GORT3056-B Iss 3

The Working Manual for Rail Staff Freight Train Operations (White Pages) is for the use of all staff concerned with the acceptance, planning, handling, conveyance, marshalling and movement of freight traffic. The requirement for the automatic brake to be operative on the last three vehicles of every freight train is revised to the brake requiring to be operative on the last vehicle only. Additionally, the brake force on that vehicle must not be less than the brake force required (as shown in Table E1) for a train of the weight equivalent to the one fitted vehicle and any piped-only vehicles marshalled immediately ahead of it.
