Front Back Distance of Distance of

S.No Yard Signal Mast Mast Signal from Signal from Reason
Location Location Front Mast Front Mast
Distance of 30m in front of the signal S4
location approved in Signalling Plan No.
IPU.2493A from the respective OHE Masts
could not be maintained due to obligatory
structure of OHE, culvert no. 99A and
1 CCA S4 190/7 CCA/1051 19m 10m sectioning arrangement for creation of insulated
overlap in down main line. The OHE span is
restricted to 31.5 meters for OHE termination
for UP loop line and 40.5 meters for IOL in DN
main line.
To modify existing IOL of DN main Line into
UIOL span was considered as 58.5m.Thus,
distance of 30m in front of the signal S37
location approved in Signalling Plan No.
IPU.2492/Alt.1 from the respective OHE Masts
2 ZPL S37 198/34 198/36 13m 11m could not be maintained as front mast of signal
