PREAMBLE
While the General Rules apply on the Indian Railways, the Subsidiary Rules
incorporated in this book especially pertains to North Central Railway. The
Subsidiary Rules (S.R.) are to be read in conjunction with the General Rules (G.R.)
becauseboth General and Subsidiary Rules are equally binding on the staff.
Obviously, the General Rules are printed in bold fonts for clarity and are
serially numbered in all the 18 chapters. The Subsidiary Rules below the General
Rules to which they pertain, prefixed with letter' S.R.' and 05 appendices exclusively
areprintedinthenormalfont.
While issuing the second edition of North Central Railway an opportunity has
been taken to frame the Subsidiary Rules conducive to the safe and smooth
operations, keeping in mind the intelligibility and comprehensibility in the light of the
provisions of the General Rules. Reasonable care has been taken in compilation of
these rules, however, if any omissions might have occurred, same may be provided as
amendment/addition is a continuous process and suggestions, if any, may be given
withimperativereasons.
The working of trains on this Railway has to be governed under the various
provisions of the rules incorporated in this book. No order contained in this shall be
varied, superseded, suspended or shown to the public. These rules, therefore, have to
be studied and adhered to carefully for safe, smooth and expeditious operation on the
system of working of trains.

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS
(RAILWAY BOARD)
No. 69-RR/4
NEW Delhi, Dated the 11th February, 1976
RESOLUTION
General Rules for Indian Railways (Open Lines) 1976 administered by the Government, and
for the time being used for the Public carriage of passengers, animals or goods.
2. For this purpose, a committee composed of officers selected from the Traffic and
Signal Departments was appointed by the Railway Board in 1968. The committee submitted a set of
draft rules for consideration by the Board in February, 1970. The Commission of Railway safety,
whose comments were also invited, did not favour the adoption of these draft rules, which had
proposed the abolition of certain existing fundamental concepts such as classification of stations,
minimum equipment of signals for each class of station, etc. In the Annual Report for 1971-72, the
Commission stated that a wholesale revision and re-arrangement of the rules which formed the basis
oftrainworkingandsafetyofoperationsforoverlOOyearsandwhichwereingrainedinthemindsof
thousands of railway staff, would not be desirable. Accordingly, the Commission conveyed to the
Railway Board its inability to agree to the adoption of the new General Rules as drafted.

(a) On hearing an explosion, the Loco Pilot must stop his tram as soon as possible, and examine
thetrackalongwith the Guard at the site of the explosion to ascertain the extent of the damage. If theLoco
Pilot does not bring the tram to a stand within a reasonable time, the Guard shall draw the attention of the
Loco Pilot on walkie-talkie and by cautiously applying the vaccuum/air pressure by means of the Guards
Van Valve.
(b) TheLocoPilotshallalsoexaminethetramalongwiththeGuardandiflittleornodamagehas
been done to the train andif it is safe for the train to proceed to the next block station, the tram will be taken
ahead to the next block station and the Guard and Loco Pilot will jointly report the occurrence to Station
Masteronduty.
(c) If the damage to the track is so serious as to render the track unsafe, a competent Railway
servantwillbeleftatthesite with detonators to protectthespotinaccordancewithG.R.6.03.
(d) On receipt of a report from the Loco Pilot and the Guard, the Station Master must
immediately advise the Controller, who will inform all concern for a thorough examination of the tram
and the engine at the next terminal station. The Controller will also advise the Section Engineer (P. Way),
who will proceedto the spot, inspect thetrackand take such precautions as necessary to put the track right

such less speed as the reporting Loco Pilot may have specified, until the Senior Section Engineer
(P. Way) or the Assistant Engineer has certified the track safe for the resumption of normal speed,
when thestationMasterwillissuean"Allconcernedmessage"to all those originally advised.
S.R.2.11/4. Precautions to be taken for working of trains during storm and strong wind:-
(i) When the warning message forecasting cyclone, storm or strong wind has been received
from the Meteorological Department and/or there is a reasonable doubtthat severe storm
is going to break out endangering the safety of passengers, trains, etc. the Station Master
shall, in consultation with the Guard and the Loco Pilot of the train detain the train and
also refuse to grant Line Clear to a train coming to his station until storm abates and he
considers movements of trains safe.
(ii) Shouldatrainbecaughtontherunincyclone,stormorstrongwindofanintensitywhich,
in the opinion of the Loco Pilot, is likely to endanger the safety of the train he shall
immediately control the speed of his tram and bring it to a stop at the first convenient
place taking care as far as possible to avoid stoppage of the train at places like sharp
curves, high embarkments and bridges (including approaches there of). In controlling the
speed and bringing the train to halt, the Loco Pilot shall stop his train carefully and
without a jerk. He shall restart the train in consultation with the Guard only after the
cyclone, storm or strong wind abates and it is considered safe to proceed.
(hi) The Guard and the Loco Pilot/Assistant Loco Pilot of the train in co-operation with the

CHAPTER-III SIGNALS
(1) The Stop signals, which control the movement of trains leaving a station, are of two kinds,
namely-StarterandAdvancedStartersignal.
(2) When a train leaving a station is guided by only one starting signal, it is the last Stop signal
of a station and is called the Starter signal.
(3) When a train leaving a station is guided by more than one Starter signal, the outermost
starting signal is the last Stop signal of the station and is called the Advanced Starter
signal.
(4) The Starter, where only one such signal is provided, or the Advanced Starter, shall be fixed
at the limit beyond which no train may pass, unless the Loco Pilot is given the authority to
proceed required under the system of working, and shall be placed outside all connections
on the line to which it refers except where otherwise allowed by approved special
instructions. Shunting operations beyond this limit shall be carried out only in
accordance with special instructions.
(5) Where an Advance Starter signal is provided, the Starter referring to any line shall be
placed so as to protect the first facing points or fouling mark of the connections to another
runningline.

