Signal Sighting Committee Minutes and Report – Signal B106.4 (78) – 12th February 2015

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Document Purpose This document has been produced as a record of discussions and the decisions made by the signal sighting committee on the 12th February 2015 regarding the position of B106.4 (78) signal on the Up Kooragang Branch.

1.2 Sighting Committee Attendance Refer to the ARTC Signal Sighting Attendance List Form, dated 12th February 2015, and the signed Signal Sighting Form C361SSF023 Rev0.2.

1.3 Pre-Walkout Brief During the previous signal sighting for B106.4 (78) signal, conducted on 29th January 2015, read-through issues were identified with NCIG departure road Signals 64, 66, 68 (future) and 176.8 (future) in the background of Signal B106.4 (78).

The signal sighting committee concluded that a fence would be required to be built to obscure Signals 64, 66, 68 (future) and 176.8 (future).

At the time of the second sighting committee for B106.4 (78) held 12th February 2015, the preliminary design of the fence revealed that not all signals can be obscured due to insufficient track centres between Departure Road 1 and the UP Kooragang Branch. The maximum constructible extent of the fence, based on a minimum 3.0m clearance to the nearest running rail #1, will not obscure signal 68 when signal B106.4 (78) (in its original design position of 171.270km) is first visible when the train driver is under the fly-over bridge structure.

#1 In accordance with the ARTC Heavy Haul Infrastructure Guidelines and ETM-07-01, the minimum clearance from track centre for the fence

structure is 4.3m, which exacerbates the constructability constraints identified in the preliminary design using 3.0m clearance to the face of the nearest running rail. Refer to Section 3.4 ‘Post Meeting Note’.

Due to the constructability risks with the fence, as well as the fact that the preliminary fence design resulted in Signal 68 being visible during the initial sighting of B106.4 (78), the project decided to investigate the option to relocate Signal B106.4 (78) back approximately 140m closer to the flyover to reduce the read

through problem without the installation of a fence. The initial suggestion was to move it such that the signal is positioned 125m from the entry to the flyover to provide adequate sighting.

The main issues with the repositioning of signal B106.4 (78) towards fly-over (away from points) were highlighted as follows:

• The existing design position of Signal B106.4 (78) is 300m from 160 points which is at the limit of the preferred maximum distance that signals associated with points should be from the points. Moving the signal further away will not be in accordance with SDS-01 Principle 1.13.

• Whilst the immediate read-through problem will be eliminated, the NCIG departure road signals will still become visible when the train is under the fly-over bridge structure, and will be passed by drivers as they travel along the UP Kooragang Branch.

2.0 Walkout and Sighting – 10am 12th February 2015

Note: The original design position for Signal B106.4 (78) was 171.270km. The required (optimal) sighting distance for 45kph is 125m.

2.1 Signal B106.4 (78) at 171.410km (140m from original position) At this position the signal is visible from the entry to the flyover, 125m away. However, due to the curvature of the track on approach to the fly-over from KCT, whilst the signal will become visible much further back (approx. 300m), it then becomes obscured again by the fly-over abutment, before returning to sight. This was deemed unacceptable by the train operator representatives.

Moving the signal closer to the original design position at 171.270km (away from flyover) only worsened the situation.

2.2 Signal B106.4 (78) at 171.450 (180m from original position) At this position there were no sighting issues and the signal was visible from approx. 200m away from the flyover bridge (the worst case position) such that the signal will be continuously visible and not obstructed by the fly-over abutment.

It was observed that the NCIG Departure Signals 64 and 66 are visible part-way through the flyover underpass.

It was agreed on site that positioning Signal B106.4 (78) at 171.450km was acceptable, taking into consideration that the NCIG Departure road signals become visible when the train is under the flyover bridge.

The driver’s advised that with the signal in this position, drivers could potentially stop in advance of the fly-over. SPAD mitigation measures for some of the train operators require trains to stop 50m before the signal, and to slowly crawl up to the signal.

3.0 Post Walkout Discussions

3.1 B106.4 (78) Signal at Original Design Position (171.270km) with Fence A fence obscuring all signals was deemed (at the previous sighting committee meeting on 29th January 2015) to be an acceptable solution if B106.4 (78) is to remain in its designed position at 171.270km. However, the preliminary fence design shows that Signal 68 will still be visible when B106.4 (78) is first sighted from under the fly-over bridge. It was agreed that this could still lead to driver confusion, so as it stands the fence is not an acceptable solution.

The fence design is being further developed by Aurecon Hatch. Once complete, the final understanding of the visibility of other signals will be advised to the sighting committee members.

3.2 Reposition B106.4 (78) Signal to 171.450km The following issues were discussed in relation to positioning Signal B106.4 (78) at 171.450km without fencing:

Issue Comments Resolution

Sighting Distance Sighting distance is greater than 200m (requirement was 125m for 45kph)

Accepted OK

Continuous sighting on approach

At 171.450km there is uninterrupted sighting. Due to the curvature of the track the signal would be obstructed on approach if it is positioned any closer to 162PTS.

