"Employes working in a tunnel or near the end of the same, when a train approaches from either direction, must stand clear of all tracks, and if in the tunnel must occupy the manholes." |
|
"While in tunnels, employes are required to have an adequate number of lights." |
|
"In tunnels where mechanical draft is installed to remove the gases, workmen should not be allowed in the tunnel when the draft machinery is not in operation." |
|

|
"Trains will be run in either direction, on any track, whenever necessary or expedient, and workmen will be governed accordingly." |

"It is the duty of every employe working on or about the tracks of this Company to exercise great care to avoid injury to himself and others, and nothing in these rules is to be so construed as to relieve any employe from performing his full duty in that respect." |
|
"Employes must examine and know for themselves that tools, material, etc., which they must make use of in performing their duties are in proper condition. If not, they must put them so or report them to the proper person and have them put in proper order before using." |

"As an extra precaution, when necessary to place a watchman at some distance from the men at work on the tracks, or in such location that his signals may not be understood, additional watchmen should be placed so that the signals can be passed to the men at work and return signals obtained. In case return signals are not received and understood the watchman must signal the train to stop." |
|
"When working on tracks in places where approaching trains cannot readily be seen because of permanent obstructions to the view, or temporary obstructions, such for instance as fog, storms, snow, or engines or cars, extra precautions must be taken to warn the men of approaching trains. Foremen, Watchmen and others in charge of gangs or squads of workmen must provide themselves with a whistle, and should use the same in warning men when working in places where approaching trains cannot readily be seen." |
|
"Foremen or others in charge of employes working on or about the tracks must instruct their men to be alert, watchful and to keep out of danger; and will take the necessary precautions to see that all men working under their immediate supervision receive warnings of approaching trains in time to reach a place of safety." |
|
"Watchmen, patrolmen, track walkers and others on duty which makes it necessary for them to be on the track, where there are two or more tracks should when practicable, travel against the current of traffic, keeping a sharp look-out in both direction for approaching trains." |
|
"It is the duty of every employe working on or about the tracks of this Company to exercise great care to avoid injury to himself and others, and nothing in these rules is to be so construed as to relieve any employe from performing his full duty in that respect." |
|
"When large numbers of inexperienced men are working on the track they should be divided into small squads and each squad placed in charge of an experienced man, and all necessary additional precautions taken to prevent accidents." |
|
"On the approach of a train employes who are working on or about the tracks must move to a place of safety. They must not walk or stand on the tracks except when necessary for the proper performance of their
duties." |
|
"Hand cars or hand trucks must not be used at night, nor in the daytime when approaching trains cannot readily be seen by reason of fog, storm, or snow, except by permission of the Superintendent." |
