2 C C1 C1/1* C1/2* C1/3* C1/4* PREPARATION OF FREIGHT TRAINS Principles of Safe Operation of Freight Trains The following information must be ascertained before any freight train is allowed to commence its journey:- (a) Train length (b) Train weight (c) Route availability (d) Maximum speed (e) Brake force Train length, excluding that of the locomotive and brake van, will be expressed in metres or SLU s, and must not exceed the length limit for any part of the line. Assisting locomotives are to be assessed as 20 metres or 3 SLU s. The length limits for lines, or portions of line should be obtained from each Railtrack Zone. These limits may be shown in SLU s. A chart is included in Table A of this Working Manual, for conversion of SLU s, Feet and Metres. The weight of the train, must not exceed the permitted load for the locomotive type and the line(s):- (a) the train weight is the gross laden weight (in tonnes) of each vehicle making up the train, including the weight of the locomotive and the weight of any brake van (b) the maximum weight which can be hauled by various types of locomotive(s) and details of any weight restrictions by line is published by each Railtrack Zone. The Route Availability (RA) of vehicles and locomotives, or axle loading in the case of vehicles consigned to a destination on the continent, must not exceed the RA number for the route(s) over which the train is to run:- (a) the RA figure for the various routes or parts of a route over which a train is to run must be obtained from the Railtrack Zones concerned Page C2 Freight Train Operations Working Manual for Rail Staff

3 (b) (c) (d) N.B. the RA figure for each type of vehicle may be obtained from the TOPS system if the route RA figure is exceeded, each movement must be authorised by the issue of an Exceptional Load form RT3973HAW - see Section D the system for Route Availability on the continent is different from that applied in the United Kingdom. Train Operating Companies will provide instructions to their staff on load limits to points on continental railways. Movement of wagons to and from the continent whilst on Railtrack controlled infrastructure is subject to the instructions above. Route Availability 10 is shown on a TOPS Train List as '0'. C1/5* C1/6* The maximum speed at which a freight train may run is determined by the lowest permissible speed of any vehicle making up the train, subject to compliance with any emergency, temporary, or permanent speed restrictions. The maximum speed of a train may need to be reduced following:- (a) Inspection by a competent person in which case the revised maximum speed must be endorsed on a 'For Repairs' or 'Urgent Repair/Restricted Speed' label (b) Inspection of a load by a competent person in which case the revised maximum speed must be endorsed on an Exceptional Load label. When the maximum speed of a freight train is reduced following either of these circumstances, the competent person must advise the AFC and Railtrack Zone Control. (c) The maximum speed of any wagon is contained in the TOPS wagon files for wagons registered by Railtrack. Certain International wagons may have their maximum speeds reduced for British conditions, in which case TOPS will show the revised figures. A train must have sufficient Brake Force to meet the requirements of Tables E1 or E2. The total brake force of the train is the brake force of each vehicle with operative automatic brakes including the locomotive(s). Working Manual for Rail Staff Freight Train Operations Page C3

4 C1/7 The checks set out in Sections C1/2 - C1/5 will be carried out automatically when a TOPS Train List is produced. The operational data for the train is summarised at the bottom of the Train List. As the TOPS computer, having produced a Train List, cannot check whether certain instructions have been observed it may also generate certain WARNING or REJECTION messages. C1/8* C1/9* The person responsible for train preparation at the point of departure must act as required by these messages and undertake a physical check of the train, to ensure that it conforms in every respect to Sections C2/1 - C2/5, before it is allowed to depart. If a TOPS produced Train List is not available the information set out in Sections C1/2 - C1/6 must be obtained. The information must be calculated by the person responsible for train preparation in accordance with Section C3 of this Working Manual. Page C4 Freight Train Operations Working Manual for Rail Staff

5 C2 C2/1* C2/2* Duties of the Train Preparer when a TOPS Produced Train List is Available at the time of Train Preparation The person responsible for train preparation must check the Train List against the actual formation of the train, ensuring the following aspects are complied with. Any discrepancies must be corrected:- (a) the sequence of the vehicles as shown on the Train List conforms to the actual sequence as marshalled (b) each vehicle number on the Train List conforms with the actual number on the vehicle. If there is any doubt about a wagon number, that shown on the wagon must be used (c) (d) (e) (f) automatic brake equipment is coupled correctly throughout the train and any Goods/Passenger changeover levers are in their correct position. Vehicle couplings are in their correct position. All wagons must have any Empty/Loaded levers in the correct position - see section D7 of this Working Manual 'Crippled' wagons, including those with brakes isolated are correctly shown on the Train List the load of the train agrees with or is lower than the authorised load for the intended route or part of the route, as published by each Railtrack Zone where Dangerous Goods are being conveyed, the information shown on the wagon/container placards conforms to the information on the Train List. The Train Preparer must ensure that a revised Train List is issued when:- (a) the locomotive is removed and replaced by one of a different class (b) the number of locomotives is altered (c) any vehicle is attached/detached (d) a train is remarshalled (e) any vehicle(s), after examination, becomes 'crippled' and may still travel. Working Manual for Rail Staff Freight Train Operations Page C5

