, to prevent its falling o£f. When the engine passes over the signal it exploded with a loud report, and the driver is instantly to stop. 2. — The use of detonating signals is to be in addition to the regular day and night signals of the line, which nrnst M first eo^hibited, ' . 3.— Whenever an accident occurs to a train, 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 conductor and brakesman must go each way at least SOO yai^ds (or sixteen telegraph poles,) or more if near a steep grade or a curve, to stop an approaching engine or t^rain; 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. — :~^ '■m 4. — ^Whenever an engine passes over one of these signals, the engihe-driver and conductor are immediately / '"^.■^IgT^ 3 lLS. at tttiy ) seen, 1, (label ) upper hen the a loud iddition , which or the ly place ted, the lastSOO near a igineor rail, at Is; and istanee, f these to Btop\he train, and the conductors are to protect their train byVsending each way and placing a signal on the line ever)\ 200 yards, to the distance of a quarter of a mile, and then proceed slowly to the place of obstruction. 5.. — Every driver of an engine liot accompanied by a conductor, is to use these signals ^ cose of accident or obstruction, in the manner before mentioned ; be and the fireman fixings them as the conductors are herein directed. And when an engine passes over ope of the signals, the driver, having stopped his engine, is to send back and placemen the rail one signal every 200 yards, for the distance of a quarter of a mile, and then proceed slowly 10 the place of obstruction. 6.-^ After the obstruction of the line is removed, ^%e conductor or engitie-driver must remove all the signals from the rails before proceeding. 7. — In any of the above circumstances, and in the absence of either of the officers above mentioned, any engine-man, foreman of works, or any other servant of the Company, is to observe the same rules ta guard against danger. ;^ g.__Every conductor, switchma^nginemauj and fore- man of trackmen, must provide bi^iself vi^th 12 detonating signals each, which they J^ always to have ready for use whilst on duty; and ev^y station agCTpMaust provide himself with 12 signals, which are to be kept in an Un- locked drawer or shelf, in order that they , may at all 7-, ediately — (i-; / y 14 . ■ times bo easy of access to all on duty at the station ; and every person connected with the' station shall ^o made acquainted with the place where they are deposited. 9. — All the persons above named will be held responsi- ble for having the proper supply of detonating signals. When one or more are expended, it is their duty imme- 1- thci diately to apply to their superior officer for a further supply of them, to keep up the stock as above directed.

At start- ing, the enginoman must bo careful not to injure th# couplings by a sudden jerk, and ho must look out behind^ to see that the train is properly attached. 5.— The engineman is to stand by the handgea# ttn( keep a good look-out for signals, &o., all the time that the engine is in motion ; and the fireman is also to keep a good lookublio road, and that the bell be rung 600 yards before reaching '•"!^! S nrv^i such crossing, until the crossing be passed. In foggy weather the utmost vigilance and caution must be used, and the whistle blown at least every mile, 14— Ballast j wood, or construction trains, or empty engines, are prohibited from passing along the line in a fog, except when specially authorized to do so. 15/— No engineman is to pass from a branch on to the main line until the switchman signals the main line clear. 16,^— Trains are under the orders of the conductor, to. whose instructions as to stopping, starting, &c., the engine- man is^ilP pay particular and careful attention. ■ 17.— In cases of doubt or difl&culty, relative to running the trains, enginemen and conductors must consult eaeh other, as ihey will be held ejtta% responsible for any violation of the rules through forgetfulness, negligence, or any other cause. : VS.— Whilst the train is in mation, the engine driver will be held responsible for compliance with the Company's rules and attention to signals. 19._If any part of a train is detached when in motion, care must be taken noi to stop the train in front, before the detached part has stopped, and the conductor or brakesman of such detached part must apply his brake in time to prevent a collision with the cars in front. !^0*^--In approaching stations, and crossing all bridges and viaducts, and iu passing wood piles, all trains are li .1 M 'I i ■> -tj» 20 requirefd to run at reduced speed and "with {extremo caution, and !the en^cs to have their dampers closed. 1' 21. — ^The targets of all switches should he perceived to he correctly set before they are passed, and in starting their trains enginemen must he most careful to ascertain that the switches are right.

He must also report to the locomotive . jbreman and to the station master or station clerk at the Nearest station, and at the terminal station, any accident,, neglect, or irregular occurrence, that he may have observed upon the journey. No engineman when acting without a conductor, shall, without the express permission of the station agent, move his engine on any pretence from any siding on to the main line* 23.— in running behind ano^er train, ^e must so run as to allow the train to be not less than one mile in advance, and on approaching a station, and entering or running round curveSj great caution must b6 used to avoid the possibility of running into the train ahead.

' 26.— EiJgiijemen in bringing up their trains are to pay particular attention to the state of the weather and the condition of the rails, as well as the length of the traiti ; and these circumstances must have due weight in deter- mining when to shut oiF the steam. Stations must not be entered so rapidly as to require violent application of the brakes, and any engineman over-running the station will be reported. : 27.— Should fire be discovered in the train, the steam must be instantly shut off, and the brakes applied, and the train be brought to a stand, the signal of obsjiru^^n to the line be made, and the burning car or cars be detached with as little delay as possible. No attempt must ever be made to run to the nearest tank, if it is more . than three hundred yards from the place v We the fire is discovered, as" such a course is likely to increase the danger. n y , ^ 'fti^s,. >■ .",.
