GCOR 14.7
Answer: - The rear of the train has a rear-end telemetry device, and air pressure on the head-end device indicates brake pipe continuity - An inspection while stopped verifies marker is on the rear car of the train - A crew member can observe the rear car on which the marker is placed, or an employee verifies the marker is on rear - Trackside warning detector transmits an axle count for the train and the axle count duplicates the axle count previously transmitted by the previous trackside warning detector
Feedback:In non-signaled territory, knowing the train is complete is especially important. If authority is released and any part of the train is still on the track behind you, there is no signal warning the train behind you that there may be an obstruction on the track.
