1155-A1. No locomotive shall be used to handle a train between derail located 1155 feet east of North Madison station and Bridge 44.14 (Main Street, Madison) unless it is equipped with special cylinder brake equipment with pressure relief valve operated from engine cab in operative condition, type M-3-A feed valve and double top compressor governor set to maintain reservoir pressure at 100 and 130 pounds. The locomotive must be headed west and operated at the east end of the train. Movement of light engines is prohibited. Movement of trains exceeding 15 cars in length or 500 gross tons exclusive of engine and tender is prohibited.

The air brake equipment on the locomotive must be inspected, tested and repaired in accordance with paragraphs 21 and 22 of Brake and Train Air Signal Instructions No. 99-C-1. The special cylinder brake equipment must be maintained free of leaks and before being dispatched for movement between North Madison and Madison must be tested in accordance with prescribed instructions. The Enginehouse Foreman must at all times know these instructions are properly followed. The engineman must also inspect and test the air brake equipment on his locomotive prior to departure from engine terminal, and on his locomotive and train prior to departure from yard terminal in accordance with Paragraphs 21, 22 and 6 of Brake and Train Air Signal Instructions No. 99-C-1, and further test the effectiveness of the cylinder brake equipment by reversing the locomotive with throttle valve closed approaching North Madison, and manipulating the relief valve, to insure that sufficient pressure can be built up to retard the speed of the train.

The air brake equipment on all cars dispatched for movement from North Madison to Madison must be inspected, tested and repaired in accordance with Brake and Train Air Signal Instructions No. 99-C-1. The engineman and conductor moving trains from North Madison to Madison must know that the air brake equipment on locomotives and cars is in a serviceable condition to safely handle the train.

After assembling train to be moved from North Madison to Madison and complying with the provisions of Brake and Train Air Signal Instructions No. 99-C-1, the brake pipe must be 95 to 110 pounds and a running test of the air brakes made approaching the derail located 1155 feet east of the North Madison station. While stopped at that point, train air brakes must be released and handles of pressure retaining valves on all loaded cars must be placed in high pressure position, and the handles of pressure retaining valves of empty cars placed in release position, unless the train consists of all empty cars, in which case handles of pressure retaining valves must be placed in low pressure position, and thereafter brakes operated so that brake cylinder pressure on the cars does not exceed 60 pounds. After train has moved east of the derail, reverse lever must be placed in full forward motion and relief valve opened. The relief valve must be adjusted to avoid building up pressure high enough to stop the rotation of the drivers and still maintain maximum retarding effect. Train air brakes must be manipulated to avoid speed in excess of 12 miles per hour at any point on the grade and a minimum running time of 5 minutes from the derail located 1155 feet east of North Madison station to Bridge 44.14 (Main Street, Madison) must be observed. All trains must be controlled by air brakes and locomotive cylinder brake. If after leaving North Madison a condition arises which makes the use of hand brakes necessary, the engineman will give the usual call for brakes and the trainmen, where practicable, will apply hand brakes in accordance with Paragraph 15 and 15A of Brake and Train Air Signal Instructions No. 99-C-1.
