What must a crew do if they notice an error in an issued track warrant?

• A. Proceed cautiously and ignore the error.
• B. Contact the local police.
• C. Complete the next segment anyway and report later.
• D. Do not operate beyond the limits; report discrepancy to the dispatcher immediately and await a corrected warrant or cancellation.

Answer: (D)

If you notice an error in an issued track warrant, you must not operate beyond the current limits and you should report the discrepancy to the dispatcher immediately, then await a corrected warrant or cancellation. This keeps you within verified authorization and prevents conflicting movements or miscommunications on the tracks. Waiting for the dispatcher to issue a corrected warrant or cancel the current one ensures you only proceed when the authority is accurate. Ignoring the error, contacting police, or pushing ahead with the next segment without a valid warrant could create a dangerous situation on the railroad.
