What is wrong:

No Pending Requests Have Been Submited
Front #288

GCOR 18.7

The PTC display is showing the next signal is a Restricting, but you can clearly see that it's an Approach Medium. How will your train's movement be governed?


  1. Proceed at 49 MPH
  2. Contact the local trainmaster for instructions
  3. Comply with the Approach Medium
  4. Comply with the most restrictive indication
Back #288
Flag

GCOR 18.7


Answer: Comply with the most restrictive indication
Feedback:
When the PTC display does not conform with a wayside or cab signal indication, maximum authorized speed, mandatory directive, timetable, or special instruction, the train must be governed by the most restrictive. The crew must report discrepancies to the train dispatcher.
