What is the governing rule for protecting trains?

The governing rule for protecting trains is Rule 400, which is specifically designed to ensure the safety of train operations by providing clear guidelines and protocols in situations where trains may be at risk. This rule encompasses various safety measures, including the use of warning signals, communication procedures, and the establishment of safe zones, all aimed at preventing accidents and ensuring the safe movement of trains through potentially hazardous conditions. Understanding Rule 400 is essential for personnel involved in railway operations, as it lays the foundation for effective risk management and operational safety practices.

The other rules mentioned may pertain to different aspects of safeworking practices, but they do not address the specific requirements and protocols needed for the protection of trains in the same comprehensive manner as Rule 400 does.
