Crews of trains arriving at May Street on foreign routes must communicate with the Merchants Dispatcher before entering TRRA routes, regardless of any proceed indication displayed on any signal governing entry to the TRRA route being used to determine that any proceed signal indication applies to their train.

In addition, the following will apply: Movements on the NS tracks at May Street are authorized by the NS Yardmaster at Luther (Humboldt Tower) who must be contacted to obtain route before fouling NS tracks. On single track between Carrie Avenue and the North Wye Switch at Rock Island Junction, Westward TRRA movements must be reported to the Merchants Dispatcher after they have cleared Rock Island Junction or the North or South Wye Switches. All Eastward movements must be authorized by the Merchants Dispatcher. When authorized, trains must proceed immediately. 6. On the West Belt Industrial Lead at the Shreve Avenue highway grade crossing, a push-button control box has been installed for manual activation of the crossing gates and flashing light signals. This push-button control is only to be used for train movements on the ADM industry tracks. The control box is mounted to the side of a signal case on the east side of Shreve Avenue between the two ADM industry tracks and the two TRRA tracks. The push-button box is secured with a dual access lockout device for a TRRA lock and an ADM industry lock. Removal of either lock will allow access to push-button. To activate the crossing gates and flashing lights, first unlock and remove the TRRA Master Lock and dual access device. Push the RED button to begin activation. After completion of train movement across Shreve Avenue, push the GREEN button to raise the crossing gates and turn off the flashing light signals. Secure the push-button box as soon as possible after completion of the train move. A crewmember must remain at the crossing and be able to directly observe the push-button box whenever it is unlocked during a train movement. NOTE: When the warning system is activated with the RED push-button control, the gates and flashing lights will remain activated until the GREEN push-button is pressed. If the crossing gates and flashing lights do not begin operation with use of the push-button control, the movement should be made with flagging protection and notification of failure given immediately to Merchants Dispatcher. North Belt Industrial Lead extends 1.97 miles from Carrie Avenue on the West Belt Industrial Lead to BNSF Connection (1350 feet past Hall Street). Movements on the North Belt Industrial Lead are under the jurisdiction of the Madison Yardmaster. Maximum Speed between Carrie Ave and Antelope Street Curve is 20 mph. The NS Bridge at Antelope Street has a vertical clearance of 19’1”. There is close clearance on the West side of the bridge (the “outside” of the curve). If employees are required to ride equipment under this bridge, they must ride on the East side of the equipment (the “inside” of the curve). The engine bell must be rung while passing houses located on the North side of the track between the West side of Hall Street and Antelope Street. Employees are prohibited from riding shoves across Hall Street. If necessary to shove across Hall Street, employees must dismount equipment West of the crossing and may re-mount only after the equipment has occupied the entire crossing. The 4th Rail Industrial Lead extends from the switch just west of the Union Avenue Overpass to the End of Track approximately 1100’ west of the crossover to the Main Line at Pickrel. It provides access to Gateway Sheets, ABB, the Sap Lead, and Madison Street Warehouse. Central Belt Industrial Lead extends from Bodine Industrial Drive to approximately 350’ south of the South Wye Switch at Rock Island Junction. It provides access to Hilex Poly.

The area is under the jurisdiction of the Madison Yardmaster.

The maximum authorized speed on all tracks inside the Granite City Complex is 5mph.

SI-07 INDUSTRIAL LEADS: Yardmasters issuing permission to anyone requesting to foul or occupy any track(s) within their jurisdiction must give notification to the person(s) requesting the permission of any conflicting movements, to include notification of any crews servicing customers in the area. Upon notification of conflicting movements along their route, the employee requesting the route must contact the crew(s) working in the area and conduct a rolling job briefing prior to joint use. Wiggins Industrial Lead Wiggins Industrial Lead breaks out at CP Jct. (MP 1.26) and extends 6.5 miles through Wiggins #2 and Wiggins #5 yard to MacArthur Bridge Sub, Springfield Connection at (MP 3.63). Movements on the Wiggins Industrial Lead between CP Junction (CP TA801), and the A&S Switch at 19th Street are under the jurisdiction of Madison Yardmaster. Movements on the Wiggins Industrial Lead between the A&S Switch at 19th Street and Springfield Connection (CP TA905) at Valley Junction are under the jurisdiction of the West Belt Dispatcher. The A&S switch at 19th street is controlled by the A&S Bowl Yardmaster. Movements over the switch may be made after permission is received from the A&S Bowl Yardmaster via radio channel 015-015. Maximum Speed is 20 mph between the Levee Wye Switch and the North end Wiggins #5 (Including Track #25 at Wiggins #2 Yard). Maximum Speed is 5 mph while occupying Madison Yard radio controlled power switch #51 if the switch is lined for movement toward the South Levee, regardless of the direction of travel. The permanently fixed hinged-type derail on the West Main approximately 100 feet south of the MLK crossover is to remain in the derailing position and secured with a TRRA 104 lock. At Illinois Route 3 (Mississippi Avenue), Sauget, Illinois, the grade crossing warning system has been modified. A crossing Hold signal with radio control is now in service on the eastside of Route 3, governing Westward movements across Route 3. The Hold signal has two signal units mounted on one high-pole mast. The upper signal unit is turned toward the Monsanto Industry track inside the fenced area. The lower signal unit is aligned toward the Old Main and Cotton Belt tracks. Switching movements may now be made East of the Hold signal without unnecessary activation of the flashing lights and crossing gates at Route 3. When a Westward movement is needed past the Hold signal and across Route 3, the train crew will activate the warning system using the on-board engine radio in the following manner: a. Using the TRRA Merchants radio channel (026-026), enter 121 followed by [#] on the numeric keypad of the radio. If this activation code is entered correctly, the train crew will hear a short acknowledge tone back from the crossing radio, and the crossing warning system will begin activation. The Hold signal, which is normally Red, will change to a Lunar signal, thirty four (34) seconds after activation of the warning system begins.

