How are track warrants stored or logged for audit purposes?

• A. In a train's log.
• B. In the station bulletin book.
• C. In a train's log or the dispatcher's track-warrant records; both parties keep a written or electronic record of issued warrants and acknowledgments.
• D. On a whiteboard only.

Answer: (C)

Track warrants need a verifiable, auditable trail that can be checked later. The best practice is for both sides to keep records: the train crew maintains a log of warrants issued to them and their acknowledgments, and the dispatcher maintains the central track-warrant records showing all warrants issued and to whom. Whether these records are written or electronic, having both sources provides cross-checking and accountability, which is essential for audits. Relying on a single source like a whiteboard, or just the train’s log or just the bulletin book, wouldn’t give a complete, verifiable record of warrants and acknowledgments.
