Circular Letter

(c-9366)

 

Subject: Revision to Field Manual Rule 41.E.24

TO THE MEMBERS AND PRIVATE CAR OWNERS                                                                                             File Number: Ac-2199

    At the last meeting of the Arbitration and Rules Committee, a request for interpretation to the subject Rule was requested.  The proponent was concerned that the new Rule, added to the Field Manual with the July 2001 Supplement was still ambiguous.  After due consideration the Committee acted to approve the addition of the word "all" to the Rule as shown below.

    Approved 41.E.24:  All stored wheelsets must be positioned to prevent contact with roller bearings and adjacent axles.

    The change will become effective on 1/1/02 and will be included in the 2002 Edition of the Field Manual.

Sincerely,

Thomas Stahura