The Westward movement then has an additional thirty (30) seconds to pass the Hold signal and begin entry into the crossing area. Otherwise, the timer will expire, the Hold signal will return to Red, and the crossing warning system will de-activate.

b. After activation with the radio controller, if it becomes necessary to de-activate the crossing warning system because the movement will not pass the Hold signal, the train crew can either let the timers expire (64 seconds total) or enter the de-activate code on the engine radio: Enter

c. If the crossing warning system fails to activate by radio control, the following steps must be taken: - Immediately report the failure to the West Belt Dispatcher. - Governed by Restricted Speed, slowly begin Westward movement past the Hold signal, stopping before fouling Route 3. The crossing warning system will automatically activate - Then a crew member will check and ensure that a minimum of thirty (30) seconds passes before the movement is allowed to continue Westward across Route 3. d. This change to the crossing warning system governs Westward movements only. Crossing warning system activation for Eastward movements is still automatically controlled by motion sensor circuits. The speed on tracks 5 through 8 at Wiggins 5 Yard is 5mph. No 6-axle locomotives are permitted in tracks 5 through 8. Permanent Hinged Type Derails have been installed at both the north and south entrance of the Wiggins Levee Track. These derails are equipped with a #104 TRRA switch lock. Conologue Industrial Lead extends 1.34 miles from the North Cotton Belt Wye Switch (Wiggins Industrial Lead MP 5.37) southward to the end of track. Movements on the Conologue Industrial Lead are under the jurisdiction of the Madison Yardmaster.

REMOTE CONTROL BY RADIO

Radios used must be equipped with an active DTMF keypad and TRRA Merchants Channel (026-026). Each switch machine is programmed with its own unique operating code. While pressing the PTT or Transmit button

on the radio, the first keystroke required will always be the # key. The # key would then be followed by three numbers. The first two numbers identify the individual switch or crossover, and the third number identifies the

action requested. The action codes are as follows:

1 = NORMAL switch throw

2 = TOGGLE switch throw (each “toggle” command moves switch points to opposite side) 3 = REVERSE switch throw

Example for Switch #71:

Normal throw = #711 (Switch 71, Action 1) Reverse throw = #713 (Switch 71, Action 3)

Toggle switch = #712 (Switch 71, Action 2)

LOCAL CONTROL BY PUSHBUTTON

To operate the switch locally by pushbutton:

a) Visually inspect the switch points for any possible obstruction. b) Unlock (if so equipped) and lift the door cover of the pushbutton box marked “OPERATE”. There are two

pushbuttons inside, NORMAL and REVERSE.

c) Press the appropriate pushbutton. Do not hold the pushbutton “in”. Once the machine starts the throw cycle, release the pushbutton. After the switch machine shuts off, visually inspect the points again to verify the

proper closure. d) Lower the pushbutton box door and replace the lock (if equipped).

3. A hand throw switch (New Stock Yard Switch) is installed immediately south of the Brooklyn Team Track

Switch. The new switch allows for movement between the UP Stock Yard Track and the TRRA Eads Main. The

switch must remain lined and locked for main line movement with a TRRA #104 lock when not in use.

Trains and on-track equipment must gain authority to occupy the Eads Main by contacting the TRRA Merchants Dispatcher prior to operating the New Stock Yard switch. The TRRA Merchants Dispatcher must also be

informed when the switch is returned to and locked in its normal position.

4. The entire Eads Subdivision is within Yard Limits.
