Fuller CGE2.6	GRERR	Remote	See note.

Note:

Fuller - When 'Stop' aspect is displayed by absolute signal governing movement over GRERR Crossing, after securing permission of the train dispatcher, conductor or engineer will:

1. Determine GRERR train or engine is not fouling or approaching crossing;

2. Pass signal at least 30 feet but not foul crossing;

3. Wait five (5) minutes; and

4. Proceed at Restricted Speed to the next signal.

15.100 ROAD CROSSINGS AT GRADE

Grand Rapids:

Ann Street - Operating circuit extends 34 feet north and 82 feet south from edge of crossing. Trains and engines will occupy operating circuit but not foul crossing until flasher lights have operated at least 30 seconds.

Bridge Street throught Richmond Street - Train crews performing switching operations over Bridge Street (CGE1.1) through and including Richmond Street (CGE2.6) must protect movements over these crossings with a crew member. Such protection between sunset and sunrise and during inclement weather must include the use of a lighted fusee.

Lake Michigan Drive - Movement approaching crossing on switching lead must not exceed 5 MPH. Supplemental key control box is located on instrument house to be used for movements on switching lead north of crossing.

15.104 SWITCHES

1. Hand-Operated Switches

Baldwin - South Wye switch must be left lined for movement to the West Wye.

16.O.MISCELLANEOUS INSTRUCTIONS

Handling Southward Trains Through Newaygo - To keep dynamic forces at the lowest possible level, southward trains must be handled by one of the following proceedures:

1. Power Braking Method:

With train speed of 30-40 MPH in the vicinity of CGE39.0, continue to use power and apply the train brakes starting with a minimum reduction. Do not permit locomotive's brakes to apply. Make additional service applications and modulate the throttle in order to maintain the desired speed descending the grade. As the train moves off of this grade (CGE36.5), gradually increase throttle in order to control speed to prevent slack from bunching. Endeavor to get as much of the train as possible off the heavy descending grade, consistent with maintaining a speed of not more than 20 MPH, before releasing train brakes.

After releasing train brakes, gradually increase throttle in order to accelerate train and keep train stretched.

2. Dynamic Brake Method:

Have train speed reduced to 20-25 MPH approaching CGE38.0 and gradually apply the dynamic brake. Modulate the dynamic brake in order to keep speed between 20-25 MPH descending the grade. Using the dynamic brake in this speed range should control the train speed without use of the train brakes. As train moves off descending grade, gradually release dynamic brake and use power as required.

In the event it becomes necessary to use train brakes to control speed, made certain train slack is bunched with dynamic brake before train brakes are released.
