If the work involves on-track equipment or will disturb the track or catenary structure so that it would be unsafe for Normal Speed, what must be issued?

• A. Form D Line 4 OR Form D Line 5
• B. Form D Line 4
• C. Form D Line 5
• D. Form D Line 6

Answer: (A)

Temporary protection for on-track work is provided through a Form D to tell train crews what movements are allowed and what speed restrictions apply where work is taking place. When the job involves on-track equipment or will disturb the track or catenary in a way that would make normal-speed running unsafe, a Form D must be issued to establish protection for the affected area. The line chosen on that Form D depends on the exact situation: if the work involves equipment operating on the track, use Line 4; if the disturbance to the track or catenary makes normal-speed unsafe, use Line 5. So, issuing a Form D on Line 4 or Line 5 is required to ensure proper protection.
