I’ve read that if you have hazmat cars in a train, you should put them a few cars away from the engines and the caboose. I’m wondering if the same rule applies when you switch hazmat cars in a yard, or when you’re setting them out or picking them up at an industry? If the rule applies all the time, I think it would be an interesting factor to consider when you're switching on your model railroad.
I’m also wondering if you now a day, when you usually don’t use cabooses, can you put hazmat cars at the end of a train or are there some other rule/policy that forbids that?
