FOREWORD TO THIRD REPRINT TO IRPWM (2019)
The “Indian Railways Permanent Way Manual (IRPWM)” was fi rst published in the 
year 1986 and reprinted later in the years 1999 and 2004 to incorporate Advance 
Correction Slips issued to amend certain provisions in the Manual.
The previous reprint of the Manual in the year 2004 was in bilingual form (Hindi 
as well as English) and included Advance Correction Slips up to No. 93.  After this, 
there have been a number of Correction Slips issued and also designations of some 
of the offi cials as mentioned in the Manual have been revised (re-designated). It was, 
therefore, considered necessary to update the Manual and reprint it duly incorporating 
all changes, after previous reprint.
This revised edition incorporates all Advance Correction Slips up to No. 149 and is 
in bilingual form. Apart from being bilingual, separate Hindi & English editions is also 
being brought out so that Manual can be carried in fi eld easily. The hitherto obsolete 
designations have been done away with and current designations of offi cials have 
been incorporated, viz. Gangman as Track Maintainer, Permanent Way Supervisor/ 
Permanent Mistry (PWS/PWM) as JE(P.Way), PWI/PWI (In-charge) as JE/SSE(P.Way) 
Sectional; or SSE(P.Way) In-charge, as required/relevant.

It is expected that this updated Manual will be of immense use to the Permanent 
Way Personnel in easily accessing latest instructions related to track and thereby 
helping them in maintaining and upkeep of the track more effectively and effi ciently.

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.

in the seventies was first published in 1986. It has been decided to reprint the existing 
IRPWM updating the same by incorporating all the Advance Correction Slips issued so 
far (i.e. Advance Correction Slip Nos. 1 to 27). It is hoped that this updated manual will
