If those tracks are a branch line any trains working it will already have DS permission to be there. If two trains are working the branch both trains will have working limits from the DS to keep them apart. That way neither train needs permission to work the main.
-------------------------------------
True,but,I was thinking more on main line operation.. Even if you have work to do, the DS would appreciate knowing about it after all you are tying up his "railroad". Even on a branch line you may need to clear up for that second train so,that man can pass you. The truth is locals isn't very high in the pecking order-just slightly above a hi-railer.
BTW..One of the DS favorite questions is :How much time will it take you to do that? I have 2 Westbounds and 1 Eastbound to run.
