Rule 99 Movements on a FRA Excepted track must not exceed
- A.
Restricted Speed
- B.
10 M.P.H
- C.
20 M.P.H
- D.
15 M.P.H within interlocking limits 20 M.P.H Outside interlocking limits
Correct Answer
B. 10 M.P.HExplanation
The correct answer is 10 M.P.H. This is because Rule 99 states that movements on a FRA Excepted track must not exceed Restricted Speed, which is defined as 10 M.P.H. Therefore, any movement on this track should not exceed this speed limit.Rate this question:

Passenger trains are allowed on a FRA Excepted Track
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Passenger trains are not allowed on a FRA Excepted Track. FRA Excepted Track refers to a track that is exempt from certain Federal Railroad Administration regulations. These regulations are put in place to ensure the safety of trains and passengers. Since passenger trains are not allowed on an FRA Excepted Track, the statement "Passenger trains are allowed on a FRA Excepted Track" is false.Rate this question:

98. Movement on a track not governed by ABS, DCS or interlocking rules must be made at
- A.
10 M.P.H
- B.
30 M.P.H
- C.
Restricted Speed
- D.
15 M.P.H
Correct Answer
C. Restricted SpeedExplanation
Restricted Speed is the correct answer because when movement on a track is not governed by ABS (Automatic Block Signal), DCS (Dispatch Control System), or interlocking rules, it means there are no automated systems or signals in place to control the movement. In such cases, trains must operate at Restricted Speed, which requires them to proceed at a speed that allows them to stop within half the range of vision, always being prepared to stop short of any obstruction or train ahead. This ensures safety in the absence of automated control systems.Rate this question:

- A.
Restricted Speed
- B.
10 M.P.H
- C.
20 M.P.H
- D.
30 M.P.H
Correct Answer
A. Restricted SpeedExplanation
Restricted speed is the correct answer because when moving on a running track, it is important to maintain a controlled and cautious speed to ensure safety. Restricted speed allows for better maneuverability and reaction time in case of any obstacles or sudden changes in the environment. It is a recommended speed limit to prevent accidents and maintain a safe environment for all individuals using the track.Rate this question:

97. Movement may only begin on Running Tracks after receiving:
- A.
Clear Hand Signal
- B.
Signal Indication
- C.
The proper communicating signal (buzzard)
- D.
Verbal Permission of the employee governing movements on that track
Correct Answer(s)
B. Signal Indication
D. Verbal Permission of the employee governing movements on that trackExplanation
Movement on Running Tracks may only begin after receiving a Signal Indication and Verbal Permission of the employee governing movements on that track. These two steps ensure that there is clear communication and authorization for the movement to take place. The Signal Indication provides a visual cue to the person initiating the movement, while the Verbal Permission from the employee ensures that all necessary precautions and safety measures have been taken into account before allowing the movement to proceed.Rate this question:
-

97. When Movement has been completed on a Running Track what must you do?
Correct Answer(s)
Report ClearExplanation
After completing the movement on a running track, it is necessary to report clear. This means informing the relevant authorities or individuals that the track is now clear and available for use by others. This is important for safety reasons, as it ensures that everyone is aware that the track is no longer occupied and can be used without any obstruction or potential danger. By reporting clear, it helps to maintain order and prevent any accidents or collisions that may occur if someone is unaware that the track is still in use.Rate this question:

100. Coupling or Switching equipment , (What Amount) crews must not work simultaneously on the same track until conducting a Safety Job Briefing
Correct Answer
Two or More , 2 or more, 2+Explanation
The correct answer is "Two or More, 2 or more, 2+". This means that crews must not work simultaneously on the same track unless there are at least two or more crews present. This is important for ensuring safety during coupling or switching operations. By having multiple crews, they can communicate and coordinate their actions to prevent accidents or mishaps. It also allows for better supervision and monitoring of the work being done.Rate this question:

100. Couplings on H-tite Couplers must not exceed
- A.
2 to 4 M.P.H
- B.
2 M.P.H
- C.
4 M.P.H
- D.
Restricted Speed
Correct Answer
C. 4 M.P.HExplanation
Couplings on H-tite Couplers must not exceed 4 M.P.H. This means that when using H-tite couplers, the speed at which the couplings can operate should not exceed 4 miles per hour. This is likely due to safety reasons, as exceeding this speed could potentially cause damage to the couplings or result in accidents. It is important to adhere to this speed limit to ensure the proper functioning and longevity of the couplings.Rate this question:
-
- 10.
100. Before Coupling to Standing equipment ,__________must be applied on that equipment to prevent it from rolling
Correct Answer
Sufficient Hand BrakesExplanation
Before coupling to standing equipment, it is necessary to apply sufficient hand brakes on that equipment to prevent it from rolling. Hand brakes are a safety measure used to secure stationary equipment and prevent any unintended movement. By applying sufficient hand brakes, the equipment remains stationary and reduces the risk of accidents or damage caused by rolling.Rate this question:
- 11.
100. When Must you stretch the slack of a coupler?
- A.
After Making Couplings and Before Initiating Shove Movement
- B.
Before Coupling
- C.
After Making Couplings Only
- D.
Before a Return Movement
Correct Answer
A. After Making Couplings and Before Initiating Shove MovementExplanation
After making couplings and before initiating the shove movement, it is necessary to stretch the slack of a coupler. This is important because stretching the slack helps to ensure that the couplings are properly aligned and securely connected. By stretching the slack before initiating the shove movement, any potential issues or misalignments can be identified and addressed before the train starts moving. This helps to prevent accidents or damage to the couplings and ensures the safe and smooth operation of the train.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Equipment with Spear-type couplers must be coupled at speed not to exceed 2 M.P.H
C. A stop must be made just prior to coupling
D. Engine or cars must Not be detached until the equipment has stopped
F. Curtains and electric jumpers must be disconnected before cars are separatedExplanation
When switching passenger equipment or occupied camp cars, it is important to follow certain guidelines. Equipment with Spear-type couplers must be coupled at a speed not exceeding 2 M.P.H. A stop must be made just before coupling to ensure a safe connection. Engine or cars should not be detached until the equipment has completely stopped to prevent any accidents. Additionally, curtains and electric jumpers must be disconnected before separating the cars to avoid any electrical hazards.Rate this question:
