The movement of a train not equipped with cab signal apparatus is prohibited, except when authorized by the Timetable. Movements authorized by the Timetable will be governed by fixed signal indication. Such movements must be made at Restricted Speed, unless the Dispatcher authorizes Rule 556.
Explanation:
Cab Signal System (CSS) rules apply only where placed in effect, by either the Timetable or the Bulletin Order. If a train is not equipped with Cab Signal apparatus, the train may not be operated in Cab Signal territory. NJ Transit has no Timetable Exceptions (the one exception NJ Transit allowed (NC 550) was recently removed from GO 101 by the Newark Division Summary BO).
