EXAMPLES.
(1) No. 2 has right of track against No. 1, Mecca to Mirbat.
(2) Extra 37 has right of track against No. 3, Natal to Ratlam.
This order gives a train of inferior right the right of track against one of superior right to a designated point.
If the trains meet at the designated point, the train of inferior right must take the siding, unless the rules or orders otherwise indicate.
Under this order, as illustrated by example (1), if the train of superior right reaches the designated point before the other arrives, it may proceed, provided it keeps clear of the schedule time of the train of inferior right as many minutes as the inferior train was before required by the train rules to keep clear of the superior train.
If the train of superior right, before meeting, reaches a point beyond that named in the order, the conductor must stop the other train where it is met and inform it of his arrival.
Under example (2) the train of superior right cannot go beyond the designated point until the extra train arrives.
