Seed In order to improve the utilization of the rolling stock, and help the customers in prompt clearance of freight trains from their sidings/ terminals, the ‘Engine-on-Load’ Scheme is now being introduced afresh. Under the ‘EOL’ operations, the train engine will remain available during loading or unloading operation in the siding and wait on Railway’s account so as to work the train immediately after loading/unloading operation is completed. This will be in supersession of all earlier instructions on the above mentioned subject. The siding holders will be required to opt for the EOL operations under an agreement with the zonal railway administration as per the terms and conditions of the ‘Engine-on-Load” operations, as given in the following paragraphs. Eligibility All new sidings while obtaining Rail Transport Clearance (RTC) will be brought under ‘EOL’ operations. The party should also develop facilities for loading and unloading on ‘Engine-on-Load’ concept and design yard layouts to facilitate the same. ‘Engine-on-Load’ would mean loading or unloading in such manner and within such time as would permit clearance of the same rake by the same engine. ye Page 1 of 4 9.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 6.0 Permissible Free Time Free time for loading and unloading operations under the ‘EOL’ will be lower than the normal free time so as to minimize detention to the wagons and the waiting period of the locomotives. The free time in case of terminals on ‘EOL’ system are governed by Rates Circular No.23 of 2012 (as amended from time to time). With the withdrawal of TIELS, it has been decided vide Rates Circular No. 23 of 2012 to incorporate the free time rules for sidings worked on Engine-on-Load basis, in the Rates Circular No.74 of 2005 by adding a new Para 2.5. Free time for loading/unloading of various types of block rakes in the case of sidings worked on ‘Engine-on-Load (EOL)’ basis : Type of rake EOL free time (in hours:minutes) Loading Unloading 3:00 i 5:00 3:00 2:00 Open Rake (BOXN etc.) Hopper Rake (BOBR etc.) | 6000 | 6:00 Covered Rake (BCN etc.) 5:00 5:00 A. | Tank Rake (BTPN etc.) The free time mentioned above will be reckoned for loading/ unloading of rakes from their placement to release. If at any terminal, additional shunting time etc. is permissible at present (for example, from exchange yard to siding and back), the same would continue.” The following provisions will apply for sidings operating under ‘EOL’ Scheme 2013: Exemption from Engine Hire charges If a siding holder requires to utilize the train engine during loading or unloading of the rake, within the free time prescribed, the same will be allowed without levying any additional charges. The siding owner may, therefore, not be required to maintain a captive engine at his cost under the ‘EOL’ operations. Beyond the free time Engine hire charges shall be charged as per extant rules. asa Page 2 of 4 6.2 6.3 7.0 8.0 8.1 8.2 8.3 8.4 Exemption from Siding Charges For the bulb type sidings freight will be charged on the basis of through distance upto a specified loading or unloading point and not for the entire length of
