Amendment to Opening Paragraphs of Chapter-I: General {At Page 4 of IRSOD subsequently revised vide ACS No. 25} Opening Paragraphs shalll be read as under: The DIMENSIONS, given in this Schedule-I have been classified. under two ‘heads namely for ‘Existing works "and for ‘New works’. Existing works means the works which were existing before issue of this Schedule of Dimensions (2004) and would help the field engineers to provide the information about previous dimensions followed at one place. ‘New works would include altogether new constructions, additions of new lines, new structures, gauge conversion and doubling. However, it does not include the works of alteration such as shifting of points and crossings, extension of siding, extension of loop line, alteration in building ete. The dimensions, except for existing works, are to be observed on all 1676 mm gauge on Indian Railways for execution of new works. Provided that infringement to any provision of IRSOD Chapter I, Il, IIl, V, VA & VB of Schedule I can be condoned by the Commissioner; provided further that infringement beyond the limits prescribed in Schedule Ul, if any, or wherever specific mentions appear in Schedule I, sanction for condonation shall be obtained from Railway Board through Commissioner/Chief Commissioner of Railway Safety. [See Diagram Nos. 1A, 1A (Modified), IB, 1C and 1D] Note: (1) Items 8 and 10 are applicable only to structures outside station yards. All other items are of general applicability. For running EMU and other 360mm Stock on existing works, clearances prescribed in items 13 of Chapter I “Tunnels, Through and Semi Through Girder Bridges” shall also be required for all structures governed by items 1, 7, 8 and 12 of this chapter and not only for tunnels, through and semi through girder bridges. IL. Amendment to Item 1, Schedule-I, Chapter II: Station Yards {At Page 10 of IRSOD subsequently revised vide ACS No. 26} Item I shall be read as under: 1 imum distance centre to centre on straight tracks (For existing works 4265mm (ii) For new works/addition to existing 5300mm works Note: (@) See Appendix for extra clearance required on curves. (b) ** deleted (©) In case new OHE masts/Signal posts are required to be provided in between tracks under unavoidable circumstances, the clearance maintained in I(ii) above shall be increased by equal to the width of such provisions/ structures/ foundations, as the case may be. (@ For “New Works/additions to existing works” in existing yard such as conversion of existing Joop lines into main line etc, if the stipulation mentioned in Page lof 4Tikely to be achieved due to field constraints, then minimum horizontal distance from center of ‘rack to any structure, as mentioned in Note (c) of Para 11(B) of Chapter-II, IRSOD-2004 shall bbe ensured. (©) In completely new yard or portion of existing yard, where “New Work” is being done independent of the existing yard, stipulation under (ii) above shall be ensured. (In case of tunnels, ROBs, flyovers, through & semi-through girder bridges, where centre to centre distance lesser than 5300mm has been provided, lesser centre to centre distance can be provided on approaches also up to adequate distance to facilitate gradual increase in centre to centre distance up to $300mm, % III. Amendment to Item 2, Chapter II: Station Yards {At Page 10 of IRSOD subsequently revised vide ACS No. 17} Item 2 shall be read as under: Maximum (Steepest) gradi special rules enforced to prevent a it in station yards, unless special safety devices are adopted and/or fents in accordance with approved special instructions. (i)For New Works & Alteration to Existing Works- (a) Recommended 1 im 1200(0.083%) (b) Maximum (Steepest) : 1 in 400 (0.25%) (ii) For Existing Works 1 in 400 (0.25%) Note: (a) Recommended dimension is generally the good practice, the adoption of which will lead to desirable uniformity on Indian Railways; but it is not to be treated as standards, a departure from which requires sanction. (b) Incase, it is not possible to provide recommended gradient of 1 in 1200 (0.083%) in yard even after making efforts to provide grades as flat as possible, reasons for deviation from recommended gradient and upto the specified maximum (steepest) gradient of 1 in 400 (0.25%) shall be recorded by the Zonal Railway. (©) No station yard shall be constructed nor shall any siding join a passenger line on a grade steeper ‘than 1 in 100 (0.10%), except where it is unavoidable and then also only with the previous sanction of Railway board, obtained through the Commissioner of Railway Safety, when adequate arrangements are made to prevent accident. (@ The powers of condonation for