Re: Questions about double heading procedure and variations

9-E C-25 class engines must not be double headed with K-27 or K-28 class engines, nor must K-27 or K-28 class engines be double-headed over bridges on Sub-Division 12-B. Engines of the classes listed must not be operated over bridge 471.23 near Rockwood, unless separated by at least one hundred feet and this separation should consist of lightly loaded equipment. It is not permissible to operate two of these engines over this bridge with only a flanger between them.

9-F. When second engine is used on trains of over 35 cars on Sub-Division 11 between Antonito and Cumbres, second engine must be cut into train.

9-I. Double-heading between Salida and Marshall Pass is prohibited. Place one engine on head end, cut one engine into train about twenty-five cars from head engine and place one engine on the rear end, ahead of caboose. In operating three engine trains out of Sargent and Chama eastbound, use two engines on head end of train, and one engine on rear end, the rear engine either just ahead of caboose, or drover's car when latter is used. Engines will not be double-headed over bridges between Gunnison and Sapinero--must be at least five cars between engines on these bridges. On two engine trains out of Gunnison and Villa Grove, eastbound, place them on head end of train.

456 running as mid-train helper to 474 at Almont.
