A statement 'you can utilize your paperwork to locate the indicated axle as the engineer pulls up for you to make the inspection' is true or false?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only with RTC approval
• D. Only if the detector malfunctioned

Answer: (B)

In this context, the key idea is performing an axle inspection only when you can positively identify the exact axle on a stationary car, using the car’s own information and visual cues, not by relying on paperwork while the train is approaching. The statement is not valid because you shouldn’t depend on documents to locate a specific axle as the engineer is pulling up. Before inspecting, the train should be secured and the car should be in a safe, known orientation so you can verify the axle by its position on the car and its identifying markings. Relying on paperwork in that moment risks misidentifying the axle or creating a safety hazard, which is why this is false.