6 C2/3* If the actual length of the train shown on the Train List/Drivers Slip is greater than the authorised length limit, the Train Preparer must reduce the length unless special arrangements are agreed with the Railtrack Zone(s) concerned. N.B. TOPS does not check the actual length of a train against permitted length. C2/4* C2/5* C2/6* When a Train List contains WARNING or REJECTION messages the Train Preparer must take action as necessary. From the printed information, the Train Preparer must complete the Train List /Drivers Slip as follows:- (a) enter the figure for 'brake force available'. This figure must not be less than the brake force printed for the actual load (b) indicate 'single piped from' (c) fill in the 'date'. When all of the conditions shown in paragraphs C2/1 - C2/5 above have been met, a check must be made to ensure that the requirements of the Rule Book, Section H (Part i) have been carried out. The Train Preparer, must then sign the Train List/Drivers Slip, print his name and the name of his Company, and hand it to the Train Driver. (If a Train is worked by two Locomotives in tandem a copy must be given to both Drivers). Page C6 Freight Train Operations Working Manual for Rail Staff

7 C3 C3/1* C3/2* C3/3* C3/4* Duties of the Train Preparer when a TOPS produced Train List is NOT available at the time of Train Preparation This Section details the actions required to produce a Train List manually when the TOPS system and/or the associated communications systems have failed or are unavailable. Every effort must be made to use alternative communications links/equipment, where available, before resorting to manual methods. Assistance available from another AFC Providing the loaded/empty status of the vehicles concerned can be confirmed and verbal or fax communication exists between the location where the train is being prepared and an AFC, they must be requested to assist in producing a Train List. If the AFC can assist the following details must be passed to it:- (a) train reporting number and departure/calling/destination points (b) (c) (d) particulars of the vehicles to be included in the train type of brake in use locomotive number and class. When the above method of train preparation is used a Train List must be obtained by the assisting AFC. It must be sent e.g. by fax, to an agreed location, so that it can be checked by the Train Preparer, or other competent person, against the actual composition of the train. Alternatively the main details of the Train List must be read over a phone or radio link to the Train Preparer so that he can carry out the necessary checks. These checks must be completed before the train can be allowed to depart. C3/5* 'WARNING' or 'REJECTION' messages are produced by the TOPS system to draw attention to certain important items. The Train Preparer must ensure that the train conforms to all relevant instructions in the Working Manual for Rail Staff and other operating standards and publications. Working Manual for Rail Staff Freight Train Operations Page C7

8 C3/6* Assistance NOT available from another AFC The information required for assessing the train must be obtained for each locomotive and vehicle on the train. Where Intermodal services are concerned the processes in the ERIC system (or system with a similar function) leading up to the production of a Train List must be followed unless, like TOPS, it is unavailable. When assistance is not available from an AFC or any other source, the manual methods of calculation, set out in this section must be used. Train Operating Companies are responsible for ensuring that they have arrangements in place for the availability of up-to-date details of regularly used vehicles which can be used should this situation arise. C3/7* Length (a) Vehicles and trains are measured in terms of metres and Standard Length Units (SLU's). One SLU = 6.4 metres (21 ft). Vehicles longer than a Standard Length Unit have their excess length calculated in tenths of a unit (ELU). If the length of a train is calculated using the Standard Length Unit method, the excess lengths (ELU's) must be totalled for the train and divided by ten, and the result, to the next higher whole number, added to the number of Standard Length Units. For international trains the length must also be stated in metres. N.B. The length of the locomotive and any brake van must not be included, except when the train is hauled by more than one locomotive. In this case, each additional locomotive must be counted as 20 metres of 3 SLU's. (b) Where no indication of length is available for a particular vehicle, reference should be made to the following table:- Page C8 Freight Train Operations Working Manual for Rail Staff

