Who issues Form D to employees?

Who issues Form D to employees?

• A. Dispatcher
• B. Conductor
• C. Yardmaster
• D. Engineer

Answer: (A)

Form D is issued by the dispatcher because the dispatcher is the one who coordinates train movements and issues official instructions to employees. This form represents formal communication from the person responsible for movement control, ensuring crews know their assignments or instructions in a consistent, railroad-wide way. A conductor directs the crew aboard a specific train, a yardmaster manages yard movements, and an engineer operates the locomotive; none of them issue Form D to employees in the same official capacity as the dispatcher.
