Who should you contact for the Advance yard?

• A. Jamaica storage yardmaster (yard 3) - channel 3
• B. M of E tracks supervisor
• C. Jamaica station master
• D. Transportation manager

Answer: (A)

When coordinating yard movements, the person with authority over that specific yard handles entry, switching, and track occupancy. The yardmaster for the Jamaica storage yard (yard 3) has direct control over the Advance yard, including which track a train should enter and when, and they communicate via a designated channel to keep movements coordinated and safe. That’s why contacting the Jamaica storage yardmaster for yard 3 on channel 3 is the appropriate step.

The other roles operate in different areas: the M of E tracks supervisor focuses on track maintenance and mainline operations, not yard entry; the Jamaica station master runs station operations and passenger services; the transportation manager oversees broader transport planning rather than hands-on yard coordination.
