Special Instructions - Page 10

...bearings in the journal boxes may be due to lack of oil. If the box is not blazing, the oil plug in the cover should be removed and engine or valve oil added. Oil must never be added to a box that is blazing. After the oil has been added and plug replaced, the train should proceed at reduced speed and care exercised until it is apparent that the box will run cool. If fire develops in roller bearing box of any equipment, it must be closely watched, train moved slowly, and Superintendent notified from first available point of communication, who will prescribe for the movement.

Some engines and cars equipped with roller bearings have heat indicators or stench bombs inserted in the housing of boxes which release a strong pungent odor in the event of excessive journal box temperatures. When this odor is detected train must be stopped at once and box located. Compare the temperature of this box with the other boxes on the same engine or car, check the oil level, and if there is no evidence of overheating, train may proceed, but if the box is overheating, proceed only as instructed in the preceding paragraph.

Ore cars equipped with roller bearings have box cover painted orange, four inch white stripe full length of car beneath stenciled name "GREAT NORTHERN", and "TIMKEN ROLLER BEARINGS" stenciled in black across center of white stripe.

Cars or engines equipped with roller bearings must not be allowed to stand alone, even on level track, without brakes adequately applied.

24.....OSCILLATING EMERGENCY RED HEADLIGHT will be immediately displayed by day or night when a train is disabled or stopped suddenly by an emergency application of air brakes or when engineer or conductor find it necessary to stop train due to some defect which might cause accident, over-running clearance point at meeting and waiting point, end of double track or junction.

Engineer of an approaching train observing display of emergency red headlight must stop before passing and be governed by conditions existing. If operating on adjacent track, ascertain and if safe for passage, then proceed at restricted speed until train is passed.

OSCILLATING EMERGENCY RED REAR END LIGHT is of two types-Automatic Control-Portable Manual Control-and except as otherwise provided, must be displayed by day or night each time train stops or is running at speed less than 18 MPH. Automatic Control type automatically functions in this manner.

However, when train running at speed above 18 MPH and moving under circumstances in which it might be overtaken by another train or engine and during foggy and stormy weather, light may be operated manually with emergency switch and employes to afford other protection prescribed by rule.

THE USE OF EMERGENCY RED HEADLIGHT AND REAR END LIGHT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY RELIEVE ENGINEMEN AND TRAINMEN FROM RESPONSIBILITY OF COMPLYING WITH RULES 99 AND 102.

Emergency red rear end light must be extinguished; when standing at origin and terminus stations of train run; when switching being performed from rear; when on siding to be passed by another train; and, when another train operating on adjacent track is approaching from rear, but not until it is known such train is not on same track.

Portable light must be removed before coupling to rear of such car.

Oscillating white light on engines will be displayed in addition to standard headlight governed by Rules 17 and 17(B). In case of headlight failure it can be used as emergency headlight or as a focus light by push button control if desired.

Enginemen and trainmen on trains and engines equipped with oscillating emergency red lights must familiarize themselves with the operation of the lights.

25.....Rule D-97 is in effect on this Division.

26.....Trains handling flat or skeleton cars loaded with logs must stop at appropriate locations immediately before passing over through-truss bridges or through tunnels and make thorough inspection of all cars of logs in their train, making certain train and lading are in safe condition before proceeding. Extra stops en route will be made for this purpose when in the judgment of the conductor it is necessary.

Trainmen must maintain watch behind their trains for logs that may have rolled off cars and if main track is fouled take prompt action to protect trains.

On double track, conductors must notify train dispatcher when logs are to be handled and the log train must be at stop when being passed by other trains, except that when two trains handling logs are passed either one should stop until the other train has pulled by whether on siding or double track.

On single track, trains handling logs must be at stop when meeting or being passed by passenger and freight trains, except when there are more cars than siding will hold, it is permissible for log train to pull by such trains at restricted speed. Logs must be secured to cars by chains or cables.

Unless conditions require further speed restrictions, trains handling logs must not exceed 25 MPH.

No trains may pass under overhead railroad bridge at Snohomish when cars loaded with logs are passing over this bridge.
