Comment [RP6]: Revised Changes from Neil Todd Rules Officer

Route Access Standard - IN Section Pages I1 Crossing overlength Train



I1 Crossing overlength Train Crossing of trains at loops where one train is too long to stand in clear on the Portland – Maroona corridor.

Where it is necessary to cross trains, one of which is too long to stand in clear in the crossing loop, the long train must be held outside the crossing loop until the shorter train has arrived in clear

Drivers of the trains operating between Portland and Maroona in conjunction with all other duties must ascertain the total length of their train

Any trains operating at over 900 metres in length must stop short of the crossing loop. When stopping short of the crossing loop the driver of the long train must ensure they do

not foul any level crossings or cause the activation of any level crossing devices. Local radio communications must occur between the drivers of the opposing trains to ensure the cross

can be effected without undue delay.
