General Appendix 1960
GRAVITATION SHUNTING.
Shunters, Guards, and all concerned must exercise care in shunting at gravitation sidings to prevent injury, damage or loss.
In shunting special loads, wagons labelled with "Brittle Goods", "Fragile", or "Shunt with Care" labels, also special vehicles, a man must, when necessary, accompany the vehicles throughout, controlling their movement into the sidings to avoid them coming into sharp contact with the stop blocks or vehicles already in the sidings.
Referring to Rule 110(b), live stock must not be shunted at gravitation sidings if it is possible to avoid it. In all cases where it is necessary to shunt live stock traffic at gravitation sidings, it should be attached to an engine, otherwise a man must accompany the vehicles, which must be worked at a walking pace, from the summit until brought to a stand in the sidings. Care must also be taken to avoid subsequent shunts from colliding sharply with the special loads.
