ABTH 105.5.1

Answer: 10 mph

Feedback:
The train must not move further than one train length, unless the entire train is visually inspected or the changing brake pipe pressure readings from the DP remotes or ETD indicate that the brake pipe is not obstructed. Best practice is to wait for the result of a train check because a Fail would require stopping. There are conditions, such as being stopped at a crossing, that may require moving with the train check is initiating.
