Engine Service Employees will accept the inspection of the engine at points where mechanical forces have made an inspection of its condition. This means that the employees will agree to and acknowledge the inspection that has been carried out by the mechanical forces.

When a train has more than one engine, the rules apply equally to the engineer of each engine. This means that both engineers are expected to follow the same set of rules and regulations while operating the train. They are both responsible for ensuring the safety and proper functioning of the train, and must adhere to the same guidelines and procedures. Therefore, the statement is true.

The correct answer is "Delay to the train." When a defect occurs en route, the dispatcher must be notified as soon as possible without delaying the train. This means that the notification should be made promptly without any hesitation or waiting for the situation to worsen. The priority is to inform the dispatcher in a timely manner so that appropriate actions can be taken to address the defect and minimize any further delays or complications.

By making a written report, engine service employees can effectively communicate the details of their work and contribute to the overall maintenance and safety of the engine.
