I'm aware only 150's are used on the service, but the statement was "NO PACERS ALLOWED". I was wondering if you'd actually heard this? because they clearly are. Now, 158's and 175's are not allowed. But pacers are.

just checked the Sectional Appendix under line clearance. For the whole route, class 121, 142, 143, 150 & 153 are cleared without restriction. any class higher than that (DMUs) are not cleared. The thing is, I've heard that pacers are not allowed on there too, so I'm wondering where this is...
