What term designates the specific operating rule or group of operating rules that govern the use of tracks, as designated by the Timetable?

• A. Rules-in-Effect
• B. Scheduled Train
• C. Railroad-Supplied Electronic Device
• D. Pilot

Answer: (A)

Rules-in-Effect is the term used to designate the exact set of operating rules currently governing track usage on a given timetable subdivision. The timetable specifies which rules apply and any special instructions are included in that Rules-in-Effect to ensure crews follow the correct procedures for that location and time. The other options refer to a scheduled train, a device, or a person, none of which denote the rule set.
