EDTC(R), EDME/Freight Railway Board JOINT PROCEDURE ORDER ON WAGON DAMAGES Sub: Prevention of damages to Wagons during loading/unloading operations over Indian Railways. KKKKK Zonal Railways are regularly reporting incidences of damage to wagons due to improper handling during loading/unloading operations. Wagon damages severely impact Railways’ transportation capacities. Wagon damages also result in:- a) Running of embedded empties in loaded rakes resulting in loss of revenue to railways. b) Arising of “C” Category unloadable wagons requiring additional movement for repairs, thereby raising additional cost of transportation to Workshop and cost. Cc) Additional cost of “C” Category repairs in open line and workshops. 2. Varying practices are being followed on the zonal railways regarding the punitive action to be taken to prevent damages to wagons and also recover the cost. This procedure is issued for ensuring strong and effective punitive action on all Zonal Railways so that wagon damages due to improper handling are checked. 3.1 Identification of Sidings/Goods sheds: Every Division must evolve a comprehensive database on terminal wise pattern of unloading and loading operations and type of handling equipment used. The database must have photographs of wagon handling infrastructure available at the terminals. Terminals with past history of shortcomings in handling infrastructure, where wagon damages are taking place or are likely to take place, need to be clearly identified so that the concerned terminal operators can be advised to take remedial steps. Such remedial action could vary from terminal to terminal. As an example, a typical case of remedial action against wagon body damages in loading operations could be, provision of guardrails longitudinally along the Jength of the loading line to prevent front-end loaders from ramming into the wagon body during loading. Similarly prevention of use of inappropriate mechanical unloading equipment which otherwise cause damages to wagons floors, body, etc. would constitute typically remedial action in mechanical unloading operations not involving tippling. The record/list of such sidings will be maintained by Sr.DME. 3.2 A committee comprising Sr. DOM, Sr. DME & Sr.DCM (or the concerned Branch Officer) of the division will jointly identify the locations/ sidings, located in their jurisdiction, where the extant wagon handling procedures are causing or are likely to cause damage to wagons. In this regard, instructions issued vide Board’s letter No. 2010/TT-IV/9/1 dated 08.10.2012 should also be taken into account while identifying such terminals. This identification exercise should be personally done by the न of the concerned Branch Officers every 6 months, or earlier, if required and re १ p> the terminal wise database should be 2 accordingly. The record/list of such sidings will be maintained by Sr.DME. 3.3 Regular checks (at least once in three months) should be conducted at such location
