When verbally issuing a track warrant, read each word of the lines chosen, including pre printed words, but may exclude the ______ and ________.

• A. date and at location
• B. time and speed
• C. destination and origin
• D. format and company

Answer: (A)

When issuing a track warrant verbally, you must convey the exact words of the lines you’re using, including any pre-printed text, so the crew receives a clear and unambiguous instruction. The parts that truly govern movement are the authority, the track and limits, and any operational conditions like speed. The date and the phrase introducing a location (“at” something) are administrative details that don’t change the movement instruction itself. The date is a record-keeping field, and the location cue can be redundant once the specific limits are stated. Because of that, you may omit those two elements while still delivering the essential authorization accurately. Focus on the operative pieces—the track or milepost limits, the authority, and any speed or time conditions—and ensure the crew repeats or confirms them to verify understanding.
