When you notice that the release form time for your train is 3 hours and 57 minutes old, what can you do?

Wait for further instructions
No, you cannot move
Yes, you can move
Notify the switch tender

The correct answer is: Yes, you can move

The correct response acknowledges that a release form time of 3 hours and 57 minutes indicates that you may proceed with the operation of your train. In the context of freight operations, a release form is essentially authorization that states the train is allowed to be moved and outlines any specific conditions or restrictions tied to that movement. In many rail operations, as long as certain conditions are met—such as there being no indications of unsafe conditions or further instructions that might prohibit movement—you are typically allowed to operate the train even when the release is nearing its time limit. Being close to the 4-hour mark could suggest the need for additional verification or checks, but does not inherently imply immediate cessation of movement. Therefore, if no other stipulations are in place and the train is considered safe to operate, you would have the authority to proceed as indicated in the correct answer.
