Study Notes
Loading of Goods
- Securing Traffic: Train loads and wagon loads should be optimized to maximize output. Loading wagons to full capacity is the goal, considering permissible axle loads. Station masters and commercial staff should ensure maximum wagon utilization.
Turn-round of Stock
- Turnaround time: The time between loading and the next available reloading of a wagon. All delays in the process (loading, dispatch, transit, unloading) affect the turnaround time. Shorter turnaround times mean fewer vehicles needed. Commercial staff should manage loading/unloading processes efficiently.
Loading/Unloading of Goods at Non-Sheds
- Restrictions: Loading/unloading outside goods sheds requires prior approval from the Divisional Commercial Superintendent. This is standard practice.
Placement and Release Memos
- Placement Memos: When empty wagons are placed for loading, a placement memo, in duplicate, is created, detailing wagon specifics. The memo is filed in serial order and forms the basis for wagon transfer records.
- Release Memos: After loading, a corresponding release memo, also in duplicate, is prepared, detailing loaded wagons ready for removal. This memo is filed, and its copy is kept as record.
Placing Wagons for Loading
- Instructions: Procedures outlined in paragraph 925 apply for recording dates/times for placing wagons in loading positions and returning loaded wagons. Demurrage charges and related matters also follow set guidelines.
Wagon Selection for Loading
- Wagon Condition: Before loading, wagons must be cleaned and dried. Damaged wagons should not be used. Items that could be damaged by water should not be loaded into a non-watertight wagon.
Precautions for Loading Wagons
- Securing: Doors and windows must be securely fastened before loading begins.
- Gaps: Items prone to pilferage should be loaded at least 18" (46cm) from the wagon doors.
- Damage Prevention: Packages should be loaded to avoid tilting or damage during transit, heavy items first. Items should be securely tied down or placed properly in the wagon.
- Incompatible Items: Don't mix goods that could damage each other (e.g., perishables and grease).
Loading of Damageable Goods
- Rainy Season: Damageable goods are not to be loaded in open wagons during the rainy season.
- Protection: Protective measures like tarpaulins may be required for fragile items, depending on distances during transit.
Loading Procedures
- Employee Responsibility: Trained staff, under supervision, is responsible for handling damageable or fragile goods. Loading/unloading staff must adhere to instructions, and should be aware of handling risks.
Tally Books
- Outward Goods: When loading, a tally book (Form Com. T-1 Rev.) details package numbers and other essential details for every wagon. Records must be accurate during loading and unloading.
- Bulk Goods: Overall dimensions of large packages (maximum weights and sizes) should be noted and approved before loading.
Special Procedures
- Special Labels: When commodities may be especially delicate, multiple labels may be necessary for identification, safety, and clarity, during loading and transit.
- Excessive Loading: Ensure the load on wagons is evenly distributed to avoid damage to axles or springs.
- Crane Usage: Requests for cranes must be documented. Charges for crane usage are documented for payment.
Loading of Explosives and Hazardous Materials
- Specific Procedures: Special procedures apply to explosives, sensitive materials, and regulated substances. Specific labels and extra handling precautions are required to ensure the safety of personnel and the integrity of the materials.
Riveting Procedure
- Responsibility: Station masters are responsible for checking that loaded wagons are properly riveted following the appropriate procedures. There are exceptions where riveting is not required based on the contents and type of wagon.
- Inspection: Inspectors of Traffic and Commercial Departments and Protection Force should inspect the process.
Sealing Procedure
- Types: Wax seals or wire lead seals.
- Responsibility: Station Master is responsible for seal custody.
- Inspections and Reporting: Guards and other personnel are responsible for sealing inspections of items during transit, including checking for damages to seals.
Transshipment
- Separate Procedures: Separate procedures apply during transshipment at break-of-gauge stations. Tally books for these cases are kept separately.
