What is wrong:

No Pending Requests Have Been Submited
Front #277

GCOR 15.1

A crew receives their General Track Bulletins (GTB) at the initial station and notices that one of the subdivisions they will be operating on is not listed on the GTB. What will the crew do in this situation?

  1. The crew can operate on the subdivision without the proper paperwork if they don't exceed 20 mph.
  2. The crew will contact the train dispatcher to determine if the track bulletins are valid.
  3. The crew will tell the dispatcher they can't operate on the subdivision.
  4. The crew can take off with these GTBs without contacting the dispatcher. If there are any restrictions on the subdivision, track flags and/or PTC will notify the crew.

Answer: The crew will contact the train dispatcher to determine if the track bulletins are valid.
Feedback:
If any part of a route you are going to operate on is not listed on the GTB, there is the possibility that a Form A or Form B could be on the route, but your crew wouldn't have any written notification. For example, the GTB says it lists bulletins between MP 1 and MP 50. The final destination is MP 100. This would require contacting the dispatcher to determine if the GTB is valid.
