(i) RDSO letter no. MW/SPD/BG dated16.05.2025 
(ii) Railway board Letter no. 2018/M(N)/172/1 dated 29.11.2024 
(iii) CCRS letter no. M.2015/M(N)/2017-18/TW dated 07.11.2024 
(iv) Railway Board letter no. 2014/TT-1/RDSO/33/03 dated 01.04.2025 
 
CCRS vide reference (iii) had raised specific concerns regarding different speeds under 
various loading conditions and multiple combinations of speeds over IR and DFCCIL 
and recommended categorisation of wagons under limited categories of speed. 
In continuation of letter under reference (iv), it has been decided to categorise wagons 
listed in Annexure-I of this letter into four standard speeds viz. 45 kmph, 60 kmph, 75 
kmph, and 100 kmph. Zones are required to issue guidelines on this basis of the 
attached table as per approved JSC in their respective Zones. The wagons in the same 
speed and same functional group should ordinarily be used for rake formation for 
ensuring purity of speed and functionality. This list is liable to be revised as and when 
any higher speed revision of wagons is notified. 
All speeds are subject to permanent and temporary restrictions imposed by the 
concerned Zone. 
This has the approval of M(T&RS) and M(O&BD).
