4 5. Block Location Management Access to the Main Line and Crossing Loop at Block Locations shall be managed in accordance with the procedures set out in the Code of Practice (DIR) for the crossing of trains on Train Order Territory, clause 3.9, and the ASR Addendum to the Code of Practice (DIR) clause 3. (a) (b) Access to yard tracks other than the Main Line and Crossing Loop, at the block locations shall be managed in accordance with Yard Access Authority arrangements as set out in the ASR Addendum to the Code of Practice (DIR) Clause 7. Access to Terminal Locations at Alice Springs and Darwin (Berrimah) shall be managed in accordance with the procedures established by the Terminal Manager, for each particular Terminal. 6 OPERATIO OF POITS Motorised self-restoring Main Line to Crossing Loop points are provided at Carnes, Wirrida, Manguri, Illoquara, Tennant Creek, ewcastle Waters, and Katherine. The operation of these points is carried out by push buttons at Carnes, Wirrida, and Manguri. At Illoquara, Tennant Creek, ewcastle Waters and Katherine, this can be achieved either by push button or radio remote control. All of these points are provided with Colour Light Points Indicators, as described below. 6. Colour Light Points Indicators GREE COLOUR LIGHT POITS IDICATOR Meaning: Facing and trailing points are correctly set and locked for the Main Line YELLOW COLOUR LIGHT POITS IDICATOR Meaning: Facing points are correctly set and locked for the Main Line. Trailing points are not set and locked for the Main Line. FLASHIG YELLOW COLOUR LIGHT POITS IDICATOR Meaning: Facing points are correctly set and locked for the Crossing Loop (FLASHIG) RED COLOUR LIGHT POITS IDICATOR Meaning: Facing points are not correctly set or locked or may be out of adjustment. Trailing points may not be set or locked or may be out of adjustment. Page 4 Issue Date Issue o

5 6.2 Push Button Points Operation In order to operate points to either position, using a push button enclosure: (a) Stop the train short of the track circuited area either side of the points (Illoquara, Tennant Creek, ewcastle Waters and Katherine) or short of the proximity switches (Carnes, Wirrida, and Manguri). A white painted sleeper, or Clearance Point indicator indicates the extent of the track-circuited area at Illoquara, Tennant Creek, ewcastle Waters and Katherine. (b) (c) Open the push button enclosure door. This action will cause the Colour Light Points Indicator to display a red indication. At Illoquara, Tennant Creek, ewcastle Waters and Katherine: (i) Observe the LED labelled TRACK OCCUPIED. If the red LED is not illuminated, the points may be operated. (ii) Leaving the enclosure door open, wait for completion of a 20 second run down period. (iii) Observe the LED labelled POITS RELEASED. When, the 20 second run down is complete this will display a green indication. A green POITS RELEASED display indicates that the points may be operated. (iv) (v) Depress either the ORMAL or REVERSE push button to operate the points to the required position. Close and lock the push button enclosure door. ote : If the push button enclosure door is closed during the run down period, the time is reset to zero, re-initiating a 20 run down period. (d) At Carnes, Wirrida, and Manguri: (i) Observe the condition of the service light. If it is illuminated, advise Transport Control. (ii) (iii) (iv) Depress either the ORMAL or REVERSE push button to operate the points to the required position. Leaving the enclosure door open, wait for completion of points motor operation. Close and lock the push button enclosure door. (e) At any of these locations: (i) Inspect the points to ensure that they have been correctly set for the desired route. (ii) Observe the correct setting of the Colour Light Points Indicator, and points target indicator where provided, and proceed accordingly. Issue o Issue Date Page 5

6 6.3 Radio Remote Control Points Operation In order to operate points to the reverse position, using radio remote control at Illoquara, Tennant Creek, ewcastle Waters and Katherine: (a) Ensure by use of the local radio that any rail traffic approaching the vicinity of the points, is aware of their impending operation. (b) At a distance of 2500 metres or less, from the points, select UHF mhz and enter the four digit DTMF points operating code. This action will initiate a 50 second run down period, during which the colour light points indicator will display a red indication. ote: The DTMF code is transmitted via the use of a keypad, or other radio interface. The digit keys should be depressed for at least one second, with a pause of at least one second between entering of digits. All digits must be entered within eight seconds. If the Colour Light Points Indicator does not display a red indication (indicating a response to the radio transmission) following the transmission of the DTMF code, a second attempt may be made but only after waiting for 30 seconds. (c) (d) (e) Approach the points at a speed at which the movement can be stopped short of the points. Observe the indication displayed by the Colour Light Points Indicator. Proceed in accordance with the indication displayed by the Colour Light Points Indicator. ote: Should the push button enclosure door be opened following the transmission of a DTMF code, any command that has been received by the system will be cancelled, and a new run down period will commence. Each of the above actions may also be performed from the Clearance Point within the loop for trains departing Block Locations. 6.4 Failure of Points or Colour Light Points Indicator In the event that the Colour Light Points Indicator continues to display a red or no indication following a radio DTMF transmission, or push button operation, the train crew shall: (a) (b) (c) Stop or remain in clear of the track-circuited area associated with the points. Advise Transport Control of the circumstances. Inspect the points to ensure that no debris is preventing the required movement of the points blades. If any material found to be preventing operation of the points, safely remove this debris. ote: Do not attempt to clear any debris from between points blades by hand. Make use of a stick or wire if necessary. Page 6 Issue Date Issue o

7 (d) (e) (f) Set the points to Hand Mode of operation and manually operate the points. Return the points to Motor Mode of operation. If the points are confirmed as set and locked, and the Colour Light Points Indicator displays the correct indication, the train crew shall: (i) Proceed in accordance with the indication and Train Authority held. (ii) Advise Transport Control of the circumstances and action taken. (g) If the points are confirmed as set and locked, and the Colour Light Points Indicator displays an incorrect or no indication, the train crew shall: (i) Observe the indication of the reflective points indicator. (ii) Advise Transport Control of the circumstances and action taken. (h) If the points are confirmed as set and locked, and the Colour Light Points Indicator fails to display the correct indication, the train crew shall: (i) Advise Transport Control of the circumstances. (ii) (iii) Observe the indication of the reflective points indicator. Proceed as authorised by the Train Authority currently in effect. (i) If the points cannot be set and locked in the Motor Mode of operation the train crew shall: (i) Advise Transport Control of the circumstances and obtain instructions. (ii) (iii) (iv) Place the points into the Hand Mode of operation, and set to the position directed by the ARG Transport Controller. Clamp the points for the setting directed. Proceed as authorised.