S.R.3.51/1 DiscormectionofPoints and Signals:- Before taking in hand any disconnection of points,
signals or any interlocking gear the person mcharge of the work must advise the station Master on duty in
writing on form T/351 ( S&T) before the work is started and after it is completed. Where the cabins are
under the control of Station Master, he must advise the cabin staff giving the particulars of the point/signal
etcwhichis disconnected under exchange of private numbers.
Whenever the Disconnection memo has been received, it is the personal responsibility of Station
Master to ensure that such point are set and locked and secured by means of clamps and padlocks before
authorizing the movement of any tram over such points. If the disconnection of points is made at one end
of a cross over, the point at both end of cross-over should be treated as having been disconnected and the
train shallbereceived as under-
A. InthecaseofMechanicallv/electricallvoperatedpoints:-

cross movement if the movement is over the cross-over.
2. The end where work is not being done shall also be treated as non-interlocked, and also
clamped and padlocked and trains passed on signals but with speed restriction of 15 KMPH as
in the case of overhauling of lever frames subject to a written authority from S & T staff that
"Noworkisbeingdoneattheendofthecross-overandthetrainscanbepassedoverthepoints
at the restricted speed of 15 KMPH on signals". It should also be ensured that for a tram
passing over the straight road at the end where work is not being done thatthe other endwhere
workisbeingdoneshouldbeclamped also for the straightroa4i.e. for isolation.
3. In case of Electrically operated points for the purpose of obtaining detection at the end where
work is not being done, the S&T staff at the end where work is being done may undertake
requisite temporary modifications in the S&T Gear/circuit for adjusting the detector slide to
make contacts corresponding to the other end and the fact be incorporated in the memo
exchangedbetween S&T Staff and Station Master.
B. Procedure of working of trains during failure of electrically operated points of the cross over:-
1. On receipt of information from the operating staff about the failure of the point, S&T staff will
tryto ascertain the nature offault and put right the failure.
2. If the S&T staff anticipates that the rectification of the failure is likely to take a long time, they
will inform the operating staff in writing on a disconnection Memo to initiate action as under-
3. On receipt of such written information from the S&T staff on a disconnection memo, the
Station Master will ensure correct setting on the affected points to normal position and will
then clamp and padlock both ends of the crossover in the normal position. Station Master, will
under to circumstances remove the clamp in the normal setting unless and until he receives the
memofromtheS&Tstaffthattemporarymodificationshavebeenremoved,andtheconditions
i n P a r a ^ a r e complied with.
4. After clamping and padlocking the point, the Station Master will advise the S&T staff in
wntmgthat-
"Single ended point/both ends of crossover point No have been clamped and
padlocked in the Normal position and the necessary temporary modification to the installation
may please be made."
S&TstaffwillthencarryoutthetemporarymodificationsasgiveninParaSbelow.

5. S&TstaffnotbelowtherankofaSectionalEngineer,onreceiptofsuchawrittenadvice
from Station Master, as per Para 4 above, will carry out temporary modifications to the
S&T installations so that point steady normal indication is available on the panel, by
making normal detection available and restricting the clearance of signals reading over
the said point (including overlap) to vellow aspect only.
6. After carrying out the temporary modifications, the S&T staff shall advise Station
Master in writing that "temporary modifications with respect to point. No have
been carried out" and clearance of (signal name) signal Numbers &
havebeenrestrictedtoyellowaspectonly
7. On receipt of the advise as per Para 6 above Station Master will arrange for issue of
caution order to the trains for observing 15 Kmph on the route of concerned signals.
This may require advising at Station Master of the adjacent stations also.
8. StationMastershallarrangeforpostingsuitableoperationsstaffneartheaffectedpomt
for the purpose of monitoring the conditions of clamps and points after every
movement. The staff deputed to monitor the point should be equipped with
communication facility with controlling cabin/Station Master on duty, HS lamps and
flags (red and green) and detonators and shall arrange for protection of trains in case the
condition of affected point or clamps on it warrants the same. In such a condition, he
shall also advise the Station Master to restore the concerned signal to 'ON' position and
to refrain from taking them 'OFF' for any subsequent move till the condition of the
points and clamps is setright.
9. After ensuring that the caution orders are being issued Station Master shall allowed the
first train on the affected lines and over the affected points to pass on 'A' marker m the
semi automatic territory and on the Calling-On signal or on written authority in the
Absoluteblocksectionterritory
10. Station Master shall pass the subsequent train by taking 'OFF' signals after setting the
route m the normal manner. However due to temporary modifications made by the S&T
staff in term of para 5 above, the concerned signals will work as free signals and will
clear to one vellow aspect only.
11. (a) After the defect is rectified the SE/S&T in consultation with Station Master will
remove the temporary modifications done as per Para 5 and will give a memo to
StationMaster stating "Workwith respect to point No. / Crossover No
has been completed and temporary modifications have been removed and the
pointisreadyfortesting".
(b) Before acknowledging a memo Station Master will ensure none of the route
sections over the affected point is set and the signals controlling the movement
over it are at 'ON' position and the tracks are clear. This is for ensuring that no
trainspassovertheaffectedpointduringthetesting.
12. After the points are fully tested, the SE/S&T will give Re-connection memo indicating
in a written declaration that "all the temporary modifications made to the installations
have been deleted and the installation is made fully normal and safe with respect to
pomtNo ".
13. Station Master on receipt of re-connection memo can resume normal working over the
affectedpointsunderadvicetoSectionController.

