Para - 5, 17, 19, 20, 23, 24 & 25 shall be read as under :

5. Maximum thickness of flange of tyre, measured from wheel 29.4mm

gauge face at 13mm from outer edge of flange

17. Maximum distance apart of bogie centres for bogie vehicles 14900mm

19. Maximum length of body or roof for :

(a) 4 - wheeled vehicle 8540mm

(b) Bogie vehicles 21340mm

Note :
(i) Maximum length of body or roof of bogie vehicles can be upto 23540mm, subject to
tapering of the ends in a manner that the end throw, when calculated as per
Appendix, is same as that for ICF coach of 21340mm length and within this Schedule
of Dimensions.
(ii) A cornice may project beyond the maximum permissible length of the roof up to 51mm
in the case of (a) above, beyond each end of the vehicle.
(iii) .Fittings on the end of a vehicle, such as step iron, vacuum brake piping, electrical
connections, vestibule etc., need not be kept within the prescribed maximum
permissible lengths for bodies of vehicles, but may project beyond the end of the
body to a reasonable extent.

20. Maximum length over centre buffer couplers or side buffers :

(a) 4 – wheeled vehicle 9810 mm

(b) Bogie vehicles 22300 mm

Note : Maximum length over the centre buffer couplers or side buffers can be 24000mm
for Bogie Vehicles, having maximum length of body or roof as 23540mm. However,
the maximum length over the centre buffer couplers or side buffers for longer
coaches as per Item 20 above shall be so arranged that difference between length
over side buffers and length of body or roof is not less than 460mm.

23. Maximum width over all projections, at 305mm above rail 3050mm
level, when fully loaded
24. Maximum width over all projections from 305mm above 3050mm
rail level, to 1082mm above rail level, when fully loaded
25. Maximum width over all projection from 1082mm above 3050mm increasing
rail level, to 1170mm above rail level, when fully loaded gradually to 3250mm

Note : For freight bogie vehicles with maximum length of body or roof upto 14500mm and
bogie centre distance upto 10000mm, maximum width over all projections from 305mm
above rail level to 1082mm above rail level, when fully loaded, can be relaxed to
3135mm instead of 3050mm

11.B Maximum length over centre buffer couplers or side buffers 22300mm

Note : (i) Maximum length of body or roof can be upto 23540mm, subject to tapering of
the ends in a manner that the end-throw, when calculated as per Appendix, is
same as that for ICF coach of 21340mm length and within this Schedule of
Dimensions.

(ii) Maximum length over the centre buffer couplers or side buffers for bogie
vehicles can be 24000mm for locomotives, having maximum length of body or
roof of 23540mm.

11.C Maximum width over all projections :

(i) At 102mm above rail level, when fully loaded 2440mm

(ii) At 305mm above rail level, when fully loaded 3050mm

(iii) From 305mm above rail level to 1082mm above rail level, 3050mm
when fully loaded

(iv) From 1082mm above rail level to 1170mm above rail level, 3050mm increasing
when fully loaded gradually to 3250mm
(v) From 1170mm above rail level, when fully loaded, to a 3250mm
height of 3735mm when empty
Note : (i) Maximum width over all projections from 925mm (minimum in all conditions)
above rail level to 1082mm above rail level, when fully loaded can be 3075mm (in
the bogie portion only).
(ii) Maximum distance apart of bogie centres (i.e. pivot centres) for locomotives
shall be 15810mm, subject to the condition that width of locomotive at the
