==Overview==
The GCOR rules are intended to enhance [[railroad]] [[safety]]. The rules cover employee responsibilities, signaling equipment, procedures for safe train movement, dealing with accidents and other topics that directly and indirectly affect railroad safety. Some [[railroad|railroads]] modify the GCOR rules to suit their specific operations.
The GCOR is supplemented by System Special Instructions, [[Timetables]], Hazardous Materials Instructions, Air Brake and Train Handling Instructions. These documents are issued by each railroad. System Special instructions and [[Timetables]] can modify or amend the General Code of Operating Rules.