F. Detonating Signals
3.59. Description of detonating signals - Detonating signals, otherwise known as detonators or fog
signals, are appliances which are fixed on the rails and when an engine or a vehicle passes over them,
they explode with a loud report so as to attract the attention of the Loco pilot.
3.60. Method of using detonators-
(1) A detonator when required to be used shall be placed on the rail with the label or brand
facing upwards and shall be fixed to the rail by bending the clasps around the head of
the rail.
(2) In case of a mixed gauge, detonators shall be placed on the common rail or on one rail
ofeachgauge.
3.61. Placing of detonators in thick foggy or tempestuous weather impairing visibility-
(1) In thick, foggy or tempestuous weather impairing visibility whenever it is necessary to
indicate to the Loco pilot of an approaching train the locality of a signal, two
detonators shall be placed on the line, by a railway servant appointed by the Nation
Master in this behalf, about 10 metres apart, and at least 270 meters outside the signal
or signals concerned.

CHAPTER-III SIGNALS
(2) (a) The Station Master may comply with the provisions of sub-rule (1) at his discretion:
but shall always do so when visibility conditions from any cause prevent him from
seeing a prescribed visibility test object from a distance of not less than 180 meters or a
lesser distance if expressly sanctioned by the Railway Board.
(b) The visibility test object may be-
(i) a post erected for the purpose and lighted at night; or
(ii) the arm by day and the light or the back-light by night of a fixed semaphore signal
specified by special instructions; or
(iii) the light of a fixed colour light signal both by day and night specified by special
instructions.
S.R.3.61/l(a)(i)Thecheckofadequacyofvisibilily through VTO is to guide the station Master so thathe
can decide when detonators are to be placed to warn the Loco pilot of the location of an approach stop
signal andfor deciding onsetofthe thick, foggy ortempestous weather impairing visibility which calls for
lighting of signals before granting line clear, fixing of tail lamps even during day time, shunting in face of
an approaching tram etc. VTO is to be provided at all stations.
The VTO must be specified in SWRs. The VTO may be a HS Lamp of a type that corresponds to the
specific type of signal lamp on the signals provided at the station i.e. a K. Oil lit HS lamp for K. Oil lit
signals, oranelectricallylitwithbattery type HSlampforLED or color light signals respectively.
(ii) VTO for Semaphore signalling and for two aspect CLS -
The VTO may be the light (or arm by day) of a Starter Signal (where exists) or the back light of
the Home Signal etc. as defined in GR 3.61(2)(b). In such cases, the VTO is normally located
300-350 meters at a place from where it is to be seen by the SM. During foggy or tempestuous
weather, when such aVTO is not seen by the SM, it shall determine that fog has set m.
(iii) VTO for MultipleAspect Colour light signalling-
(a) At Station with MACLS, the prescribed VTO will be the Starter Signal of either side located
at a distance of not less than 180 meters from the centre of the SM's office where the Station
Master shallnonnallystaiKl for exchanging ofsignals..
(b)whenaprescnbed VTO is not visible from 180 meter or more during dense fog, the SMshall
not use his descretion as per GR 3.61 (2) (a) but will arrange to place the detonators to warn
the Loco Pilot, unless specified otherwise in these instructions.
(iv) When the VTO (or the prescribed (VTO) provided under conditions laid down is not visible to
the Station Master, he shall take action as under-
(a) Ensure that signals are lit during night as well as during day in Semaphore Signalling
sections when visibility is impaired due tofog.
(b) Observe the VTObefore granting Line Cleartoatraia
(c) In case prescribed VTO is not visible take action as under-
• Station Master shall depute fog signalman with detonators to place detonators in
situations prescribed under SR 3.61/1 (b) (ii) at 270 meters from the first stop signal to
mformmadvancethelocationofthis signal to the Loco Pilot ofthe approaching tram.
• No shunting should be earned out on non-isolated lines after granting Line clear to an
approachmgtram.
(d) Provisions given as per GR 5.18 to be followed strictly and no tram to be advanced beyond
theStarter,orbeyondintermediateStartersignalwherethisexists,uptotheAdvance Starter

testing of detonators one from each batch at least once in 12 months. Proper record of testing done should
bemaintamed.
(b) The normal shelf life of detonators manufactured during 2010 and thereafter shall be 5 years.
Reckoned from the year of its manufacture. It can however, be extended further for a maximum of 3 more
years provided that detonators which are more than 5 years old are effective. For this purpose two
detonators of each batch lot should be tested at the end of 5 years and if the result of these tests are
satisfactory life of the detonators of that batch should be extended by one more year, on expiry of which
similar teste shouldbe conducted annually to extend the life ofdetonatorsofthat particular batch/lot upto
amaximumofSyearsfromtheyearofmanufacture.
Other than this, which are manufactured before 2010, the life of detonators will remain 7 years from
themonthofmanufacture.
(c) Detonators bearing any sign of rust on the surface or appearing unsatisfactory in any way or
those failing to explode during tests or in actual working shall be promptly returned to the issuing officer
forreplacement.
(d) While testing detonators from a plastic case, the one which is the oldest as regards the date of
manufacture shouldbe used.
(e) Detonators shall be tested under an empty wagon moving at 8 to 11 Kms. per hour. The empty
wagon must be propelled by a electric or diesel locomotive. Test shall not be carried out by any person
below the rank of a Traffic Inspector, SE (P.Way), Loco Inspector, Loco Foreman. Station Master at
Guard's headquarter station are, however, authorised to test detonators in their charge or issued by them.
Caremustbetaken to ensure thattest is not conducted m a crowded locality or near a level crossing where
splinters from detonators may cause injury.
(f) ExceptingtheCrewofthelocomotiveemployedinthetest,nopersonshallbeallowedtoremam

