Question Answer On Signalling Engineer

Isolation is provided during train movement to ensure other rail vehicles on adjoining tracks do not roll down and interfere. Block overlap is extra track length in advance of a station that must be clear to give line clearance to the rear station. Minimum center-to-center track clearances are 4265mm for existing works and 5300mm for new works/additions to existing works per CS No. 9 dated 16.10.2012. OHE masts and signal posts should not be between tracks if possible, but the clearance must be increased by the width of any structure/foundation if located between tracks.

Isolation

During Movement of train we have to ensure that other rail vehicle from adjoining track should
not roll down and infringe with the movement so for this purpose we are providing isolation.

Block Overlap
It is extra length track in advance of FSS of a station which must be clear to give line clear to rear
station.

SOD
‘Existing works’ – The works which were existing before issue of SOD (2004 ).

‘New works’ – Include new constructions, additions of new lines/structure, gauge conversion
and doubling

MIN. DIST. C/C OF TRACK .

As per CS No.9 dated.16.10.2012

i) For existing works 4265 mm ii) For new works/additions

to existing works 5300 mm

Note: OHE mast and Signal post shall not preferably be provided in between tracks.
However, under unavoidable circumstances, the clearance shall be increased by equal to
width of such structure/foundation.

GAUGE
The gauge of the railway track is a clear minimum vertical distance between the inner sides
of two tracks is called railway gauge. That is, the distance between the two tracks on any
railway route is known as railway gauge.

Broad Gauge

Standard Gauge

Metre Gauge

Narrow Gauge

Railway Track Distance


distance from the centre line of nearest track to the proposed building is 21.60 metres and
the distance from the railway boundary to the proposed building is 1.60 metres and 2.39
metres only.

Toe of point
Clearance between toe of open switch and stock rail 115(Recommended) mm 95 mm(Mininmun)

Gradients are provided to negotiate the rise or fall in the level of the railway track

SWR

 The object of SWR is to regulate the safe working of traffic in and between
stations depending on the local conditions that exist at the station.
 The SWR is intended to draw attention of the staff concerned to the rules for
giving line clear, taking OFF signals, reception and dispatch of trains, working of level
crossing gates, shunting, stabling of vehicles on the running lines, etc. and also
instructions regarding working during failure of points, signals, interlocking,
communications etc.
 SWR should be self-contained, brief to the point and in unambiguous language.
 General and subsidiary rules and block working manual rules should not be
extracted in SWR. Relevant rule numbers of G & SR, block-working manual may be
mentioned.
 DSO, DSTE, and DEE are empowered to issue, modify SWR.
 SWR should be reviewed once in Five years or FIve amendment slips whichever
is earlier.
 All the staff required to take up independent duties at the stations shall sign a
declaration register to the effect that they have read and understood the SWR.
