What term is a point designated by yard limits signs which separates the mainline from the yard when exiting at the CROF and NWROF facilities?

• A. Yard Limits
• B. Yard Lead
• C. Normal Switch Position
• D. Trailing Point Switch

Answer: (A)

The boundary between the mainline and the yard is marked by yard limits signs, and the point designated by those signs is where yard operations begin as you exit at CROF and NWROF facilities. This term identifies the transition from mainline rules to yard procedures, signaling you’ve entered the yard area and must follow yard-specific authority, speed, and communication requirements. It isn’t the yard lead (which is the track leading into the yard), nor a switch position or a trailing point switch, which describe equipment or moving directions rather than the boundary itself.
