What action is taken when a line 2 authority is fulfilled after the train clears the limits?

• A. Fulfilled
• B. Cancelled
• C. Extended
• D. Expired

Answer: (A)

Line authority lets a train move within a defined block. Once the train has finished that movement and clears the limits, the authority has been fulfilled—the authorization has been fully used and is now complete. So the action taken is to mark the line 2 authority as fulfilled. If the train were still within the limits or still in progress, the authority would remain active or require extension; cancellation, extension, or expiration would apply in those other situations, not when the limits have been cleared.
