GOING UP THE TUNNEL.
11. The Tunnel-breaksman in going up is to take charge of the messenger. Before starting, he will take notice of the position of the Breaks, and in case of the rope or messenger giving way, he will be required immediately to get to the Break and put it on fast, so as to prevent the Train going down the Tunnel.
12. In a Train of five coaches, the Train-guard will be sufficient; but if the Train exceeds that number, there must be a Tunnel-breaksman, and for every additional five coaches there must be an extra Breaksman.

13. No Waggons are to be sent down the Tunnels without special permission.

15. The Station Master, or the Assistants on duty at Edge Hill, will also do the same at the Tunnel top; and before a Train is allowed to start, the Officer on duty will be required to see that the Guard and Breaksman are properly placed.
