OVER-DIMENSIONAL CONSIGNMENTS

Standard Moving Dimensions

Schedule of Dimensions provides for certain standard moving dimensions which govern the construction of rolling stock

OVER-DIMENSIONAL CONSIGNMENTS (ODC)

Dimensions of which when loaded on wagons, exceed the standard moving dimensions Movement under certain restrictions : Speed, during day or night, depending on minimum clearance available to fixed structures on the route.

Net and Gross clearances

Net clearance= Gross clearance -75mm for bounces in vertical direction

ODCs Classification

Class A :

Permitted out of gauge loads ; net clearance:

6 and above

Movement

Civil

Day and night. 40 kmph (BG) Unrestricted speed

Military

Class B :

Exceptional out of gauge loads ; net clearances : 3

and above but are less than 6

Movement: Civil:

40 kmph (BG) Day only. Night movement also permitted with Train escort

Military:

C Class

Class C :

Extraordinary out of gauge loads ; net

clearances: < 3 With restriction of stop dead and proceed dead slow at structures having most restricted clearance. Train is to be piloted by official of the Mech. Department.

CRS SANCTION

Indian Railway Act- 1989

Chap VI- Section 20

Approval of CRS is necessary for execution of any work on open Line which will affect running of trains

Except in case of emergency

WORKS FOR WHICH CRSS SANCTION NOT REQUIRED

Realigning curves. Lubrication of joints. Painting of Girders Renewal of points & crossing involving no modification in lay out. Rail & sleeper renewal

OPEN LINE WORKS REQUIRING SANCTION OF COMMISIONER OF RAILWAY SAFETYS

Additions or Alterations to running lines. Electric traction installations Provision of New stations Provision of foot over bridge across the tracks. New Bridges or extensions of existing ones New level crossing in running lines Carriage of O.D.C. having gross clearance less than 6. Any work involving infringement to S.O.D.

New lines

No new Railway Line can be opened for public carriage of passengers without obtaining CRS sanction. No sanction is necessary for opening of new lines to goods traffic.

Line considered fit for opening when

All the works required for running of train has been completed and commissioned Staff required for operating new line posted Track thoroughly packed and boxed throughout Permanent maintenance gangs are distributed along definite sections.

Application

14 days before expected commencement of work For new lines, 1 month before opening of the section.

Inspection by CRS

A week before opening date. Will recommend one of the following Railways be opened unconditionally Railways be opened subject to certain stated restrictions Opening of the railways to be postponed until certain stated conditions have been fulfilled.