themselves well within the cab while passing over the detonators. The ofiicial-m-charge of the testing
operation, shall before commencement of the operation, be responsible for posting sufficient men to
ensure thatno person encroaches upon the 45 meters safety radius until thetestis completed.
(g) The staff shall, while observing the safety radius of 45 meters, place them as far as possible in
rear of the locomotive of tram or wagon passing over the detonators as it has been found in practice that
splinters from detonators seldom fly in a direction towards the rear ofthe wheel which explodes them.
(h) A record or the number of detonators tested as also the result of test shall be maintained in a

electrically detected points and in cases where such an indication does not appear mspite of correct route
having been set & locked, the signal concerned should be operated by pulling its relevant lever in case of
colour light or motor operated signals. If signals come 'OFF' the tram should be received/despatched on
signals as usual, if, however, the signal fails to respond the signal should be treated as defective and
reception/departure arranged as per the procedure prescribed in these rules for reception/despatch of
trains on defective signals. In the case of semaphore signals provided with Electric signal reverses, if the
point indication does not appear, the signal should be treated as defective and reception departure
arranged as per the procedure prescribed in these rules for reception/despatch of trains on defective
signals.
NOTE:-The Station Working Rules of each station shall enumerate the precise signals provided with
reverser or electric signal motors or colour light signal units to make the application of this procedure
clear to the Cabinman.
(11) In case of electric indication of slots provided in Cabins, if electric indication of the slot
fails due to failure of bulb or any other reason, the colour light or electric motor operated signal should be
operatedbythe Cabinman by pulling its relevant lever after verifying under exchange of private numbers
that the relevant slot has been given. If the signal comes off, the tram should be received/despatched on
signals as usual. If,however, the signal fails to respond, the signal should be treated as defective and
reception/despatch arranged as per the procedure prescribed in these rules for reception/despatch of trains
on defective signals.
(c) At interlocked stations where no cabin staff are posted, the Station Master on duty shall ensure
the checks(mentionedinSR3.68/l(a))p e rsoiiallyorby the deputing ofany competent staff.
(d) Atnon-interlockedstationswherepomtsarefittedwithkeylock,theStationMastermustsatisfy
himself personally that there is no gap in the points due to ballast etc. or any obstruction and if there is,
should remove it, if this results in the signals coming 'OFF' normal working shall be resumed. At such
stations the extraction of appropriate key will ensure that the points have been correctly set and locked
without anygap.
S.R. 3.68/2. If interlocking is in order and whenever possible, relevant levers shall be pulled in order to
obtain the security providedby the interlocking.
S.R. 368/3. The Station Master on duty at the Station where any signal has become defective, shall act in
accordance with G.R.3.68(a). Where it is not possible to put the signal back to 'ON' he shall arrange to

(b) Incase the Outer signal is 'Off and the Home Signal is in the "ON" position the Loco Pilot should
bnng his tram to a stand at the Outer Signal. If, However, due to inadequate sighting distance of the Home
signal, the tram cannot be brought to a stop at the Outer Signal, the Loco Pilot must bring his tram to stop
short of Advance Starting Signal or Shunting Limit Board for the opposite direction in case of single line
stations and short of Home signal in the case of double line stations, and he should not draw up to the
Home signal until that signal is taken "Off or unless he is authorised to pass it in the 'On' position, in
accordance with G.R. 3.80.
(c) The following signals are inter-related signals-
(1) Receptionsignals-
© Outer,
(11) Home,
hi) Routing Home
(2) Departure Signals-
(i) StarterandmtermediateStarter(ifprovided),
(n) Advance Starter,
Hence, when one or more signals of a group of interrelated signals are defective, the
Loco Pilot of a tram may be given a single written authority for passing all the interrelated signals,
However, in doing this, advantage of detection by taking 'Off signals, which are in order, should not be
lost.

