What else is specified in the working timetable?

July 17, 2019, 1:27 PM

The working timetable has a lot of other operational details. It has the load table specifying what loads each kind of locomotive is allowed to haul on sections covered by the timetable. In addition to the schedules for trains including the make-up time, etc., as noted above, it sometimes has a crossing and precedence table that describes which trains cross (and where and when). (Many working timetables, however, include this information in the main sections along with the arrival and departure times at halts.)

A detailed list of speed restrictions is included for all route sections, describing allowed speeds for turnouts, curves, etc. There are also details of connections and detentions that specify which trains are to be held until another train arrives (an authorized detention) so that passengers can transfer from one to the other. There are entries specifying the engineering time allowance, or extra allowed delay, for each kind of construction work, signal & telecom work, etc. on the line.

Finally, there are extensive lists of level crossings, gates, medical and emergency facilities, telephone locations along the track, notice stations, overhead structures along the tracks, ruling gradients, maximum speeds for different kinds of stock, the signalling systems in use and types of interlocking for all routes, special working rules for ghat sections and particular operations (e.g., banking), and jurisdictional information.
