Frequent inspection shall be made by trainmen of track behind moving train to detect if anything on the train is dragging so that if any indications of fresh marks on the track are observed the train may be brought to a stop as quickly as possible to avoid derailment. When caboose is equipped with electric spot light it shall be used at night to make such track inspection; when not so equipped trainmen shall use electric lantern for this purpose.

During winter weather at points where inspections are made train line in first four cars behind engine shall be thoroughly blown out to prevent ice from forming in train line due to moisture accumulation.

These instructions do not supersede Rules 713 and 812 of the Consolidated Code of Operating rules, but are supplementary thereto.

63.....Rule D-97 is in effect on this division.

64.....Trains handling flat or skeleton cars loaded with logs must stop at apprpriate 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. In electrified zone and double track territory, 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.
