MEMO. RE CONCORDANCE OF THE RAILWAY ACT,
CHAP. 37.

An amendment having been made by the Board of Railway Commissioners in their Rules and Regulations, subsequent to the adoption of the same in December last, and also an addition in respect of Interlocking at Drawbridges, the following paragraph (No. 3) should be cut off and pasted over the corresponding one at the foot of page 151, and the Requirements for interlocking at drawbridges inserted at page 156, after the Rules relating to "Interlocking System."

No. 3-TO ALTER LOCATION OF CURVES OR GRADES OF LINE PREVIOUS-
LY SANCTIONED OR COMPLETED.-Section 167.

Send to the Secretary of the Board three sets of plans, profiles and
books of reference as required in No. 2.

(N.B. The plans and profiles so submitted will be required to show
the original location, grades and curves and railway highway and
farm crossings, and the changes desired or necessitated in any of
these.)
Scale Same as No. 2.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERLOCKING AT

DRAWBRIDGES.

INTERLOCKING, signalling and derailing systems to be used at drawbridges must be arranged to conform to the following general rules:

1. The normal position of all signals must indicate danger, derail points open, and the interlocking so arranged that it will be impossible for the operator to open the draw until signals and derails are set against the approaching train movement.

2. Where the grade is practically level the derailing points shall be located not less than 500 feet from the ends of the bridge, but in case of a descending grade towards the bridge, the derailing point. must be located at such distance from the bridge as to give the same measure of protection that is required for a level approach.

On single track railways, derail points, when practicable, should be on the inside of curve, and on double track railways, the derail points should be in outside rails of both tracks.

5.

4. On double track railways back-up derails will be necessary. Home signal posts must, when practicable, be located on the engine-man's side of the track they govern, and should be not less than fifty (50) feet nor more than two hundred (200) feet in advance of the point they govern, the distant signals should be located not less than twelve hundred (1,200) feet in advance of the home signal, with which it operates and on the same side of the track. The distance signal should be distinguished by a notch cut in the end of the semaphore arm.

6. The arms and back lights of all signals should be visible to the signalman in the tower. If from any cause, the arm or light of any signal cannot be placed so as to be seen by the signalman, a repeater or indicator should be provided in the tower.

7. Guard rails should be laid on outside of rail in which the derail is placed and, commencing at least 6 feet in advance of derail, should extend thence towards the end of the bridge, parallel with and 9 inches from track rail, for not less than 400 feet.

8. Application for inspection must be made same as for railway crossings.

By order of the Board,

A. D. CARTWRIGHT,
