    Explanation
    When Form D's have been fulfilled or cancelled, they need to be marked with an "X" to indicate their status.

    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is explaining the different methods by which a Form D can be delivered to employees. It states that the Dispatcher may personally deliver the forms or give them to an Operator who will be responsible for delivering them. It also mentions that the forms can be dictated through radio, telephone, or in person. This suggests that the statement is true, as it provides multiple options for delivering Form D's to employees.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    If an error on a Form D is discovered after "Time Effective" has been given, the Form D must be cancelled.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If an error is discovered on a Form D after "Time Effective" has been given, it means that the form has already been processed and approved by the relevant authorities. In order to rectify the error, the Form D must be cancelled and a new form must be submitted with the correct information. This is necessary to ensure that the correct and accurate information is provided to the authorities and to maintain compliance with regulations. Therefore, the statement "If an error on a Form D is discovered after 'Time Effective' has been given, the Form D must be cancelled" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Form D's may be cancelled on the same form when: 1) the dispatcher contacts the addressees with his intent to cancel. 2) He states the Form D number and date, the cancellation time and date and his initials. 3) The dispatcher and addressees must record all cancellation information in the appropriate section of the Form D. 4) The addressee must repeat the Form D number and Date. 5) The Form D is cancelled when the dispatcher confirms the cancellation information is repeated correctly.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When cancelling a Form D, the dispatcher must contact the addressees and inform them of the cancellation. The dispatcher then needs to provide the Form D number and date, cancellation time and date, and their initials. Both the dispatcher and addressees must record this information on the Form D. Additionally, the addressee must repeat the Form D number and date to confirm the cancellation. The Form D is considered cancelled when the dispatcher confirms that the cancellation information has been repeated correctly. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

    This statement is true. Blanket addresses can be used on a Form D, such as "Eastward Trains". A Form D is a filing that is submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by companies that are offering securities in a private placement. The purpose of the Form D is to provide information about the offering, including the names and addresses of the company's executive officers and directors. Blanket addresses are used when the company does not want to disclose the actual physical address of these individuals, and instead provides a general address, such as the name of a company or a P.O. Box.

    • The Dispatcher

    • Bulletin Order

    • Timetable

    • Engineer or Conductor

    Correct Answer
    A. The Dispatcher
    Explanation
    A Form D is created by the authority of the Dispatcher. The Dispatcher is responsible for managing the movement of trains and ensuring their safe operation. A Form D is used to restrict or authorize movement and convey instructions that are not covered in the Operating rules. The Dispatcher has the authority to issue a Form D to provide specific instructions to train crews regarding their movement and operations.

  • 10.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because before dictating a Form D, the dispatcher needs to specify the number of copies to be made if more than one copy is required. Additionally, the dispatcher must not give "Time Effective" until the Form D is repeated correctly by all receiving employees. This ensures that all necessary copies are made and that all employees have accurately received and understood the information on the form.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Form D's must be

    • Numbered consecutively each day beginning at midnight

    • Numbered beginning with the date and time issued

    Correct Answer
    A. Numbered consecutively each day beginning at midnight
    Explanation
    Form D's must be numbered consecutively each day beginning at midnight. This means that each form should have a unique number that follows the previous form's number in a consecutive order. The numbering should start from the first form of the day and continue throughout the day, resetting at midnight for the next day. This ensures that each form is easily identifiable and helps in maintaining an organized record-keeping system.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    When speed signs cannot be displayed immediately, the dispatcher must not use portions of a mile on the Form D, unless used in conjunction with a physical location.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When speed signs cannot be displayed immediately, it is important for the dispatcher to not use portions of a mile on the Form D, unless it is used in conjunction with a physical location. This means that without the presence of speed signs, the dispatcher should not rely solely on fractional mile measurements for indicating speed limits. Instead, they should always provide a physical location reference along with the fractional mile measurement to ensure accurate communication and adherence to speed limits. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    When additional copies of a Form D are required they must be written on a new form D

The reason for this is that the Form D's for a train need to be addressed to the individuals who are responsible for operating and piloting the train, which includes the conductor and engineer. Additionally, anyone else who acts as a pilot, meaning they have the authority to operate the train, should also be included in the address for the Form D's.
