<<Yard Limits are shown as from Pascack Jct. (M.P. 7.6 on the Bergen County Line) to M.P. 14.1 (Fairmount Av., Hackensack). Does this apply to the main track? Yes>> Rule 93, "Movement of Trains within Yard Limits," only applies on the main track(s). “Within yard limits, the main track may be used . . “ Rule 93 in itself is the authority for a train or engine to occupy the main track, subject to other restrictions in the rules and special instructions, such as “ . . . clearing or protecting against First Class Trains.” <<Fairmont [sic] Av. is shown as a station. Since passenger service at this station ceased several years before 1986, and since there are no sidings anywhere near Fairmount Av., is there some reason why it was retained as a station? As a location for Yard Limits. :) >> And as a “place designated by name in the timetable.” Train orders can be issued reading “Engine ??? run extra Spring Valley to Fairmount Ave ” for example. Movement east of Fairmount Ave would be conducted under Yard Limit Rules. ------------------------------
