TWC work betweens
Under TWC normally there's not such thing as an extra or work extra. There's no class, superiority by class or superiority by direction. There's just trains and the DS with the DS being able to tell the crews 'where to go'.
A 'proceed to' warrant give a train the authority to proceed from a point to a point using main tracks. With such a warrant a train may not back up. A back up move is defined as moving the rear of the train against the direction of travel authorized by the warrant for that train (this applied only on the main track).
A warrant is only needed to occupy the main track. So a train that received a warant with the 'clear main track at last named point' box checked has to clear up when it gets to the final named point on the warrant. Let's use Mr. Fugate's layout as an example. The DS issues a warrant to a train in Roseberg (inside yard limits). Checkbox 1. Proceed from Rosebert to Rice Hill
Checkbox 7 (I think 7 on Joe's warrants) - clear main track at last named point.
Once the warrant is made ok the train can now travel the mainline from Roseberg to Rice Hill. At Rice Hill they must get into the siding.
Another example, this time on my Bear Creek and South Jackson railroad. The DS gives the Oakhill Turn a warrant to proceed from Mill Bend to Oakhill, clear main track at last named point. There is a wye at Oakhill off of the siding. Once clear of the main in Oakhill the 'turn' can switch away to theirs hearts delight as long as they stay off of the main track (a skilled crew can usually manage to do just that). The 'turn' only needs another warrant when their switching is done and they're ready to head back down the hill to Mill Bend.
Another example, a local train needs to switch out some cars on a trailing point spur. There is no siding or run around in that town, only the spur track. Does the local need a work-between warrant to switch that spur?
Nope. The local pulls part way up to the spur then cuts off the rear of their train leaving in on the main. They pull foward then back onto the spur to grab the mts there pulling forward again than backing the picked up mts onto the rear end of their train. Then foward and back onto the spur to spot the loaded setouts, then back to their train, pump up the air, brake test and off they go. Assuming they were smart enough to leave the rear end of their train back far enough for the cut of pickups to fit between the turnout fouling point and the rear part of the train the caboose didn't move backward so the warrant was not violated even though it didn't explicitly say the local could do the switching. It didn't need to in this case (but woe to the DS who sends another train down the tracks after the local figuring the local would be out of the way by the time they got there! Ouch...)
A work between is used when the train it is issued to will need to be going every which way but loose between the two named work between points. For example the Rice Hill Rocket on Joe Fugate's layout gets a warrant
Checkbox 8 (not sure about that number again!) work between Roseberg and Rice Hill.
Since this train leaves from Roseberg, that's it. No other warrants or boxes needed. This train now has authority to use and abuse the main track between Roseberg and Rice Hill to the hearts content of the crew. There are two towns this train does switcihng in, Oakland and Sutherlin. No matter, both areas are within the work between limits so they can do as they please.
So! If a train has a work between Rice HIll and Roseberg does it need another warrant to go back to Roseberg when finished?
Nope! Since the end of their authority is Roseberg yard limits they can just call the YM and ask to come into his jurisdiction (it's nice to tell the DS that they're heading back home).
What if another train needs to get from Roseberg, past Rice Hill, to Cottage Grove and then on to Eugene (on Joe's layout)?
Two ways (that I'm familiar with):
1) The DS contacts the Rice Hill Rocket (Oakland Turn) crew and tells them to clear the main and contact him when clear. Once they have gotten the main clear through out the entire length of their work between warrant they call the DS and give back their warrant. Now the DS can issue a warrant to the train(s) needing to get through the Oakland/Sutherlin area. Then the DS would likely give the Rice Hill Rocket's crew another work between warrant contingent on the other train having passed through.
This works well on real railroads where there are miles and miles of track between towns and trains are relatively infrequent.
2) The DS gives the Rice Hill Rocket a work between warrant joint with 'trains' and with restricted speed across it's territory. Then when another train needs to get through the DS gives them a warrant joint with SP8227 (or what ever the engine # of the Rice Hill Rocket was) and restricted speed over the territory. The other train calls SP8227 and the two train crews arrage how to get by each other without the DS getting directly involved. This doesn't work real well on prototype railroads because it requires both trains to operate over the entire area at restricted speed. But on models with our inevitably short main line lengths between towns and too frequent trains it works well. The DS doesn't have to orchestrate everything getting previous warrants cleared and issuing new ones and the restricted speeds don't reall amount to much on many model railroads.
btw. restricted speed is usually not a specific speed limit in mph (or kph) but instead the speed at which a trainman would be able to safely bring his train to a stop in 1/2 of their forward visibility.
So instead of sticking yard limits all over the place, try some 'joint with trains' warrants.
btw. In an earlier example some one had a proceed A to D clear main track at last named point where D was within yard limits. I don't believe this to be valid, as the DS doesn't control what happens within yard limits.
Hope this wasn't too long...
