In 251 Territory, after entering a block on a Restricting Signal, how should you proceed after stopping?

When operating in 251 Territory and entering a block on a Restricting Signal, the appropriate action after stopping is to proceed at Restricted Speed until the next signal. This procedure is essential to ensure safety and compliance with operating rules.

Restricted Speed allows the train to operate at a safe speed while being prepared to stop for any potential obstructions or issues that may lie ahead. It is particularly important in a scenario involving a Restricting Signal, which typically indicates that the train must be cautious about the conditions of the track and any possible dangers present.

In this context, proceeding at Restricted Speed provides the necessary caution to navigate safely, particularly in areas where visibility may be limited or where there might be other trains or maintenance work in progress. The goal is always to maintain safety first, allowing the train operator to have the best chance to react swiftly to any unforeseen circumstances.
