What documents must Assistant Conductors carry?

• A. The entire NORAC library
• B. TRO-1 thru TRO-5, GO, TRO-12 Sections 1-7, and PTEP
• C. Only TRO-1 thru TRO-5
• D. None of the above

Answer: (B)

You’re being tested on which documents a crew member must carry on duty under NORAC. The required set includes the core rulebooks and orders you need to reference while operating: TRO-1 through TRO-5, General Orders (GO), TRO-12 Sections 1-7, and PTEP. These materials contain the current operating rules, authority, and emergency or special procedures you must be able to consult during a trip. Keeping this exact collection on hand ensures you have the essential references without carrying the entire NORAC library, which is unnecessary and impractical. Carrying only TRO-1 through TRO-5 would miss important General Orders, TRO-12 specifics, and PTEP, so it wouldn’t meet the on-duty requirements. In short, that particular set is the precisely approved bundle of documents you’re expected to have accessible.
