When moving from the yard to the main track with the rear of your train still in the yard, what is your maximum speed?

5 MPH
10 MPH
15 MPH
20 MPH

The correct answer is: 10 MPH

When moving from the yard to the main track with the rear of the train still in the yard, the maximum speed is typically limited to 10 MPH. This speed restriction is in place to ensure the safety of both the train crew and any personnel or equipment that may be in or around the yard. The lower speed allows for better control of the train and provides adequate time to react to any unexpected situations that may arise as the train transitions from the yard to the main track. It also helps to minimize the risk of accidents or incidents in a crowded and potentially hazardous environment like a rail yard. Adhering to this maximum speed limit is a critical aspect of safe train operations, reflecting the importance of caution during the transition phase.
