DEFINITION OF SPEEDS   DIVERGING Speed:  A speed not exceeding twenty five (25) miles per hour.   LIMITED Speed:  A speed not exceeding forty five (45) miles per hour.   MEDIUM Speed:  A speed not exceeding thirty (30) miles per hour.   REDUCED Speed:  A speed that will permit stopping within one-half the range of vision of equipment.   RESTRICTED Speed:  A speed that will permit stopping within one-half the range of vision of equipment, also prepared to stop short of a switch not properly lined and in no case exceeding SLOW speed. When moving at RESTRICTED speed, be on the lookout for broken rails. When a broken rail is detected, the movement must be stopped immediately and must not resume until permission is received from the RTC or signalman.   SLOW Speed:  A speed not exceeding fifteen (15) miles per hour.
