During emergencies, RCC CTDs ensure the safety of maintenance crews working on the roadbed as well as the safety and security of customers and employees by directing inter- and intra-agency personnel on emergency procedures and mitigating service interruptions. They direct required emergency actions in compliance with applicable rules, regulations, policies and procedures. They also conduct investigations on train delays and prepare reports describing the incidents that occurred within their area of responsibility. They cooperate with RCC-based Service Delivery personnel, field-based Line Superintendents, Train Service Supervisors, Train/Yard Dispatchers, and other Train Service personnel during emergency incidents and supervise delay-management efforts during unexpected service disruptions. CTDs may also be assigned to a service-regulation job, as needed and at the discretion of RCC management.
