    • Applications for running new types of locomotives or rolling stock, or increasing the maximum permissible speed, should follow the procedure prescribed in Policy Circular No. 6.
    • The application should be made to the Commissioner of Railway Safety for sanctioning.

    Notification to Railway Officials
