 Learning Points

 Calling out of Signal properly.

 No communication gap between LP & ALP. In case of confusion,
most restricted aspect of the signal to be followed.
 Proper LRD of all yards and calling out of signal even for yard
movement / shunting movements.
 Proper LRD and practical handling of LP/ALP should be closely
monitored by CLI before recommending for competency test.

INDEX
 Learning Points
while starting and stopping

 Calling out of the signal before starting the train.

MAIL/PASS  Not to engage in any activity during starting and stopping of train.
 Confirmation of the signal by LP & ALP independently.
 Calling out of the signal before starting the train.
GOODS  Not to engage in any activity during starting and stopping of train.
 Confirmation of the signal by LP & ALP independently.

 Calling out of the signal before starting the train.

MEMU  Not to engage in any activity during starting and stopping of train.
DMU  Calling out the signal even for LP of MEMU/DMU & EMU.
EMU  Put reverser at neutral and apply brake in case of EMU/DMU/MEMU
after stopping the train before RED signal.

INDEX
 Learning Points
at RED signal
 LP should control speed of the train while passing the Yellow signal in such a way that
train stops well before Danger signal.
 While passing Yellow signal, ALP to hold RS valve and if speed is high, should apply
emergency brakes in time so that train stops well before RED signal
 Complete attention on signal while starting/stopping the train.
 Stopping the train at adequate distance from RED signal.
 Not to presume any signal without confirmation.

 Brake application Technique for heavy loads to be ensured.

 Dead stop the train at adequate distance before RED signal. Then drag
GOODS train carefully towards RED signal in case of clearing fouling mark or
calling-on zone occupation.

MEMU  Put reverser at neutral and apply brake in case of EMU/DMU/MEMU

DMU after stopping the train before RED signal.
