    Moving Dimensions: SR 4.28 1 to 3.

    Loads which infringe standard moving dimensions will not be dispatched without the sanction of the COM (Chief Operations
    Manager), who will, if necessary obtain the sanction of CRS (Commissioner of Railway Safety) through CE (Chief Engineer).
    When Guard wagons are attached due to projections beyond the ends of a wagon, Guard must see that they are not separated
    from the wagons in which the projected load is placed.
    Standard moving dimensions are prescribed to each gauge for safe conveyance of loads so that the load should not come into
    contact with the fixed structures like Platforms, Signal posts, OHE masts, Bridges and Tunnels etc.
    The standard moving dimensions on BG are:

    A load can be declared ODC / ISMD depending on its height and width. Any load which exceeds the permissible height / width is
    called as Over Dimensional Consignment / Infringing Standard Moving Dimensions.
    Except under approver special instructions issued by CRS (Commissioner of Railway Safety), no vehicle shall
    be loadedto exceed standard moving dimensions.

    Types: ODC are classified into three types.
