2. NEW POINTS
a) No.107 single ended points
New No.107 single ended points will be provided at distance 99.807 and facing Down direction traffic.
These points are fitted with a Vossloh Cogifer point machine and are rated at a maximum speed of 80 km/h for a diverging movement.
The point machine is interlocked with the signalling system in order that when the Selector Lever is placed in to the ‘Hand’ operating position, the Signals protecting the points will be secured at the ‘Stop’ position.
b) No.113U & Double ended points
New No.113U &D points will be provided at distance 103.000 to form a connection between the East and West Line. The crossover is facing to Up direction traffic on the East Line and Down direction traffic on the West Line.
These points are fitted with Vossloh Cogifer point machines and are rated at a maximum speed of 80 km/h for a diverging movement.
The point machines are interlocked with the signalling system in order that when the Selector Levers are placed in to the ‘Hand’ operating position, the Signals protecting the points will be secured at the ‘Stop’ position.
c) New No.115 Motorised Siding Points
No.115 motorised siding points provide access to the stabling siding extending from the East Line Loop road at distance 101.800. The points and siding will be commissioned into use at a date to be advised.
d) Manual Operation of Vossloh Cogifer Points
Vossloh Cogifer point machines are provided with a hand throw lever to allow the points to be operated manually to either normal or reverse when necessary.
To manually operate the points:-
- Unlock the V5PSW padlock on the Selector Switch.
- Pull out the locking pin from the selector switch.
- Move the Selector switch to the hand position.
- Unlock and remove the lock from the hand throw lever.
- Remove the locking pins from both sides of the hand throw lever.
- Move the hand throw lever to operate the points to the required position.
- Make sure the switch blade is hard up against the stock rail, and
- Secure the points with the two point clips provided in the cabinet at the points.
To restore the points from ‘HAND’ to ‘MOTOR’:
- Undo and remove the V5PSW lock from the selector switch and manual operating handle where applicable.
- Move the selector switch from ‘HAND’ to ‘MOTOR’.
- Ask the Train Controller to test the points and confirm they are operating correctly.
- Reapply the V5PSW lock to the lever catch and the selector switch in the appropriate position.
The signals maintenance representative must be promptly advised of the circumstances.
Note: - Depending on the position of the points, the hand throw lever may need to be switched to the opposite side to engage the clutch to operate the points manually.
Point clips will be provided in steel boxes locked with a V5PSW padlock adjacent to each point machine.
e) Point Clip Cabinets
Point Clip cabinets will be provided at the Up and Down ends of the Seymour Loop. The doors of the cabinets will be secured closed with V5PSW padlocks.
3. NEW SIGNAGE
a) East/West Line Signage
New East Line/West Line Advisory Signs will be installed on the immediate Down side of new No.107 points.
The signs are White in colour with Black lettering and Worded ‘East Line’ or ‘West Line’ as applicable.
b) ‘Limit of Shunt’ Signage
A ‘Limit of Shunt’ Board will be installed at the Up end of No.1 Platform facing Up direction movements.
Rail traffic movements exiting the standard gauge connection to the Seymour Locomotive Depot must not proceed beyond the ‘Limit of Shunt’ board.
Note: All rail traffic movements exiting the Seymour Locomotive Depot to proceed towards Melbourne, must first proceed to Seymour Loop. From this point, the movement must then be signalled towards Melbourne in the usual manner.
4. FAILURE OF SIGNALS
A failure of the Signals listed below must be dealt with in accordance with the relevant rules as listed. All Rule references relate to Section 17 of the ARTC Network Rules and Procedures - TA20 as amended (Centralised Traffic Control System).
Signal Number : Type of Authority :
--------------- -------------------
SEY102 Rule 7c Verbal Instructions
SEY104 Rule 7a Arrival Message
SEY126 Rule 7b CTC Caution Order Form TR13C/2364
SEY106 Rule 7b CTC Caution Order Form TR13C/2364
SEY112 Rule 7b CTC Caution Order Form TR13C/2364
SEY132 To East Line: Rule 7b CTC Caution Order Form TR13C/2364
To West Line: Signaller’s Caution Order Form 2377
SEY134 Rule 7a Arrival Message
SEY114 Rule 7a Arrival Message
5. DOWN HOME DEPARTURE SIGNAL SEY132
Until the signalling system is commissioned on the West Line between Seymour and Benalla, the following restrictions must be applied by the ARTC Network Controller, Junee in order to prevent a rail traffic movement being inadvertently signalled towards the West Line.
* A blocking command must be applied to Track No.EES1055T, and
* A blocking command must be applied to Track No.EES1056T.
The blocking commands must not be removed unless it is necessary for a rail traffic movement associated with the West Line area of Absolute Occupation to be signalled on to the corridor.
In this instance, the Sectional Co-ordinator appointed for Section 1 (Seymour to Violet Town) must accompany the movement from Signal SEY132.
6. PUSH BUTTONS FOR HOME DEPARTURE SIGNALS
a) Emergency operation owing to control system failure
In the event of a control system failure, and provided the correct interlocking and track occupancy conditions exist, the points and signals will assume automatic operation.
As a Melbourne bound train approaches signal SEY114, and provided the track ahead is clear, Points 113 will assume the Normal position and signal SEY114 will automatically clear for the movement to proceed onto the East Line.
As a Sydney bound train approaches Signal SEY102, Points 107 will assume the reverse position and Points 113 will assume the Normal position. Signal SEY102 and will then assume a proceed indication. Signal SEY104 will also clear for the movement to proceed to the West Line.
The signals will not clear for the arriving movement if there are conflicting movements already on the nominated track.
b) Push Button Controls for Signals
Push button controls are located at signal SEY132 at the Sydney end of Seymour Crossing Loop and signals SEY106 and SEY126 at the Melbourne end of Seymour Crossing Loop and allow the control of the signals in the event of control system failure.
The push buttons are applicable to the relevant signals at that location and are provided with ‘Clear’ and ‘Cancel’ push buttons.
When instructed by the Network Operations Controller, the Driver must push the applicable push button for the signal applicable to that which the train is standing at. Provided the correct interlocking conditions exist, the points will set to the required position and the signal selected will assume a proceed aspect for the train to depart.
c) Seymour Crossing Loop: Operation of Home Departure Signals SEY106, SEY126 & SEY132 during Failure Conditions
Push button controls housed in a cabinet are provided adjacent to the Signals to allow operation of the signals (and points where applicable) by train crews during failure conditions. The push buttons are provided with two controls for each signal:
The signalling system is provided with a facility that allows it to be locally operated by the train crew or automatically dependant on the infrastructure constraints of the area.
The push buttons have two controls for each signal:
Clear: Provided the correct conditions exist, sets the points for the required route and places a call on the signal.
Cancel: Cancels the command, a time release will operate on the signal prior to the route becoming free.
