1. The Breaksman or Breaksmen, as the case may be, must be in
attendance =60= minutes before the hour fixed in the Time Bill for
the departure of the Trains.
2. They are carefully to examine the loading and sheeting of the

3. They are to be careful to ascertain that the axles of the waggons
are properly =greased= before starting from a Station.
4. The Head Breaksman, where there are two, is responsible for seeing
that the =Signal Lamps= are attached to the Train, and that on

have these Lamps lighted at Sunset and during a Fog.
5. The Breaksman is to enter on his Way Bill any =delays= or
=casualties=, and report the same on arrival to the proper officer.
When any waggons are left on the road that should have been taken
forward, the Breaksman must instantly on arrival give notice of the
same.
6. The Breaksman is to receive and enter on his Way Bill such
despatch-bags, parcels, invoices, and letters, as may be delivered to
him, and must be very particular to deliver correctly any parcels of
