Can the employee in charge allow the movement of trains into areas protected by foul time?

The movement of trains into areas protected by foul time is not permitted. Foul time is designated to safeguard maintenance personnel, equipment, or other operations occurring on the tracks, ensuring their safety. Allowing trains to enter these protected areas would compromise that safety, as it could put workers at risk and potentially lead to accidents. Therefore, the procedures and protocols are clear that an employee in charge cannot authorize such movements, as doing so violates established safety regulations and operational guidelines.

The other choices could imply scenarios that may undermine established safety protocols, which are in place for clear reasons to maintain a safe working environment for all personnel involved in rail operations.
