A train operating in ABS on a clear signal stops to make a set out. Once the set out is complete, how should the train proceed to next signal?

  1. At restricted speed until the next signal is visible, that signal displays a Proceed indication, and the track to that signal is clear
  2. At reduced speed until the next signal is visible, that signal displays a Proceed indication, and the track to that signal is clear
  3. At restricted speed until the leading wheels pass the next signal, that signal displays a Proceed indication, and the track to that signal is clear
  4. At maximum authorized speed prepared to stop at the next governing signal

Answer: At restricted speed until the next signal is visible, that signal displays a Proceed indication, and the track to that signal is clear
Feedback:
Multiple trains can be authorized in the same limits in ABS provided they are all moving in the same direction. GCOR 9.17 allows a train authorized on the main track to open a switch, wait 5 minutes, and then proceed on to the main track if they do not hear or see movement approaching. A train that has been delayed could potentially encounter another train that has complied with 9.17.
