2. #301.  Clear

Explanation

The correct answer is "Proceed at authorized speed." This means that the person should continue driving at the speed that is allowed or authorized. There are no restrictions or signals indicating that they need to slow down or stop.

Submit
3. #316. Dragging Equipment Indicator

Explanation

The correct answer is "Stop and inspect train for dragging equipment." This option is the most appropriate because it directly addresses the issue at hand, which is the possibility of dragging equipment. It suggests that the train should be stopped and thoroughly inspected to ensure that there is no equipment dragging along the tracks. The other options do not specifically address the concern of dragging equipment, making them less suitable choices.

Submit
4. #317. Take Siding Indicator. 

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
5. #318. Holding Signal

Explanation

The correct answer is "When letter 'H' is illuminated, stay until authorized to proceed." This means that when the signal displays the letter "H," the train must come to a stop and remain there until given permission to continue. The other options are incorrect because they either suggest proceeding without authorization or taking a siding, which is a separate track for trains to pass each other.

Submit
6. #309. Restricting.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Proceed at Restricted Speed." This means that the train or engine must proceed at a speed that allows it to stop within half the range of vision, not exceeding 15 MPH. This speed must be maintained until the leading end of the movement reaches the next signal. However, there are exceptions to this rule. If the signal governs movement to non-signaled territory or to a track signaled for movement in the opposite direction only, then the train or engine can proceed at normal speed until it reaches the crossover, turnouts, or controlled point/interlocking limits governed by that signal.

Submit
7. #304. Diverging Clear

Explanation

The correct answer is "Proceed through diverging route, observing authorized speed through turnout(s) or crossover(s). NOTE: Unless another signal intervenes, movement must be prepared to take diverging route at the next Controlled Signal." This answer accurately describes the instructions for proceeding through a diverging route. It states that the movement should maintain the authorized speed while going through turnout(s) or crossover(s), and be prepared to take the diverging route at the next Controlled Signal, unless another signal indicates otherwise.

Submit
8. #303. Advance Approach

Explanation

The correct answer is "Proceed preparing to stop at second signal." This means that the person should continue moving forward, but be ready to come to a stop at the second signal. This suggests that there may be a potential obstacle or danger ahead, and it is important to be cautious and prepared to stop if necessary.

Submit
9. #311. Non-Automatic Block, Clear

Explanation

The correct answer is "Proceed." This signal indicates that the train or engine can continue without any restrictions. However, if there is a delay after passing this signal, the train or engine must be prepared to stop at the next signal. This signal only provides information about the next signal and does not indicate any conditions on the track.

Submit
10. #307. Approach.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Proceed preparing to stop at next signal. Train or engine exceeding Medium Speed must at once reduce to that speed." This answer is correct because it accurately describes the action that should be taken when approaching the next signal. If the train or engine is exceeding Medium Speed, it must immediately reduce its speed to that level. This ensures safety and proper adherence to the rules and regulations of train operation.

Submit
11. #306.1 Diverging Approach Restricted

Explanation

The correct answer states that when proceeding through a diverging route, the train or engine should observe the authorized speed through turnout(s) or crossover(s) and approach the next signal at Restricted Speed, not exceeding 15 MPH. If the train or engine is exceeding Medium Speed, it must immediately reduce its speed to that level. This answer accurately captures the instructions for safely navigating a diverging route and maintaining appropriate speed limits.

Submit
12. Non-Automatic Block, Approach.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Approach next signal prepared to stop. Train or engine exceeding Medium Speed must at once reduce to that speed. This signal provides information only about the next signal, not conditions of or on the track." This answer accurately describes the meaning of a Non-Automatic Block, Approach signal. It indicates that the train or engine should be prepared to stop at the next signal and must reduce its speed if it is exceeding the Medium Speed limit. The signal only provides information about the next signal ahead and does not convey any information about the conditions of or on the track.

Submit
13. Diverging Approach.

Explanation

This answer correctly states that when proceeding through a diverging route, the train or engine must observe the authorized speed through turnout(s) or crossover(s) and be prepared to stop at the next signal. Additionally, if the train or engine exceeds Medium Speed, it must immediately reduce its speed to that level.

Submit
14. #302. Approach Diverging 

Explanation

This answer is correct because it accurately describes the appropriate approach when encountering a signal indicating a diverging route. The answer states that the movement should proceed while preparing to take a diverging route beyond the next signal at an authorized speed. It also mentions the importance of observing the authorized speed through turnouts or crossovers. Additionally, it notes that unless another signal intervenes, the movement must be prepared to take the diverging route at the next controlled signal.

Submit
15. #306. Approach Restricted.  

Explanation

The correct answer is "Proceed, approaching next signal at Restricted Speed, not exceeding 15 MPH. Train or engine exceeding Medium Speed must at once reduce to that speed." This answer accurately reflects the instructions given in the question, which state that the train or engine must approach the next signal at Restricted Speed and not exceed 15 MPH. Additionally, it states that if the train or engine exceeds Medium Speed, it must immediately reduce to Restricted Speed.
