When a Conductor or Engineer is relieved, all Form D's and instructions that have not been fulfilled or canceled must be?

• A. Left with the previous crew
• B. Delivered to the relieving Conductor or Engineer
• C. Filed with the train manifest
• D. Cancelled

Answer: (B)

When a crew is relieved, any active orders or instructions must be handed over to the next crew. Form D’s and instructions that haven’t been fulfilled or canceled still carry authority, so the relieving conductor or engineer must receive them to know the current directives, restrictions, and any open actions. If they were left with the previous crew, the new crew wouldn’t have the necessary information to operate safely and in compliance, which could lead to violations or unsafe conditions. Filing them with a manifest wouldn’t make them accessible to the new crew, and canceling them when they’re not actually fulfilled would remove valid instructions prematurely. So the correct action is to deliver all unreached or still-in-effect Form D’s and instructions to the relieving conductor or engineer.
