(b) Other rolling stock must be maintained so that its condition does not entail undue hazards to transportation crews or to workmen whose duties require them to work around the haulage.

(c) Cars must be kept reasonably tight to hold coal spillage within practical limits.

(d) Motormen shall inspect locomotives before operating and report conditions found that make operation hazardous. They shall exercise a degree of care of haulage equipment consistent with the type of service and conditions of operation.
