MRChiCity Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Good evening, Been listing to CTA rail channels and I have wondered what on sight operations are? Rail control puts out this announcement every time work is being done on the tracks a major event is letting out at Wrigley, what is on sight operations? Thanks.

As far as I know, it means they aren't using the cab signals in the motorman's cab. The motorman just uses his/her eyes to slow down or stop as necessary.

Do you have a radio or use a website? My old website feed was trashed a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterb Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Signals or not, the operator must be alert for unusual activity on or near the right of way. This could be a drunk person staggering near the edge of the platform, workers and flagmen and being aware of cars trying to go around crossing gates, and other thing.
