A decision on the rail signal handoff should be judged at the rail switch at Blackglass Junction, where the rule changes an ordinary route, shift or service. Keep contract terms, meter readings and worker testimony beside one another. The current file is the Year first, cooling weeks window 1 review, not a permanent settlement of every future case.
The switch checks, arrival cards and the outgoing crew’s handoff note lists 34 departures with a signed signal check before the next crew arrives; the previous window lists 35. Vek Cinder checked both against meter readings checked against a dated shift and operating condition. The difference matters because how the next operator verifies a signal check made by a temporary relief worker.
The rail board accepts both marks. Carriers want the name and time attached to each one. Those objections deserve a clear answer. They are not a reason to keep an uncheckable rule simply because its wording is familiar.
A useful decision names who will do the work, which count will change and when the result comes back to the public table. In this case, a relief worker uses a different mark from the full-time switch crew.
The Year first, cooling weeks window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The junction will test a shared handoff card with a named operator field.