5.14. Responsibility for shunting- The Station Master shall see that the shunting of train or
vehicle is carried on only at such times and in such manner as will not involve danger.
S.R. 5.14/l.(a) It is responsibility of the Shunting Supervisor to acquaint himself with shunting
restnctionsmentionedmSWRofthestationbeforethecommencementofshunting.
(b) The person, who initially gives instructions for Shunting operations shall not change
instructions and authorise the changing of points etc., unless he has satisfied himself that shunting
operations have been stopped completely and the Staff conducting shunting have been advised of the
changes contemplated.
(c) The securing of vehicles after shunting should be done by station staff, such as, points men,
Portersoranyother staff deputed for shunting, under personal supervision ofthe tram Guard or the person
mchargeofshunting.
(d)(i)At interlocked stations those facing Points which are equipped with track locks/lockbar shall be
invariably locked by pulling the track lock/lock bar lever during shunting operations, if interlocking
permits.
(11) Facing Points at interlocked stations which are neither equipped with track locks/lock bars
nor key-locked and all points at non-interlocked stations shall be set & locked either by a clamp or by a
through bolt (cotter bolt) with a padlock. However in case of points over which shunting moves are
governed by Shunt signals or Starter signals which detect the locking ofthe points, shall be taken "Off' to
securethefacmgpoints.
(in) In all other cases involving movement over running lines, the facing points shall be
clamped/cotter bolted and padlocked. However, it will not be necessary to clamp in case of yard shunting
involving use of non-runmg lines but defective points in non-interlocked yards, if set by any means must
beclampedandpadlocked
(e) Whenever any shunting is to be carried out across the mam line over the emergency cross over
points, all the relevant facing points must be properly set & locked with appropriate lock levers. In
addition to such locking the facing ofthe emergency cross over must also be cotter bolted and padlocked
bythepersonresponsibletosupervisesuchshuntmg
(f) Whenever any shunting operation involving running lines requiring co-operation ofthe Station
Master with cabins is to be done, Pnvate Numbers shall be exchanged between SM and Cabmman before
the commencement and after accomplishment of shunting movement in token of assurance of occupation
and clearance ofthe involved running lines. Proper entries, in this regard, shall be made in the Log
Register.
(g) FixedsignalsexceptOuter,HomeandlastStopsignalmaybetaken'OffforShuntmgpurposes.
(h) Hand signals should be shown in such a manner as to be clearly visible to the Loco pilot. If hand
signals are shown from a Cabin, such signals must be repeated by the person in charge of shunting
operation from the ground. The Loco Pilot shall act only on the latter's signals.
(i) The person in charge of shunting operations must see that conflicting signals are not shown to
the Loco Pilot
G) Whenshuntinghastobeperformedonatrainwithtwoengines,oneengineonlymustbeusedto
do the work except in case of two diesel or electric engines coupled together to form one multiple unit and
when operated by one Loco Pilot only, subject to local restrictions, if any, imposed in sidings and
elsewhere.
(k) Screw couplings must not be allowed to hang down and drag, during shunting operations.
Vacuum/airhosepipesmustbeplacedondummyplugs before the screw coupling is unhooked.
(1) When vehicles are being moved by an engine for attaching to a passenger tram, the
vacuum/air brake should be connected up so thai"brake power will be available. In the case of shunting on
goods trains at intermediate stations, the vacuum/air brake should, as far as possible, be connected with
fhe engine.
(m) Carnages occupied by passengers must not be moved for shunting purpose without the personal
instructions ofthe Station Master and also the Guard ofthe tram concerned, who will jointly be
responsible for taking all precautions, to warn passengers and to prevent accidents either to the passengers
in the carnages or to those attempting to get into or out of them under the impression that me train is
starting. The Guard shall have the vacuum/air brake connected up and see to the correct setting of points
over which shunting is performed.

(n) When shunting is performed simultaneously from both ends in a yard, the person in charge of
shunting operations, pnor to shunting or backing a tram or load which may foul a line or siding on which
vehicles may be shunted from the other end, will instruct the Cabin Station Master/Cabin Master/
Cabmman at his end to inform the Cabin Station Master/Cabin Master/Cabmman at the other end to
advise the person in charge of shunting operation at that end that he is about to do so, mentioning the tine
on which the shunt is to be performed. He will at the same time depute a man to proceed to the rear of the
load to pin down wagon brakes or to apply the hand brakes of brake vans, if any, to prevent the points in
rear being fouled. The man sent to the rear to pin down brakes must also be instructed to exhibit a danger
srgnal when the fouling mark in rear is being reached. If the line is on a curve, staff should be posted at
intervals to repeat this signal to the Loco Pilot to enable the tram to be stopped and thus avoid a side
collision. All Yard Masters, Yard Supervisors and Shunting Masters must make themselves acquainted
withthe capacity ofeachlineintheyanl.

pointsof clearance is indicatedby the foulingmark.
(in) No engine should be allowed on any running line at a station occupied by a tram or
vehicles carrying passengers, except the tram engine or banking engine or shunting engine required to
perform shunting on that tram. The movement of such an engine should be permitted only under the
control of the person in charge of shunting. However two trains may be placed on the same platform to
start following or opposite direction.
(iv) Shunting of wagons or other stock marked sick or damage labelled loaded with a part of
the consignment protruding to a dangerous extent, on yard lines and fixed structure of the platform
adjacent to passenger running lines should be regulated, as far as possible during the intervals between

