Which statement accurately describes entry into ABS territory?

• A. Entry is allowed with a proceed indication or verbal permission
• B. Entry is allowed without any signal or permission
• C. Entry requires a Form D line 2
• D. Entry is prohibited under any circumstance

Answer: (A)

In ABS territory, you may enter only when you have explicit authorization: either a proceed indication at the entry signal or direct verbal permission from the dispatcher. This ensures you’re moving with proper clearance in a block system where trains operate under signal protection or dispatcher control. Entering without a signal or permission isn’t allowed, and options like relying on a form or assuming entry is permitted don’t meet the required authorization. The rule is there to keep movements coordinated and safe across ABS boundaries.
