MTOD Run Time Considerations In Addition to the Sub Run
MacTier North Bound Run Long
Times are from arrival at MacTier to arrival

not to be feasible to stage a southbound that requires Blue
Lake road to be cut(length exceeding 5600”) due to the
likelihood of failure on the Mactier sub.

Notes:
1. Should
trains be required to operate through the yard an additional
15 minutes will need to be included.
2.
Familiarization will be required for crews at Mactier.
3. Please pay consideration when Run Long is contemplated
for use on trains 434 and 435, as this additional time on
their long trips may cause failure to meet 10 hour in/off
commitment.
4. There is no Road Access to Brginall.
Northward train at Bala will require power to be taken to
southend.
Please note:
This is a
guideline of running times only. Various conditions,
including winter operations, may require additional time to
enable these run long opportunities to be successful.