CHAPTER-VI ACCIDENTS AND UNUSUAL OCCURRENCES
CHAPTER-VI
S.R. 6.02/1. RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR SINGLE LINE WORKING ON A DOBLE LINE
SECTIONWHENONELINEISOBSTRTJCTED:
1. Whenever an accident to a tram or track or other obstruction precludes the use of one of the
lines on a double line section the traffic may temporarily be worked over single line under one
of the following systems-
(a) Byobtaining'Lineclear'onelectricalcommunicationinstruments.
b By the installation of Single line Block Instruments and "Shunting Limit Boards"
demarcating the block section in the wrong direction, if the affected line is likely to remain out
ofuseforasubstantialpenod.
2. When it is desired to introduce temporary single line working on double line, on electrical
communication instruments, the Station master at one end of the affected section shall on
receipt of reliable information in writing that one line is clear take steps to introduce temporary
single line working on that line in consultation with the Section Controller and the Station
MasteroftheStationattheotherendofthesection.
3. If there is reason to suspect that line over which temporary single line working is to be
introduced, is also fouled or damaged, temporary single line working must not be introduced
until a responsible engineering official of the rank not less than that of a JE (P.way) has
mspectedthatsectionandcertifiedthattheroadissafeforthepassageoftrams.
4. Single line working shall be introduced between the nearest stations provided with cross-over
between up and Down lines on either side of the obstruction. If there is an intermediate Block
Hut between the above two stations, the same shall be treated as closed and the commutators of
the Block instruments at such block Huts shall be kept locked in Tram On Line' position
throughout the period single line working is in force. The commutators shall be locked also in

advise the station in advance by giving prescribed bell code and on block phone. "Tram running without
Authority to proceed" specially asking the station in advance to keep both reception and departure signals
in 'ON' the Section Controller should also be advised. The gateman enroute should be informed to stop the
tram.
(11) The station in advance will immediately ensure that all signals are in 'ON' and the route must be
set and locked for the clear line preferably mam line and arrange to place three detonators 10 meters apart
before the Starter signal.
(in) Iftram stops outside first stop signalreceptionofthe train shouldbe done as perGR5.09.
(iv) In case the Loco Pilot fails to stop and runs through after exploding detonators and disregarding
approach and departure signals, the station staff should try to attract the attention of the Guard. The guard
on receiving danger signal from the station staff, will stop the tram, In electrified section, OHE should be
switchedoff.
(v) If the tram fails to stop, the same bell code and advise as stated in item (i) to be repeated to the
next station. The gateman enroute is to be informed also for stopping the tram. The next station should
keep all signals in "ON" position and arrange to place three detonator 10 meters apart before the Home

For the purpose of testing the line, a light engine (by detaching engine if necessary) shall be used and
the Loco Pilot of the light engine shall be instructed through a special caution order to proceed at a very
lowspeedaswouldenablehimtostopshortofanyobstructionorunsafeconditiononthetrack.
The Loco Pilot will also stop the engine short of any bridge and he himself or a railway servant
accompanying him shall visually examine the portion of the track over the bridge for making sure that
there are no visible signs of any damage to any portion of the structure. In case any visible damage is
noticed, he will return with the light engine to the station from where he started for giving a report of what
he has seen. Action thereafter would be taken by the Engineering officials concerned about restoration of

CHAPTER-VIII THE ABSOLUTE BLOCK SYSTEM
CHAPTER-VIII
A. Essentials
S.R.8.01/1. Essentials of the Lock & Block system- The following are the essentials of the Lock &
block system-
(a) It shall not be possible to take 'Off last Stop signal until Line Clear' has been received from the
Blockstationmadvance.
(b) The last stop signal should immediately be replaced at 'On' automatically as soon as the tram
enters the Block section.
(c) It shall not be possible to grant line clear by the Block station in advance unless the last
preceding trainhas passed the block overlap complete and relevant reception signals have been
replaced to "On".
Note- Lock and Block system is a system of signalling in absolute block System, wherein the
p ^ a g e of trains electrically controls the block instrument, which in turn electrically controls the
signals.
8.02. Conditions for granting Line clear at a class 'A' station-At a class 'A' station on single line or
double line, the line shall not be considered cleared and Line Clear shall not be given, unless
(a) the whole of the last preceding train has arrived complete;
(b) all signals have been put backto 'On' behind the said train;
c) the line on which it is intended to receive the incoming train is clear up to the Starter; and
(d) all points have been correctly set and all facing points have been locked for the admission
of the train on the said line.
8.03. Conditions for granting Line clear at a class 'B' station-
(1) At a class 'B' station on double line, the line shall not be considered clear and Line
Clear shall not be given, unless-
(a) the whole of the last preceding train has arrived complete;
(b) all necessary signals have been put back to 'On' behind the said train; and

