Answer: - Another authority is not in effect unless conflicting movements are protected - A track bulletin Form B is not in effect - A main track is not removed from service by a track bulletin - Permission to leave a switch in the reverse position has not been granted

Feedback:
The dispatcher is verifying that there are no trains, maintenance of way employees, or any piece of railroad equipment (switch, track) that will impede the safety of the train making the back-up move. A back-up movement does not require visual protection from the train crew.
