Which term refers to a publication used to summarize changes to the Timetable and other instruction manuals, containing revision pages issued periodically by the designated officer?

• A. Fouling a Track
• B. Engine
• C. General Order (GO)
• D. Fixed Signal

Answer: (C)

General Orders are formal publications used to summarize changes to the Timetable and other instruction manuals, with revision pages issued periodically by the designated officer. They relay updates such as new rules, procedures, or changes in how work is to be performed, and provide the specific pages or sections affected along with an effective date so crews can apply the changes right away. The other terms don’t describe a publication: fouling a track is a safety term about a position on or near the tracks, an engine is a locomotive, and a fixed signal is a type of signaling device.
