Answer: Equipment is left on an industry track, beyond the clearance point of the switch leading to the industry.
Feedback:
- The application of this rule regarding the main track, siding, and yard tracks is that the switch must be lined for, not against, the movement that is fouling. - On industry track, equipment must be beyond the clearance point of the switch leading to the industry. Industry tracks are privately owned. We do not want equipment from industry tracks fouling BNSF tracks.
