Answer: No more than one train length and at no more than 10 mph
Feedback:
Communication interruption between the lead consist and remote DP consist will affect the train check. If your crew can move the train safely, you can do so, but do not exceed 10 mph and do not exceed the length of the train. Then attempt the train check again. Some locations within our system are not conducive to good radio communication. Canyons, tunnels, or heavily wooded locations may require moving the train to improve radio service.
