Under what condition must a restriction be included on the train dispatcher's transfer?

• A. If the train or engine has not passed the restriction
• B. If the restriction is past
• C. On every transfer, regardless
• D. Only when moving under box 11

Answer: (A)

Restrictions are safety limits tied to a movement. When you transfer authority, you must pass along any active restriction that the train or engine has not yet passed. This ensures the receiving party is aware of and can enforce the limit for the remaining distance. If the restriction has already been passed, it no longer affects the movement, so it doesn’t need to be included on the transfer. The other possibilities don’t fit because they either require including things that are already past, or apply universally regardless of whether they still constrain the movement, or reference an unrelated box.
