DAR 1914 RCC Approval Railway Rules

DAR 1914 Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada Approval of Railway Rules

In 1914 a Rule Book for the Dominion Atlantic Railway was approved and distributed to employees who needed to know the rules in carrying out their duties.

This rule book was originally approved by the Board of Railway Commissioners in 1909, perhaps as a generic rule book for use of all Canadian railways, and was adopted by the DAR in 1914.

There was a process involved in getting the new Rules in place. In this step the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada sanctioned (or approved) the use of the new Rules by the DAR as shown below:
