Which form should be issued if work involves on-track equipment or disturbs the track or catenary so that Normal Speed would be unsafe?

• A. Form D Line 4
• B. Form D Line 5
• C. Form D Line 4 OR Form D Line 5
• D. Form D Line 6

Answer: (C)

When work on or near the tracks involves on-track equipment or disturbs the track or catenary in a way that normal speed would be unsafe, you must issue a Form D that communicates the required protection and speed restriction. The lines designed for these hazards explicitly cover this scenario, and either line can be used depending on the exact conditions and the protection needed. The key is that the form alerts trains to slow down or stop as necessary to protect workers and equipment. Other lines are for different situations and wouldn’t provide the appropriate protection for this hazard.