Accepted OK

NCIG Departure Signals visible on approach (when train driver is under the flyover) and when train stopped at 78.

Other signals aspects can be seen in the distance but driver route knowledge and brightness of immediate signal 78 will be adequate to mitigate against driver acting on the wrong signal. One driver commented that in an ideal world a fence to obscure the NCIG departure signals would be constructed in addition to relocating the signal, however, the absence of a fence was accepted.

Accepted OK

Train travelling on UP Kooragang having passed signal 78 at clear or caution, but then seeing Red aspects from NCIG departure signals to the left. This could lead to driver confusion and/or conditioning to passing near signals at danger.

The next relevant signal on the Up Kooragang Branch is Signal 82 (shunt) and Signal 84 (main), which are beyond the junction with NCIG departure roads on the other side of the Hunter River bridge. Driver Route Knowledge will mitigate risk of confusion as no other signals are expected for this line once Signal 78 has been passed.

Accepted OK

Adequate Standage for train at Signal 78 to be clear of 101 points.

The distance from proposed 171.450km to 101 points (171.457km) is in excess of 2000m. Even with a train stopped before the flyover bridge (100m before the signal) there will still be adequate standage to clear 101 points.

Accepted OK

Distance of Signal from Points Proposed Signal position is approx. 480m from 162 points, well beyond the preferred maximum distance of 300m. A waiver will likely be required.

Follow up required.

233582-00 2 March 2015



Technical Note

3.3 Conclusion The original design position of Signal B106.4 (78) at 171.270km with a fence only partially eliminating read through to the NCIG departure road signals is not acceptable. Alternative fence designs are being investigated.

The repositioning of Signal 78 to 171.450km, without a fence to obscure signals, is an acceptable option and was agreed by the signal sighting committee subject to this Report being circulated for review and subsequently being attached to the signal sighting form.

4.0 Post Meeting Notes

4.1 Fence Structure Clearance In accordance with ARTC Heavy Haul Guidelines and ETM-07-01 the minimum clearance from the adjacent track centre is 4.3m. The fence investigations will be based on this requirement moving forward, rather than 3.0m to the face of the nearest running rail as used previously.

4.2 LED Signal Details

Existing Signals The existing signals are Westinghouse RM4 Standard Range Mainline type with Sighting Distance >= 0.5km in accordance with ARTC Type approval 08-08-10-021.

Figure 4 – Existing Signal Types

New Signals The new signals to be installed are of Siemens RM4 Medium Range type in accordance with type approval (Invensys) 02-1208-IR-126. The nominal sighting distance for the medium range is 500m and are equivalent (equivalent of 08-08-10-021 – Westinghouse RM4 Standard Range Mainline). Therefore the new NG68 will have similar brightness to existing NG64 and NG66 signals. The main difference is the horizontal spread where the older signals will have horizontal cut-off whereas the newer signals will have a more conical beam. [Ref #1]. NOTE: A new B106.4(78) signal will be installed when the Up Kooragang Branch is slewed Ref #1 – phone conversation with Wayne McDonald from Siemens Rail Automation Technical Team.

Signal Sighting Report – Signal B106.4 (78) – 29th January 2015

Version 2 – Updated to ARTC Comments (Document Checking)

Signal Sighting Date: 29th January 2015

Signal sighting for Signal B106.4(78) was conducted with sighting viewed from the part finished new alignment of the Up Branch line (no track or ballast installed).

There are no obstructions to viewing the signal from the flyover (approx 300m) right to the signal. However, there are significant read through issues with the following signals in the background:

• Signal 64 (existing Departure Road 1)

• Signal 66 (existing Departure Road 2)

• Signal 68 (new Departure Road 1 installed Stage 4)

• Signal 176.8 (new Departure Road 1 installed Stage 4)

Signal sighting (and photos) was conducted from approx 200m back from signal, approx 100m after the flyover. As the track has not been built we viewed from approx position and did not traverse up and down the line for different angles along the curve.

The figure 1 below shows the approx positions of signals. The highlighted yellow line is the approximate sight line which highlights the read-through issue with signals in the background. Signal 64 could also be a problem when first coming out of the fly-over due to the curvature of the track.

Initial Actions:

• AH to investigate erection of barrier behind Signal 78 to block out view of signals behind it. There is very limited space between the UP BRANCH and DEPARTURE ROAD 1.

• Design to consider repositioning of signal.

The photos below are all taken from approx 200m from signal 78. Note that the photo for sighting of 78 is at a slightly different angle to the remainder.

ARTC Risk Assessment - Context Setting

CONTEXT SETTING

1. Background

The NCIG 2F signalling stage 3 works involves the slewing of the Up Kooragang Branch to it's final alignment under the new NCIG fly-over. There are no route layout changes during this stage to be commissioned 10-13 March 2015. The stage 4 commissioning on 19-22 May 2015 will bring into operation the new NCIG arrival fly-over tracks. Two of the existing NCIG arrival roads will be decommissioned with being converted to form an additional departure road (NCIG Departure Road 1).