CHAPTER-IX THE AUTOMATIC BLOCK SYSTEM
(b) the station Master of the station ahead may authorize the Loco Pilot to pass the mid-
section modified semi-automatic stop signal working with 'A' marker extinguished
in 'On' position through approved means of communication after ensuring
conditions and procedure prescribed under special instructions;
(c) in case the Loco Pilot is unable to contact the Station Master of station ahead, he
shall pass the signal at 'On' after waiting for five minutes at the signal and proceed
cautiously and be prepared to stop short of any obstruction, at a speed not exceeding
ten kilometers an hour upto the next Signal and act as per aspect of this signal; and
(d) the Loco Pilot shall report the failure of mid-section modified semi-automatic stop
signal to the Station Master of the station ahead.
SR.9.01/1 The mid-section modified semi-automatic stop signal will be operated by the Station
Masters at both ends by operation ofa set of fog switch/buttons provided and this signal canbe operated as
normal automatic stop signal or as semi-automatic stop signal with 'A' marker distinguished Relevant
indications are available to Station Masters of the stations atboth ends to indicate whether the signal is in
automatic or modified semi-automatic mode.
Note :- Such gate signal, which has been converted as mid-section modified Semi-Automatic Signal, is
provided with TV & 'AG' markers. During modified Automatic Signalling working, these markers will
extinguish when fog switch/button is operated.
SR.9.01/2 In normal circumstances, the specified signal works in the auto mode with 'A' marker of the
semi-automatic signal lit. In abnormal circumstances, like fog, bad weather impairing visibility, when the
modified system is to be introduced, the Station Master of tram dispatching station will talk to the Station
Master of the receiving station and exchange private numbers; thereafter both the SMs shall operate the
fog switch/button. By this action of both Station Masters, the 'A' marker of all the three signals is
extinguished i.e. Advanced starter signal of the dispatching station, mid-section modified semi-automatic
stop signal and Home Signal of receiving station. Then tram working shall start under the new modified
system in either direction. The indication of aspect of mid-section modified semi-automatic stop signal
(i.e. 'On'/'Off aspect and 'A' marker lit or extinguished) shall be depicted on the VDU/Panel of both the
stations, along withtheaspectofAdvanced starter signal or Home signal, as the casemaybe.
SR9.01/3 Thus, after introduction of this system, interlocking will be such that when the mid-section
modified semi-automatic stop signal is working with 'A' marker extinguished, not more then two trains,
one on either side of this modified stop signal, will be ensured by the signalling system between two
stations in any given direction at any given point of time. The mid-section modified semi-automatic stop
signal shall when 'Off depict the aspect (Green or Double Yellow etc.) based on the aspects and number of
Automatic signals (including any other signal) between this signal and the Home signal of the receiving
station.
SR9.01/4 Once this system is introduced by the two Station Masters of the dispatching and receiving
stations at a nominated time after taking action simultaneously and tram working is started as per new
modified system, it will continue to operate automatically m the manner prescribed above and the process
of taking 'Off Advanced starter signal and mid-section modified semi-automatic stop signal need not be
repeated for every tram by the Station Masters of respective stations. Facility shall however exist to work
the Advanced starter signal and Home signal as manual signal as and when considered necessary by the
controlling Station Master. However, during the time modified system is in force, Home signal shall work
mmanual mode only.
SR9.01/5 To restore the normal automatic signalling system at a pre-fixed nominated time, the
Station Masters of the tram dispatching and tram receiving stations will talk to each other under exchange
ofpnvatenumbersandwillre-mtroducethenormalsystembyoperatingthefogswitch^uttonwhichwill
restore the 'A' marker on the mid-section modified semi-automatic stop signal to lit condition. The
condition of'A' marker of Home signal and Advanced starter signal will continue to be determined by the
StationMastersofthecontrollingstationsbasedonlocalconditions.

CHAPTER-IX THE AUTOMATIC BLOCK SYSTEM
SR9.01/6 (!) At the time of introducing the modified automatic signalling, the Station Master concerned
controlling the mid-section modified semi-automatic stop signal should, as far possible, take care that the
aspect of this signal is 'On' to avoid sudden braking by the Loco Pilot of the approaching tram. In addition,
theAdvanced starter signal andHome signal shall normally be put m manual mode before introducing the
changeover.
(11) During the change-over from normal automatic signaling to modified automatic signalling, it
may so happen that a Loco Pilot may encounter a situation when the 'A' marker gets
extinguished and aspect of the signal turns into 'On' aspect while approaching the mid-section
modified semi-automatic stop signal. In such a situation, the Loco Pilot will stop his tram and,
if this signal does not assume 'Off aspect within 5 minutes, contact the Station Master of the
station ahead on MTRC/SP and after obtaining SM's verbal authority with private number
proceed ahead ataspeedno exceeding lOkmph till the foot of the next automatic signal andbe
guidedbytheaspectofthis signal.
In case the Loco Pilot has passed the signal, he shall stop and proceed cautiously so as to be
prepared to stop short of any obstruction until next automatic stop signal is reached and shall
actuponits indication.
SR 9.01/7 Even with the change in the signalling arrangement, for the Loco Pilot, all existing
rules/instructions for tram passing in automatic signalling will be applicable. Thus all automatic signals in
the sections shall worknormally and Loco Pilot will follow existing GRs/SRs while passing these signals.
SR9.01/8 System of working during failure of signals and fog switch/button.
(a) Failure ofAdvanced Starter Signal:
When'A'markens extinguished, and the Advanced starter signal ofthe tram dispatching station has
failed, the Station Master shall issue written authority T/369(3b), dispensing with endorsement of
private number, to the Loco Pilot to pass the signal at 'On' after ensuring that the last preceding tram
has passed the mid-section modified semi-automatic stop signal and adequate distance beyond it. If
the clearance of section between Advanced starter signal and mid-section modified semi-automatic
stop signal cannotbeascertainedbythedispatchingStationMaster,hewilltalktotheStationMaster
ofthe receiving station and after confirming under exchange of private numbers that the last
preceding tram has arrived complete at the station ahead, he will authorize the Loco Pilot on T/369
(3b) to pass the defective Advanced starter signal in 'On' position. In both the above cases, the Loco
Pilot shall proceed at a speed not exceeding 10 kmph till the foot ofthe next automatic signal and
thereafterbeguidedbytheaspectofthissignalobservingGR9.02andSR3.61/2(a).
(b) Failure of Mid-section Modified Semi-Automatic Stop Signal.
(i) If the mid-section modified semi-automatic stop signal becomes defective and/or shows 'On'
aspect due to any reason, the Loco Pilot will contact the Station Master ofthe receiving station
on Mobile Tram Radio Communication (MTRQ/Signal Post Telephone (SPT) provided on
mid-section modified semi-automatic stop signal, and inform him about the same. The Station
Master shall authorize the Loco Pilot with private number to proceed ahead only after the last
preceding tram has arrived complete at his station. The Loco Pilot shall proceed at a speed not
exceeding 10 kmph till the foot ofthe next automatic signal and thereafter be guided by the
aspect of this signal observing GR 9.02 and SR 3.6 l/2(a) after recording the private number in
his working diary. In case telephone is not available or defective and Loco Pilot is not able to
contact the Station Master concerned and the signal remains in 'On' position, he shall wait for 5
minutes and, if the signal remains 'On', will proceed ahead as per, GR 9.02 and SR 3.61/2(a)
andreportthesametotheSMofthestationaheadonWalkie-talkieorbywrittenmemo.
(n) On becoming aware that the mid-section modified semi-automatic stop signal with 'A' marker
extinguished has failed, the Station Master ofthe tram receiving station shall inform the
Station Master ofthe tram dispatching station about the same who shall, before dispatching a
tram, treat the entire section upto the block station ahead as one block section and obtain 'Line
Clear' from the Station Master of the tram receiving station under exchange of private
numbers.

