BNSF Safety Vision

We believe every accident or injury is preventable.

Our vision is that Burlington Northern Santa Fe will

operate free of accidents and injuries. Burlington

Northern Santa Fe will achieve this vision through:

A culture that makes safety our highest priority and

provides continuous self-examination as to the

effectiveness of our safety process and

performance ...

A work environment, including the resources and

tools, that is safe and accident-free where all known

hazards will be eliminated or safeguarded ...

Work practices and training for all employees that

make safety essential to the tasks we perform ...

An empowered work force, including all employees,

that takes responsibility for personal safety, the safety

of fellow employees, and the communities in which

we serve.

Operations Over Mississippi River Bridge—Controloperator located at West Bridge Jct. is in charge of trainoperations over the Mississippi River Bridge and mustauthorize all movements to bridge. If a train stalls onMississippi River Bridge and helper is required, the conductormust immediately communicate with control operator, WestBridge Jct. Unless Mississippi River Bridge has clear runningtrack for movement West to East, trains with less than 2 hoursof on duty time remaining under the Hours of Service Law willnot be permitted to move onto the bridge. The control operatorWest Bridge Jct. must be advised if the crew has 2 hours orless time to work.

Helper Service—Trains operating over the Mississippi RiverBridge in excess of 10,000 tons must have helper on rear. It isrecommended that head end power on such trains be not lessthan 0.80 horsepower per ton to limit buff forces ahead of thehelper(s). The maximum allowable amperage for the helperconsist for various levels of working horsepower up to amaximum of 7600 working horsepower is shown in the tablebelow. If caboose is on rear of train, helper must be cut inahead of caboose. If caboose must be shoved against in anemergency to assist stalled train, the maximum helper workinghorsepower is 6000 and maximum amperage is 850 amps.

Total Working Horsepower Maximum Amperageof Rear-End Helper of Rear-End Helper

3000 or less 1300 AmpsOver 3000 to 6000 1000 AmpsOver 6000 to 7000 900 AmpsOver 7000 to 7600 850 Amps

Excessive Dimension Loads Over Mississippi RiverBridge—No excessive dimension loads exceeding NewOrleans Public Belt Railroad published clearances (Single Loadwith no overhangs maximum 11 ft. 6 in. wide from 20 ft. 6 in.Above Top of Rail to Car Floor height, 3 ft. 8 in. ATR, and/or263,000 lbs. gross weight) shall be moved across theMississippi river Bridge without obtaining prior clearance.Loads exceeding these published clearances will requirecoordination between delivering and receiving carriers throughthe control operator, West Bridge Jct. Control operator must benotified not less than two hours prior to movement.

Excessive Dimension Loads—The conductor and engineerare jointly responsible for the safe movement of high, wide orexcessive weight loads in their train. The conductor isresponsible for compliance with all instructions in an excessivedimension clearance message.

Conductor must advise yardmaster and /or control operatorand engineer that train contains an excessive dimension load.Until the yardmaster or control operator is notified, theconductor is responsible for protection against other wideloads and restricted clearances.

An excessive dimension load may not be moved in a train untilclearance message is received and yardmaster and/or controloperator ascertains any applicable restrictions.

When an excessive dimension load is handled, the yardmasterand/or control operator will control the movement and provideprotection against other movements which may involve a passor meet of other trains and restricted clearances.

KCS Rwy-Beaumont—Train crews going on duty at Houston,Lafayette, Beaumont or Silsbee that operate over the KCSRailroad at Beaumont, must have the current track bulletinspertaining to the KCS Beaumont Subdivision between GCL Jct.and Tower 31. The KCS Beaumont Sub is controlled by theShreveport Train Dispatcher - Console 4, Telephone 318-676-6644, Radio Channel 16-10, DTMF 1.

4. General Code of Operating Rules ItemsRule 2.12—In the application of this rule, the following applies:On the Lampasas Subdivision, when a train is passing theapproach signal (displaying other than Clear) to a control point,a crew member must transmit the following by radio:

- Train identification (initials, engine number and direction)- Signal Name- Control point location- Track (on single track, main track designation is not

necessary)- SpeedExample of Transmission:“BNSF 6301 West approach signal EE Novice at 35 MPH”.

Rule 1.14—BNSF trains use U.P. tracks between Tecific andTower 55 (Ft. Worth)

Cen-Tex trains use BNSF tracks between Ricker and SanAngelo Jct.

Rule 6.19—When flagging is required, distance will be 2 miles.

Rule 8.19—Automatic switches are located at:Kempner ............................................... West End

Rule 9.10—Is amended as follows: Paragraph under theheading “Exception” is amended to read: Within ABS limits, atrain having authority to enter the main track at a switch wherethere is no governing signal will:• be governed by the main track signal provided it can be

determined by signal indication that no train is approachingfrom the rear. A crew member must remain in position tosee the opposing signal until their movement occupies themain track, or

• be governed by the main track signal after meeting a trainwhile that train is still in the block to the rear.

Remote Control Operations—Signs located at MP 221.3(Fort Worth Subdivision), MP 217.5 (Galveston Subdivision)and MP 219.9 (Lampasas Subdivision), designate the RemoteControl Area at Temple Yard.

Train Make-Up Requirements—Trains exceeding 7,500 tonsthat contain a block(s) of 15 or more bi-level and/or tri-levelequipment, must place bi-level and/or tri-level equipment inrear 30% of train by car count.

One of the following train handling methods must be utilizedwith all trains exceeding 7,000 tons when more than 1/2 of thecars in the front half of the train (by car count) are equippedwith end-of-car cushioning:

Limit rapid throttle & dynamic brake changes—Whenoperating a train as described above, compliance withABTH Rule 103.0 is essential regarding the slow andgradual application of train air brakes and locomotivedynamic braking. In addition to those requirements, theabove trains will operate through these undulatingterritories, at a speed sufficiently slow enough to makethrottle changes and/or transitions from power anddynamic braking in such a manner that will allow slack toadjust even more gradually than normal train handlingconditions might otherwise require. In addition, locomotiveconsists utilized to control a train described above mustbe limited to no more than 18 rated axles of dynamicbrake.Stretch braking—When operating a train as describedabove and the first train handling method is not used, theengineer is then required to operate the train throughthese locations utilizing the slack stretched method forcontrolling and or slowing speed as prescribed in ABTHrule 103.6.3 F.

One of the above train handling methods must be utilized onthe Lampasas subdivision on the undulating terrain betweenGober (MP 224) and Sweetwater (MP 460). All train crewsgoing on duty for service over this territory must have a job

18 GULF DIVISION—No. 6—April 2, 2008—Lampasas Subdivision

briefing which will include discussing whether or not their trainfits the above, and whether special train handling precautionswill be necessary.

Siding Sign—When the letter “S” (siding sign) is displayed ona “stop” signal at MP 218.9, the train must stop and a crewmember operate the switch to enter the diverging route, thenbe governed by the signal indication.
