Answer: True

Feedback:
To avoid delays and congestion, a crew member must attempt to contact the employee in charge (EIC). The communication should include the milepost of the red flag and track being used. The EIC may offer instructions to proceed, only then may a train pass a red flag without stopping. There are often trains traveling in both directions and sometimes on multiple tracks through a Form B. It is important to confirm the instructions received are for the correct track and location.
