Which term refers to a notice issued to employees by the General Superintendent-Transportation that may contain operating instructions or other information as necessary?

• A. General Notice
• B. General Order
• C. Schedule
• D. Temporary Speed Restriction Bulletin (TSRB)

Answer: (A)

General notices are the standard way a railroad communicates information to the workforce, and they often include operating instructions or other details employees need to know. Issued by the General Superintendent-Transportation, these notices spread practical guidance or updates without enforcing a formal rule. A general order, by contrast, is a formal directive with mandatory rules; a schedule is simply the train timetable; a TSRB communicates a specific, temporary speed restriction. So when the item is a notice to employees that may contain operating instructions or other information, the best term is General Notice.