gradient steeper than the specified standard maximum gradient of 1 in 400 (0.25%) shall be as under: @ | Existing Yard: Steeper than 1 in 400 | Commissioner of Railway Safety (0.25%) and upto in 100 (0.10%) Steeper than 1 in 100 | Railway Board through Chief Commissioner of Railway (0.10%) Safety For New Yard in New Line Projects: Steeper than I in 400] Commissioner of Railway Safety (0.25%) and upto 1 in 260 (0.38%) | [Steeper than 1 in 260 | Railway Board through Chief Commissioner of Railway (0.38%) Safety Page 2 of 4 1707"(©) For above purpose, a station yard means — (® On single line to a distance of $0 meters beyond Stock Rail joint of outermost points at either end of the station. (ii) On double line where 2 aspect signaling is provided, from Home signal to a distance of 50 Gi (A) There must be no change of grades wit meters beyond Stock Rail joint of outermost points at the trailing end, or where there are no loops, to last stop signal of each line. On double line where multiple aspect signaling is provided to a distance of 50 meters beyond Stock Rail Joint of outermost points at either end of the station or where there are no loops, from Block Section Limit Board to last stop signal of each line. : : % 30 m of any points or crossings. : (8) In case of ‘New Lines’ projects, the above provisions shall also apply to Flag station, Halt station, or class ‘C” station (where there is no station section as defined in IR General Rules, 1976). This is to keep provision for conversion of Flag, Halt, or class ‘C” station into class ‘A’ or ‘B’ station in future. (h) For other than ‘New Lines’ projects, the above provisions shall not be applicable for Flag station, Halt station, or class *C’ station, IV. Amendment to Item 4, 5 & 6, Chapter II: Station Yards {At Page 12 of IRSOD subsequently revised vide ACS No. 22} Item 4, 5 & 6 shall be read as under: 4. Height above rail level for high passenger platforms 840mm maximum 760mm minimum 5. Maximum height above rail level for medium level passenger 455 mm platform 6. Maximum height above rail level for goods platforms (except 1065 mm horse and end loading platforms) ‘Note: For Items 4, 5 and 6 @ (b) © @ © © @ (a) Platforms may be flush with rail level. The ends of all platforms (except end loading platforms) must be ramped to a slope of 1 in 6 for a width of not less than 1 m from the face of the platform wall, the rest can either be ramped to the same slope or fenced. The height of platforms serving canted track should be measured vertically from the face toa plane passing through the top of both the rails. End loading platforms and platforms on sidings used exclusively for horse loading may be raised to a height of 129Smm above rail level. Signal wires or supports for signal wires may be allowed undemeath the platform coping. The length of a passenger platform should be not less than the length of the longest passenger train excluding the engine, booked to stop at the platform. ‘No passenger platform in case of new line, would be constructed on a curve having radius less than 875 m. In case of construction of a new platform on the existing line addition/alteration to existing platforms or in gauige conversion/doubling works, where either the new platform(s) are to be constructed or the old being dismantled and reconstructed, efforts Page 3 of 4 Pore case Segershould be made to ease out the existing curves having radii less than 875 m. However, for these works, having platform located/to be located on curves with radii less than 875 m, no condonation of CRS/Board would be necessary. () For item 4: the height of Mumbai suburban passenger platform and Pune suburban passenger platform may be in range of 840mm-900mm for reducing gap between bottom of sole bar of EMU coach & platform floor and shall be applicable for operation of EMU stocks having height of bottom of sole bar above rail level not less than 1039mm above rail level in fully loaded condition. The height of platform more than 840mm shall be permitted by General Manager, after ensuring maintenance condition of track and maintenance condition of rolling stock as under: 4 (Improvement in maintenance practices and monitoring condition of spring during trip inspection of EMU rakes. Gi) Improvement in track maintenance on platform lines to the standards specified in Para 607(2) of IRPWM. ii) Improved monitoring and corrective action to control sinkage of vertical level of track. (iv) In case, a new design EMU stock different from the existing stock is to be introduced on suburban section, running trial over increased height suburban platforms shall be required before clearing the stock for passenger operation. V.
