Sub: Definition of a Block Rake’

Western Railway, referring to an objection raised by their Aucit sought Board's clarification in regard to the definition of the term "Black Rake" used in Board's various communications.
Its clarified that the term 'Block Rake’ means >

“Arrake which moves as a train ftom an originating station(s) to the destination station(s), without any remarshalling of wagons during the journey except for detachment of sick wagons, either at the originating or
destination station, or during the journey. ‘Block Rake’ shall also include rakes laaded from one originating station to ४ combination of two or three destination points or 2 rake loaded fram @ combination of two
‘riginating points to 8 single destination. The system of charging freight has no relationship ta the concept of ‘Block Rake’, as the same will depend upon the commodity and satisfaction of other conditions for grant of
twain-load benefit. Thus, a'Block Rake’ wil necessarily not be a rake on which freight is charged at 'rain-load’ class but could also include movements of a rake at wagon load class:
