What should be done if an employee wants to modify the time limit of track and time?

If an employee wishes to modify the time limit of track and time, the appropriate action is to communicate with the control operator before the time expires. This process ensures that any changes to the track and time limits are officially acknowledged and documented through the proper channels. It maintains safety and organizational protocols, as the control operator is responsible for managing the safe movement of trains within the specified track limits.

This approach allows for proper coordination and ensures that all parties involved are informed and able to adjust their actions accordingly. Effective communication helps prevent any potential safety risks or misunderstandings that might arise if changes are made without approval or awareness from the control center. Engaging the control operator demonstrates adherence to protocol, ensuring all actions align with railway policy regarding track and time management.
