2.3.11 Circulars

 Prototype Information.

Railroad operations are all about communications. Before beginning each day's work or trip, trainmen, enginemen, and any others whose duties require, must review all general orders, bulletin orders, railroad circulars, instructions, notices, and other information issued and canceled by the designated manager that apply to the territory they will work on.

Circulars.

Periodically, the Association of American Railroads (AAR), in consultation with industry experts, issues guidance on a wide range of topics related to rail transportation. This guidance is published in OT circulars. 

Class 1 railroads that the WWSL interchanges with also publish circulars. Those circulars that impact WWSL operations and/or administration would be listed.

The WWSL

WWSL corporate headquarters also issues circulars and those circulars are posted on crew bulletin boards.The circular section consists of a circular header and a separate page or pages of the most recent circular.. 

Here is a copy of the Circular Header. It is formatted to fit an 81/2 by 11 sheet.
