Which document must be properly initialed when reporting clear of track warrant limits in non-signaled territory?

• A. The conductor report form
• B. The dispatcher log
• C. The maintenance report
• D. The crew’s job briefing sheet.

Answer: (A)

In non-signaled territory, when you report that you’re clear of track warrant limits, the conductor must properly initial the conductor report form. This form serves as the official record that the crew has acknowledged completion of the authority and has cleared the limits. The initial confirms the dispatcher’s record of clearance and helps maintain a traceable handoff of authority.

Other documents don’t serve this purpose. The dispatcher log is kept by the dispatcher and isn’t initialed by the crew to certify clearance. The maintenance report is for noting track or equipment issues, not for recording clearance of warrants. The crew’s job briefing sheet is used for pre-job safety and planning, not for signaling clearance after moving.
