A train is making a crossover move from the siding to the main track. When can the crossover switches be restored to normal position?
When the trailing end of the crossover move has cleared the siding switch by at least 100 feet
When the movement through the crossover is complete
When the trailing end of the crossover move has cleared the siding switch by at least 50 feet
When the trailing end of the crossover move has passed over the switch in the siding
Answer: When the movement through the crossover is completeFeedback: - Because this move is through a crossover switch connected to a main track, both switches must be restored to normal position upon completion of the crossover move. - If the movement stops with the trailing end still in the crossover and a switch was restored to normal position, the slack of the train could run out and run through the switch.