Signal sighting for signal 106.4 (signal 78) at it's original design position of 171.270km was conducted on 29 Jan 2015. At this time it was concluded that read-through of two other existing signals (64 and 66) and two additional stage 4 signals (68 and 176.8) will not be acceptable for operation without the background signals being screened by a fence. These signals are associated with the NCIG Departure Roads. At the design position of 171.270km the signal is 275m from the first set of points (162PTS) it is protecting.

Due to site constraints, the project is uncertain as to whether or not a fence can be built in time to provide for the stage 3 commissioning, nor if it will provide the acceptable level of screening. A subsequent signal sighting was conducted onto investigate an alternative position for the signal. The signal sighting concluded by proposing a new position for signal 106.4 at 171.450km. This new position will be 455m from 162PTS. ARTC Standard SDS 01 states: "Preferably the first set of power worked points should be within 300 metres of the protecting signal and the last preferably within 750 metres."

An engineering waiver is required for the derogation to this standard.

NOTE: Signal 78 is the ID used in the Circuit Book and data design. Signal 106.4 is the ID used on the signal name plate and control system Phoenix Screens. In reports and documentation the two names may be used interchangeably.

2. Risk Statement

To assess the safety/operational risk associated with the positioning of signal 106.4(78) at 171.450km.

3. Risk Assessment Objectives

To determine the risks and any appropriate controls required with the placement of signal 106.4 in the proposed location considering it's distance being more than the preferred maximum. The risk assessment will support the engineering waiver submission for derogation against ARTC standard SDS 01.

4. Critical Success Factors of the activity/proposal being assessed

The positioning of Signal 106.4(78) is required for the NCIG 2F stage 3 commissioning 10-13 March to re-align the Up Kooragang and Down Kooragang Branches into their final alignments.

5. Scope (inclusions and exclusions)

Signal sighting for the new position has already been conducted by the signal sighting committee and therefore does not need to be risk assessed during this process.

The position of this signal at 171.450km will be on a permanent basis following the Stage 3 commissioning.

13. Other clarifying commentary

At present Aurecon Hatch are investigating and designing for the construction of a fence to screen the background signals. Due to track alignment, limited track centres and ground conditions, it may not be practical or possible to build a fence for the signal to be installed in it's design position (171.270km).

Consideration has also been given for a temporary solution (to operate for 5 weeks between stage 3 and stage 4 commissionings) of positioning the signal closer to the points and signals 64 and 66. The position would require right hand mounting of the signal to the rail and would result in signal 106.4(78) not 'crossing' in front of the other signals as the train approaches the signal on the curve after the flyover. This option has been considered unacceptable from a signal sighting perspective due to the signal.

The project is therefore proceeding in parallel with the waiver approval process to allow positioning of the signal at 171.450km in order to eliminate read-through issues.

Major Rare

Yes Due to the distance of the point machines from the EOL boxes, it is rare that an EOL operator will be able to walk to the closest point machine (162B point) before an train approaching train travelling at 15kph reaches the points.

The distance from the EOL box to 162B point machine is approximately 150m including the crossing of 2 tracks. Assuming a walking speed of 5kph, a slow moving train travelling at 15kph will be able to travel 450m in the same amount of time taken to walk to the machine. The sighting distance along the Up Kooragang branch from 162B point machine greater than 100m even with a train stopped at signal 68 obstructing the view of the Up Kooragang approach. It should be noted that normal line speed will be 45kph.

In this situation, signal 106.4(78) protects three sets of points:162PTS (trailing): 455m away from proposed location.160PTS (facing): 485m from proposed location.161PTS (trailing): 594m from proposed location.

Although the preferred distance of 300m for the first set of points is exceeded, the preferred distance of 750m for the last set of points is not exceeded. The standard has therefore deemed it reasonable to have driver's walking up to 750m to operate points in emergency situations.



Minor Unlikely LOW - 2D

Provision of walking route is dependent on the condition of the final walking route.

Provision of moving ahead procedures will require additional development time and costs which will not meet the Stage 3 project requirements. It will also have not a significant impact on the risk levels.

Train will proceed over trailing points locked in the wrong direction causing minor low speed derailment.

Leading to an Outcome

3 Safety

Increased risk of slips, trips and falls for driver walking to operate points.

Increased walking distance required by driver to signalling location and points when needing to operate the points under emergency working conditions.



Driver becomes incapacitated and is unable to re-enter the cab to operate train

The extended walking route to the proposed position of the signal (171.450km) is no more hazardous than the route to designed position of the signal (171.270km).

Not Significant

Possible LOW - 1C

Yes The full signal sighting considerations has been separately considered and reported by the signal sighting committee. Whilst it has been considered and was discussed during this risk assessment workshop, it has not been risk assessed exhaustively.

Screening of background signals should be investigated based on operational feedback.

When Signal 104.6(78) has a proceed aspect, all other visible signals will be at Danger.
