Loads

1. Small particle loads, such as coal, are to be loaded only in cars designed for that purpose. Care should be taken the cars are not overloaded.

2. Containers and flat car loads, are to be secured in such a way as to insure their staying on the car in normal operation.

3. All loads loose or fixed, are to meet NMRA clearance requirements.

4. Log cars (skeleton, disconnect and open types) with unsecured loads are prohibited from operating on the mainlines in interchange service. High rack log cars meeting weight requirements may interchange with and operate on the mainline.
