What will authorize a track car to proceed past a Stop Signal at an interlocking or controlled point?

• A. Verbal permission in accordance with Rule 241 or Form D line 3
• B. Verbal permission only if approved by Dispatcher
• C. Written Form D notification
• D. None

Answer: (A)

Passing a Stop Signal at an interlocking or controlled point is allowed only when you have explicit authorization. In NORAC, a track car may proceed past the Stop Signal only if you have verbal permission in accordance with Rule 241 or a Form D line 3 entry. Verbal permission is issued by an authorized official (typically the dispatcher or someone designated under Rule 241) to proceed past the signal, ensuring the route is protected for the movement. If there’s a written authorization, it comes via Form D line 3, which serves as the official written instruction to pass the signal. This combination of verbal authority or a Form D line 3 entry is the proper mechanism; other options don’t provide the required controlling authority.
