BLOCK WORKING MANUALS

The Block Working Manuals pertaining to single line / token, token less and double line incorporating the procedures and practices to be followed for working of trains were last published in 1978. With phasing out of some token/token less block instruments and changes in certain rules updating of these Manuals has become necessary. This has now been done by bringing out the Block Working Manuals – singleline- token / token less and double line.

The three Block Working Manuals are kept in one book itself. Every Railway servant supplied with Block Working Manuals must make himself thoroughly acquainted with the rules enumerated therein and he will be responsible for knowledge of and compliance with all the rules concerning his working.

These Manuals are to be read in conjunction with the General and Subsidiary Rules and nothing herein shall be treated as modifying or amending the General and Subsidiary Rules.

Amendment to the Block Working Manuals will be issued in the form of page replacement and it is the responsibility of the staff to whom these Manuals are supplied to keep them up-to-date. It is hoped that the procedures and practices envisaged in these Manuals will help the staff in carrying out their duties efficiently and safely.
