Before the change to the current system of Rule x, section y.
Regulation 206 was as follows :-

206(a) During shunting operations a driver must not move his train,
although the necessary fixed signal may be exhibited, unless he has
recieved a hand signal to do so from the guard, shunter or other
person in charge.
206(b) In many cases the signal is exhibited for trains to run into a
siding which is already in part occupied. Drivers must, therefore, be
prepared to stop short of any other vehicles that may be in the
siding.
Except where special instructions are issued to the contrary, when
shunting the carriages of electric trains, the driver must always be
in the drivers compartment at or nearest to the leading end of the
train.
206(c) When putting away loose carriages in any depot or siding, they
are not to be uncoupled from the engine or motor car until they are at
rest in the position in which they are required.

(Victorian Railways Rules and Regulations as amended April 1966)

Hope this helps (and hope this doesn't attract the attention of the
Railways Internet Copyright Police ;-)).
