    Study Notes

    Train-Staff and Ticket System Essentials

    • This system involves a single Train-staff that is kept at one station within a section of single track railway.
    • A train cannot leave either station towards the other unless the Train-staff is at the departing station and presented to the Loco Pilot by the Station Master.

    Applicability of the System

    • This system is used specifically on single-track railway lines, between designated "Train-staff stations."
    • The Train-staff and Ticket system is declared by special instructions for specific sections of the railway line.

    Conditions for Following Trains

    • For trains to follow each other on the same direction between Train-staff stations, several conditions must be met:
      • The Loco Pilot must be informed about the preceding train's departure time and next stop.
      • All these trains must operate at the same speed, not exceeding 25 kilometers per hour, unless otherwise specified.
      • A minimum interval of fifteen minutes must pass since the departure of the preceding train.

    Train-staff and Train-staff Tickets

    • A train must have either the Train-staff or a Train-staff Ticket in the Loco Pilot's possession for the section of the line it's traveling over, before it can depart.
    • The Train-staff or Train-staff Ticket is delivered to the Loco Pilot by the Station Master or a designated railway servant.
    • The issuance of the Train-staff or Ticket depends on the presence of other trains in the section and follows specific rules:
      • When no other train is scheduled to follow before a train traveling in the opposing direction requires the Train-staff, the Train-staff is given to the Loco Pilot.
      • If multiple trains are scheduled to follow before the Train-staff is returned, a Train-staff Ticket is given to each Loco Pilot, except the last, indicating that the Train-staff is following. The Train-staff is given to the last Loco Pilot.
      • When a train is assisted by a second engine in the rear, a Train-staff Ticket is given to the front engine's Loco Pilot, and the Train-staff to the rear engine's Loco Pilot.
      • If both engines on the train are to travel the whole section with the Train-staff and are followed by other trains, a Train-staff Ticket is given to each engine on the first train.
      • If a train is assisted by a second engine in the front, the Train-staff or Ticket is given to the leading engine's Loco Pilot.
      • When a material train has to stop between stations, the Train-staff is delivered to the Loco Pilot.
      • The Train-staff or Ticket is not delivered to the Loco Pilot unless the train is ready to depart.
      • The Loco Pilot is not allowed to accept a Train-staff Ticket unless he sees the Train-staff at the same time, in the person's possession who is delivering the Ticket.

    Train-staff Handling

    • When the Train-staff is given to the Loco Pilot, it's placed in a designated, visible location on the engine.
    • No train can follow the first mentioned train from the station until the Train-staff is returned to the station.

    Procedure Upon Train Arrival and Engine Breakdown

    • Upon arrival at the destination for the Train-staff or Ticket, the Loco Pilot gives it to the Station Master or designated railway servant.
    • They immediately cancel the Train-staff Ticket.
    • In case of an engine breakdown with the Train-staff, the Assistant Loco Pilot brings the Train-staff to the Staff-station where assistance is most easily obtained.
    • When an engine with the Train-staff Ticket breaks down, assistance is usually sought from the station where the Train-staff is left; however, if assistance is faster from a station on the other end of the section, immediate steps are taken to transfer the Train-staff.
    • Regardless of whether the engine has the Train-staff or the Ticket and breaks down, the Assistant Loco Pilot accompanies the assisting engine to the breakdown site.

    Train-staff Ticket Usage and Record

    • Train-staff Tickets are kept in a ticket-box that is locked by the Train-staff.
    • The Train-staff, when at a station, is not left in the box but kept by the Station Master.
    • Each Train-staff is marked with the names of the Train-staff stations at each end of its section.
    • Each Train-staff, Ticket, and associated box is distinctly colored for different sections of the line.
    • “Up” and “Down” Train-staff Tickets also have distinguishing markings.
