If a train that has passed a block signal stops for any reason other than a passenger train making a station stop, it must proceed at what speed?

• A. Full speed
• B. Reduced speed to a minimum
• C. Restricted Speed
• D. Minimum approach speed

Answer: (C)

After a block signal forces a stop, you may resume movement only at restricted speed. This speed is chosen so you can stop within the distance you can see ahead and with your braking capability, keeping you prepared to stop for the next signal or any obstruction. It’s slower than normal operation but not a crawl, and it ensures you re-enter the block system safely after a stop. Full speed would ignore the risk, and the other terms aren’t the defined movement after a stop at a block signal.
