Answer: No
Feedback:
Reverse movements are not possible on a yard track because there is no authorized direction. No authority is required when moving in yard tracks (i.e., "other than main tracks"). GCOR 6.28, Movement on Other Than Main Tracks, governs how trains move while working within a yard. Reverse movements can be made on a main track, a controlled siding, or any track where a block system is in effect.
