When can mile post numbers be used in train orders, general orders, or general notices?

Mile post numbers can be used in train orders, general orders, or general notices when they match the station page mileage. This is important because it ensures consistency and clarity in communication regarding train movements and locations. The use of mile post numbers that align with established reference points, such as station mileage, minimizes confusion and enhances operational safety by providing precise locational information.

Using mile post numbers inconsistently or without matching the station page mileage could lead to misinterpretations or operational errors. It is critical for operators and train crews to have a shared understanding of the designated mileages to maintain effective coordination and adherence to the schedules and operational procedures.
