Not exactly. Air Brake and Train Handling (ABTH) of employing RR. One GCOR. Special instructions of each RR that modifies GCOR to the specific host RR. General Orders and Notices of host RR for System and divisions/subdivisions operating on.

By the way I'm not all that impressed by passenger conductors. I was riding a commuter RR back east and asked the lovely lady conductor what a flashing green signal meant on her road. She had no idea. She wouldn't have got a rules card where I come from. I could see some old time conductors rolling in their graves. Like the ones that kept asking brakeman what milepost they were going by in the dark on a caboose. Of course I've seen hoggers that confused a green signal for a lunar so who knows.
