6(b).....Employes are prohibited from riding on pilot or pilot beam of engine, or on footboard between engine and cars when cars are being pulled, shoved, switched, or while coupling is being made.
Streamliner cars are equipped with diaphragm full width of the car. There is no clearance between the ends of these cars when coupled. Employes must stay entirely in the clear while these cars are being switched or coupled.

6(c).....When adjustment is necessary to drawbar, knuckle pin, or locking block, prior to making coupling, or when coupling fails, engines or cars must be separated, not less than 10 feet and action taken to prevent movement before going between cars.

6(d).....Where helper engine is used behind caboose helping train, helper pilot will ride engine, and engine will be uncoupled by trainman from caboose platform.

6(e).....When heading out of sidings, freight trains with helper engine behind caboose, must regulate speed so that rear trainman can line switch and get on caboose instead of tank of helper engine. This as a matter of safety because employes are prohibited from using running board of engine or passing from front of engine to caboose while train is in motion.

6(f).....Employes are forbidden to stand with feet resting upon car trucks, truck frame, or oil box while car is in motion.
