The dispatcher must inform the employee of all information affecting the movement of his train. What must the receiving employee do?

• A. Sign a receipt
• B. Memorize it
• C. Record this information
• D. Ignore it

Answer: (C)

Recording all information affecting movement is the required practice. When the dispatcher provides details that could change how your train operates—such as speed restrictions, authority to proceed, or track conditions—you must create a written record of that information. This written record gives you a reliable reference to prevent miscommunication and to verify compliance, especially if questions or conflicts later arise. Memorizing details isn’t dependable, and signing a receipt or ignoring the instruction isn’t what NORAC expects for movement information. So the correct action is to record what was communicated.
