2. All persons in charge of Ballast Trains are to obey the orders of the Company’s Agents, Inspectors, and Police, so far as relates to the time of their running on the Line; and no Ballast Engineman is to leave a siding in front of an expected Train, or without the permission of the Officer in charge of the point.
3. No ballasting is to be carried on in foggy weather, except under urgent circumstances, or by express permission.
4. Ballast Enginemen are to take particular care always to have a proper supply of Coke and Water in their Tenders, so as to prevent the possibility of any detention on the Line from deficiency; and they are also to take care to attach only such number of waggons as can be drawn with certainty, and on no account to leave their Engines while standing on the Main Line.
5. A Red Signal must always be stationed 800 yards back before a Rail is taken out, or any obstruction caused to the Main Line. (See [Rule 17], page 182.)
6. A Green Signal must be stationed 400 yards back whenever the state of the Line requires that the Train should proceed with caution.
7. No rail, block, or chair, is to be removed in a fog, or during the night, except by express permission from the Resident Engineer; and in all cases, before taking out a Rail, the Foreman is to have at the spot a perfect Rail in readiness to replace it.
8. No Truck or Lorry is to be placed on the Line except for the conveyance of materials; and any Truck or Lorry so used is to be followed by a man carrying a Red Signal, at a distance of 400 yards at least. No Lorry is, under any circumstances, to be moved on the wrong Line.
9. No Truck or Lorry is to be used in a fog; and the wheels of Lorries must be constantly locked when not in use.
10. No Lorry is, under any circumstances, to be attached to the end of a Train.
11. Should special circumstances require the use of a Lorry in the Tunnels, or otherwise than in broad daylight, it must be followed by a man with a Red Light, and notice must be given by the Foreman to the Policeman at the entrance to the Tunnel of the time he expects the Lorry will be required in the Tunnel, that the Policeman may keep on the Red Signal during the whole time, and caution any Engineman entering in the Tunnel.
