If an employee cannot contact the train dispatcher and the time limit expires, your authority expires, and you will need to report to the train dispatcher.
If an employee cannot contact the train dispatcher and the time limit expires, authority is extended until the train dispatcher is contacted
If an employee cannot contact the train dispatcher and the time limit expires, authority is extended for another hour until the train dispatcher is contacted
If an employee cannot contact the train dispatcher and the time limit expires, authority is extended and there is no need to contact the train dispatcher
Answer: If an employee cannot contact the train dispatcher and the time limit expires, authority is extended until the train dispatcher is contactedFeedback: Time limits are often given to trains needing to perform work online such as switching or servicing industries. An expedited freight train en route that can't be delay may cause the dispatcher to request you to be clear by a specific time to allow the freight train to pass.
