Which statement about Yard Limits is true?

Which statement about Yard Limits is true?

• A. Yard Limits include mainline signalized territory.
• B. Yard Limits are defined as all yard and shop tracks outside of signalized territory.
• C. Yard Limits apply to passenger platforms only.
• D. Yard Limits are defined as all tracks inside the signalized territory.

Answer: (B)

Yard Limits define the area used for yard and shop movements, separate from the mainline signaling. They cover yard and shop tracks that are outside signalized territory, allowing trains to move with local controls and lower speeds in a yard environment. This makes the statement true: Yard Limits consist of the yard and shop tracks outside the signalized territory, not the mainline. The mainline signalized territory is where trains follow the main signals; passenger platforms are not the exclusive focus of yard operations; and tracks inside signalized territory are not considered Yard Limits.
