Study the following statement and choose right answer from the options given below : The distance between station ‘A’ and station ‘B’ is 12 km. Recently, 3 Nos., Auto-Signals were commissioned in between. Now, as a Section Controller, answer the following questions :-
The train which you dispatched did not reach the next station within time. There might be some failure in the Section. Then what immediate action you will take?
-
A.
Consult DOM/ AOM what action to be taken.
-
B.
Consult Dy.CHC regarding action to be taken.
-
C.
Ask the next station to issue C.O to the trains that are coming in the opposite direction.
-
D.
None of these.
Correct Answer:
C. Ask the next station to issue C.O to the trains that are coming in the opposite direction.
Explanation:
If a dispatched train fails to arrive at the next station as scheduled in an automatic signaling section, the Section Controller must prioritize safety by preventing collisions. The immediate protocol is to instruct the adjacent station to issue a Caution Order (C.O.) to any trains entering the section from the opposite direction. This ensures that following or opposing traffic is alerted to the potential obstruction and proceeds with extreme care while the cause of the delay or failure is investigated.
