GSR Rule Book - 1933

STATION YARD WORKING.

96. Where the traffic at a station is worked under special instructions, the Signalman before lowering the signals for a train to enter the station, must satisfy himself that the special instructions have been complied with, and that the line is clear to the point to which the train has to run, but if he be in doubt, or if there be another train, vehicle or vehicles, at the platform to which the train has to run, he must stop the train, and, except where calling-on signals are in use, verbally instruct the Driver to proceed cautiously, and must exhibit a green hand signal, held steadily. Where a calling-on signal is provided this must be used instead of giving the verbal warning and green hand signal.

97. When a train is allowed to proceed towards the rear of another train which is moving forward, the Dirver of the second train must follow cautiously and at such a distance as will enable him to avoid colliding with the first train in the event of its being stopped, and he must not pass a signal which has been lowered for the first train until it has been replaced to Danger and again lowered.

98. When a signal is lowered for a train to leave a station or siding to run towards a train ahead of such signal, the Driver must proceed at such a speed as will enable him to stop before reaching the train ahead.
