The basic idea behind yard limits is that movements therein do not have to be
by train order. The crew is alerted to all scheduled main line traffic before
going on shift, and it is crew responsibility to keep a lookout and avoid other
traffic (either inside the yard or on the main). With those caveats, the crew
goes where they need to when they need to,on their own decision and
responsibility.
Local yards could have specific rules in addition to the general given above -
maybe you can find some old paperwork or locate an old Keokuk yard hand who
could give you specific (if any).
