As an avid collector of railroad paperwork, I feel
that I can shed some light on this subject. Yes, a Form D is NORAC's
version of a track warrant that is used by all the railroads currently using
NORAC rules of operation. No, PC never used any Form D's, since they were
created after the Conrail merger. PC did use Form 19's and Form A's for
operating trains, along with the official clearance card Form K. PC did
use the old PRR clearance card Form C and the NYC Form B after the merger until
the stocks of those forms were gone. And to answer another question, yes
the NS still uses the old Form D in its original format on all ex CR lines that
it operates, although the number starts with a
"T" instead of a "C" now. An aside note, CSX
also uses the Form D on all of its ex CR lines that they operate and their
numbers start with an "X".
