Sub: Loading of Wagons
Ref: Para 1508 of Indian Railway Commercial Manual Vol.II

An instance has come to the notice of Board about uneven loading in a wagon.

As per Para 1508 of Indian Railway Commercial Manual Vol.II, “(a) Wagons must be evenly
loaded so that load bears equally on all springs, No overloading beyond the marked, increased or
restricted carrying capacity is to be allowed (b) If weighment facilities are not available at the station,
whether the wagon is excessively or unevenly loaded should be checked by a visual inspection of springs
and axle guards of the wagon. Load lines marked on wagons are also helpful in ensuring that loose
commodities like coal, ballast, etc. are not overloaded."

Zonal Railways are advised to scrupulously follow the extant guidelines and in addition, conduct
random checks of wagons at loading points to ensure even loading in the wagons.
