What is wrong:

No Pending Requests Have Been Submited
Front #167

GCOR 6.4.2A

The head end of a BNSF locomotive has stopped between the outer opposing signals of a control point. Does the BNSF train need permission to change?


  1. No, the locomotive needs permission to make a reverse movement
  2. Yes, because now the locomotive is now considered the trailing end of the movement.
  3. No
  4. The locomotive needs authority to change direction within the control points
Back #167

GCOR 6.4.2A


Answer: No
Feedback:
The locomotive is still the leading end of the movement. The trailing end is still the rear car. Since the rear car did not stop within the control points, the train needs no permission to change direction. This would be considered making a reverse move within the same signaled block.
