14. THE CONDITION OF THE REMOTE CONTROLLED LOCOMOTIVE.   It is 

recommended that a written report be sent to your supervisor whenever you detect any 
condition that makes the locomotive unsafe.  Many plants supply printed forms for this 
purpose.  The radio control locomotive operator should fill out these forms and turn them in at 
the end of each shift.  Certain faults which the radio control locomotive operator may detect 
will be so critical that the locomotive must be shut down at once and not operated until the fault 
is corrected.  Typical check list items may include some or all of the following: 

• 

Condition of engine, brakes, and auxiliary functions (i.e., headlight, horn). 

• 

Fresh oil or fluid leaks on the track bed below where the locomotive is standing. 

• 

Broken, cracked or chipped rails. 

• 

Condition of controls (electrical or mechanical defects that may lead to faulty 
operation). 

• 

Frequent overload relay tripping of power circuits. 

• 

Mechanical parts loosened by vibration (loose rivets, covers, etc.). 

• 

Wheel condition (flange wear, cracks, holes, or visible signs of bearing damage). 

• 

Insufficient main reservoir air pressure or a bad compressor. 

• 

Condition of hoses and couplings. 

• 

Burned out, broken, or inoperable warning or signal lights. 

• 

Unintended stopping or starting of any locomotive motion, warning device, light or 
auxiliary function.
