I have a personal story where riding the lead car came within a few feet of getting me killed

It also prescribes several different safety measures such as being sure that switches are lined and that conditions are such that cars can be safely moved...I went down and checked my copy of the rule book which I think is 1951 however...in the older books rule 908 deals with something else...I don't want to enter into a discussion of the details since I only made reference to 908 "in passing"

I do, however, have a personal really and truly true story  that "riding the head car" saved me from being cleared of any fault in a somewhat minor,but significant because of the "side effects" derailment.

Rule 908 does not say that someone must ride the head car, but it does say that someone has to be in a position to pass signals to the engine crew.

Thanks John..I'm going to record for posterity your comment that I was right...Don't get that too often...also thanks for your confirmation re rule 907...I think Rule 908 was the one which stated that when you were shoving cars there had to be a man riding the head car???   Is that right..I've got a rule book, but It's downstairs and I don't have a trip down there scheduled right now.

You're right. When I answered, I wrote the first thing that popped into my head. I forgot about the old station signs. I guess it was a senior moment! And it was rule 907.

You are correct Leo...John didn't tell the whole story.

As I can't seem to locate either my rule book or Q standard sign book at the moment;I'm going strictly from memory. But my old memory says:

an S inside a diamond was the station notice board 1 mile out.

An S inside a circle was a spring switch.

Hi all,

 

Received a question and attached image to identify what this sign was for on the BRHS Facebook page this evening. 

 

" I recently helped my mother move a sign that was located on an old CBQ route just East of Brashear, Missouri. The sign was on a tall cement post with a diamond shaped sign with the letter S painted in black. We are trying to find out what the S stands for. The track runs east/west so not sure if it stood for south. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,"
