A train must not enter Working Limits until permission has been received by?

• A. The Dispatcher
• B. The Engineer in Charge
• C. The Track Supervisor
• D. The Employee in Charge (Unless a Working Limits Speed Limit Sign is displayed)

Answer: (D)

In NORAC, entering a Working Limits area is controlled by the person in charge of the work site. The train must obtain permission from the Employee in Charge to enter, because this person oversees the work zone’s safety and track conditions and can communicate any restrictions to the train crew. If a Working Limits Speed Limit Sign is displayed, it sets the speed allowed inside the Limits; with that sign in place, the train may enter and proceed at the indicated speed without needing separate permission, though all other safety rules still apply. The Dispatcher, the Engineer in Charge, and the Track Supervisor do not grant entry into Working Limits in the same authoritative way.
