What is a non-controlled track designated in the timetable upon which movements may be made subject to prescribed signals and rules, or special instructions?

• A. Running Track
• B. Schedule
• C. Return Movement
• D. Qualified

Answer: (A)

In NORAC operations, a running track is the non-controlled track designated in the timetable for movement under prescribed signals and rules or special instructions. This means the track isn’t controlled by interlocking or fixed block signals, but trains may move on it as long as they follow the timetable’s signals and any extra instructions. The other terms don’t fit this idea: a schedule refers to the timetable itself, a return movement is a specific type of movement returning to a point, and being qualified relates to personnel authorization, not the track designation.