CHAPTER-IX THE AUTOMATIC BLOCK SYSTEM
The receiving Station Master will grant l i n e Clear' only after the last preceding tram has arrived
complete at his station. The dispatching SM shall then issue a written authority T/9.01(4)totheLoco
Pilot to pass the defective mid-section semi-automatic stop signal at 'On' without stopping at the
signal. An endorsement shall be made on such an authority that the 'Line Clear' for the block section

crossing, the controlling Station Master shall ensure that the level crossing gate is closed to road
traffic before granting 'Line Clear' or permitting the tram to enter the block section, as the case may
be. This system of dispatching only one tram in the block section shall continue till the mid-section

9.02. Duties of Loco Pilot and Guard when an Automatic Stop Signal on double line is to be passed at
'On'
(1) When a Loco Pilot finds an Automatic Stop signal with an 'A' marker at 'On', he shall
bring his train to a stop in rear of the signal. After bringing his train to a stop in the rear of
the signal, the Loco Pilot shall wait there for one minute by day and two minutes by night,
If after waiting for this period, the signal continues to remain at' On', he shall give the
prescribed code of whistle and exchange signals with the guard and then proceed ahead,
as far as the line is clear, towards the next stop signal in advance exercising great caution
so as to stop short of any obstruction.
(2) The guard shall show a stop hand signal towards the rear when the train has been so
stopped at an Automatic stop signal, except as provided for in sub-rule (4).
(3) Where owing to the curvature of the line, fog, rain or dust storm, engine working the train

tempestuous weather impairing visibility, no rail shall be displaced and no other work which is
likely to cause obstruction to the passage of trains shall be performed, except in cases of emergency.
15.08 Precautions before commencing operations which would obstruct the line:
(1) No person employed on the way or works shall change or turn a rail, disconnect points or
signals, or commence any other operation which would obstruct the line until Stop
signals have been exhibited and where prescribed detonators used; and if within station
limits, he has also obtained the written permission of the Station Master and all necessary
signalshavebeenplacedat'On':
Provided that the exhibition of Stop signals may be dispensed with, if such
operations are performed or carried out after the necessary signals, other than
Automatic Stop Signals, have, in addition to being placed in the 'On' position, been
disconnected, so that such signals cannot be taken 'Off again until it is safe to do so and
the corresponding adequate distance beyond such signals is kept clear:
Provided further that when the area of work is controlled by Automatic signals, the
railway servant in charge of the work shall post a competent railway servant at an
adequate distance in rear of the site of the work to stop and warn any train approaching
the affected area.
(2) No work involving removal of any rail from the track shall be undertaking without
traffic block, except as provided in sub-rule (3).
(3) In emergent cases, the engineering official not below the rank of permanent way
inspector grade III undertaking such operations shall first bring the train to stop and
advise the Loco Pilot of the train about the need to stop the train through a written
memorandum. The engineering official shall simultaneously arrange to send a message
to the Station Master for the need to block the track and obtain a written confirmation of
the same. In such emergent cases, works shall be commenced only after advising the Loco
Pilot and bringing the train to stop.
S.R.15.08/1. If the line where Automatic signalling is in use has to be blocked against traffic, the
Official-m-charge will clamp the special short circuiting device across the two outer copper wires of the
impendence bond at the entering end of the track where the work is in progress. This will put the
Automatic signal to 'On'. In addition to this a railway servant with detonators and hand signals must be

TSR31.
(i) Automatic and semi-permanent coupler - EMU stock is fitted with Schaku couplers of two types, i.e.
automatic couplers for coupling unit to unit and semi permanent couplers for coupling the coaches of
each unit. The units are coupled merely by bringing them together at a slower speed (between 3 to 5
KMPH). Both the automatic couplers should be in uncoupled position. While coupling the stationary
unit or coaches it should have, its brake on. While uncoupling the automatic coupler, uncoupling ropes
of both the couplers are pulled simultaneously and then the coaches are drawn apart.
It is, therefore, not necessary for the staff to go between the coaches during coupling operation.
While coupling inbetween coaches ofthe unit, adjustable cup sleeves of end 'A' type coupler are opened
by the handles provided on the semi-permanent coupler. Both the semi-permanent couplers are aligned
manually and then coupled together by tightening the cup sleeves. Note that both the semi-permanent
couplers, i.e. End 'A' and 'B' are aligned properly before coupling.
