Who must show or read Form D line 4 or 13 to the person in charge of the additional equipment?

• A. The Engineer In Charge of the out-of-service limits
• B. The Dispatcher
• C. The Engineer In Charge of the trains
• D. The Track Foreman

Answer: (A)

When equipment is restricted or out of service, the overseer responsible for those out-of-service limits must communicate the exact instructions to the person who will handle any additional equipment. That communication is done by showing or reading Form D, specifically the lines that carry the critical details about restrictions and how the extra equipment should be configured. Those lines are the ones the person in charge of the additional equipment needs to see to proceed safely and correctly. This duty sits with the Engineer In Charge of the out-of-service limits because they oversee the scope and nature of the restrictions and are responsible for relaying the precise conditions to the person managing the extra equipment. Others involved—such as the Dispatcher, the Engineer In Charge of the trains, or the Track Foreman—do not have this particular responsibility for communicating the out-of-service instructions to the person handling the added equipment.
