railroad will administer the training of previously uncertified 
engineers with extensive operating experience or previously certified

provisions of Secs. 240.201, 240.217, and 240.307;
    (2) The prior certification was for the same classification of 
locomotive or train service as the certification being issued under this 
section;
    (3) The person has received training on and visually observed the 
physical characteristics of the new territory in accordance with 
Sec. 240.123;
    (4) The person has demonstrated the necessary knowledge concerning 
the railroad's operating rules in accordance with Sec. 240.125;
    (5) The person has demonstrated the necessary performance skills 
concerning the railroad's operating rules in accordance with 
Sec. 240.127.
