FOREWORD TO SECOND REPRINT TO IRPWM (1986)

“Indian Railways Permanent Way Manual” was published in the


year 1986, as per the recommendations of the 49th Track Standards
Committee. Thereafter, it was reprinted in the year 1999, incorporating

Advance Correction Slip Nos. 1 to 27.

The present manual was issued in English only. It is now being

issued in diglot form ( Hindi as well as English ) for the first time. This

reprint incorporates Advance Correction Slips upto No. 93.

A Compact Diskette, containing the full content in PDF form has

also been attached to the back cover. This will facilitate the viewing
of the manual on a Personal Computer as well as for taking print, if
considered necessary.

It is hoped, that this updated manual will help the Permanent Way
men, in maintaining the track upto the prescribed standards.
