Once the signals have been displayed—
(1) The camp cars may not be moved for coupling to other rolling equipment or moved to another location;

(b) Warning signals indicating the presence of occupied camp cars, displayed in accordance with §§218.75 and 218.79, shall be displayed by a designated occupant of the camp cars or that person's immediate supervisor. The signal(s) shall be displayed as soon as such cars are placed on the track, and such signals may only be removed by those same individuals prior to the time the cars are moved to another location.