10 C3/8* Weight Where the actual weight of a vehicle is not known, the following methods must be used:- * (a) Loaded Vehicles Add the weight of the contents (where known) to the vehicle tare weight to obtain the Gross Laden Weight. Where the weight of the contents is not known, add the carrying capacity and the tare weight of the wagon together to obtain the Gross Laden Weight. (b) (c) (d) Empty Vehicles The tare weight should be used for empty, runner, barrier and 'discharged' wagons. N.B. If it is not possible to determine whether a vehicle is loaded or empty then it must be assumed to be fully loaded. Coaching Stock The 'plated' weight must be used. Locomotives The weight must be taken from the panel which will be found on the side of locomotives - see example below Class 47 Weight 117 Brake Force 60 RA 6 Max Speed 95 When more than one dead locomotive is being hauled the information on the weight panels must be added together when calculating the train weight. N.B. All weights must be expressed in tonnes and rounded up to the next whole number. The maximum weight for a particular train must not exceed the limits published by Railtrack Zones, for the routes over which the train is to operate. Page C10 Freight Train Operations Working Manual for Rail Staff

11 C3/9* Route Availability (RA) Where the RA of a vehicle is not known it must be assessed by reference to the weight per axle in tonnes, as follows:- (a) Loaded vehicles The plated carrying capacity of the vehicle should be added to its tare weight. (b) Empty vehicles The plated tare weight of the vehicle. Reference must then be made to Table C2, which gives the RA figure for each vehicle to be used, except the following types of vehicles in the loaded state. The actual RA figure shown is to be used:- Two-axle vehicles RA KNA 10 Four-axle vehicles RA RA BNX 10 YJX 7 BVW 10 YMA 7 BWA 10 YOP 7 IRB 8 YOB 10 JIB 8 YPA 7 KYA 7 YRP 7 YBA 7 YVR 7 YFA 7 YVQ 8 YHA 7 YVP 7 YJV 9 YXR 9 C3/10* Maximum Speed When the TOPS system is not available all freight vehicles must be regarded as having a maximum speed of 45 mph, except for those wagon types listed below. Only where there is clear evidence that a wagon is permitted to operate at a maximum speed above 45 mph, may it be allowed to do so. Train Operating Companies are responsible for making the necessary arrangements to ensure that staff have up-to-date Working Manual for Rail Staff Freight Train Operations Page C11

12 information on the maximum permissible speeds of wagons they operate, for use when the TOPS system is not available.

The figures for each vehicle must be added together to obtain the total Brake Force for the whole train. The figure for the locomotive(s) can be found on the locomotive side panel. The information must then be checked against Table E1 to ensure that the load is within the stated limits. If it does not conform to Table E1, then either the weight of the train and/or its maximum speed must be reduced. N.B. This requirement does not apply to MGR trains. See Section E3 of this Working Manual. Page C12 Freight Train Operations Working Manual for Rail Staff

13 C3/12* Manual Train List/Drivers Slip When all the information has been obtained either by the methods outlined in C3/6 - C3/11, and/or from other valid sources, a Manual Train List/Drivers Slip must be prepared showing:- (a) train service identity number and destination (b) the number and class of the locomotive(s) (c) formation of the train from the locomotive (d) authorised maximum load of the train (e) actual load of the train (f) minimum brake force required in tonnes (g) actual brake force available in tonnes, and whether Vacuum or Air (h) the route availability for the route (i) highest RA vehicle in the train (j) actual number of vehicles (k) authorised length limit (l) actual length of the train (m) maximum speed of the train (n) indication of from where the train is single piped (o) particulars of dangerous goods and their position in the train. When the requirements of section C1 of this Working Manual and Section H (Part i) of the Rule Book have been carried out, the Train Preparer may complete the Drivers Slip by signing it, printing their name, date and Company. (If a train is worked by two locomotives in tandem, a copy must be given to both Drivers). Working Manual for Rail Staff Freight Train Operations Page C13

14 C4 C4/1* Preparation of Vehicles Intended for Movement from Engineering Work Sites The following requirements apply to any vehicle loaded or empty formed in a train intended for movement from an engineering work site. When work has been completed, the person responsible for loading or unloading must record the status e.g. loaded, empty or 'carded' for repair, of each vehicle on a 'Certificate of Readiness (Engineering Work Site)', see C4/5 for specimen of a certificate. The certificate, completed in duplicate, must be signed by the Engineering Supervisor responsible for the work site. Completion of the certificate will indicate that the vehicle(s) meets the requirements for safe handover of traffic as follows:- (a) doors are fully closed and secured (b) fixed and loose equipment is properly stowed and secured (c) traffic is loaded and secured according to requirements (d) loose material and debris has been cleared from the load, wagon frames and body sides (e) Engineers self propelled on track machines and power driven rail cranes have been prepared for travel in accordance with section D of this Working Manual. C4/2* Any vehicle(s) which become damaged and or defective during unloading or loading must be identified on the certificate. Vehicles found to be defective must be dealt with according to the requirements of Section B and F of this Working Manual. C4/3* C4/4* Vehicles conveying 'Load Examined' traffic and/or 'Exceptional Loads', (see section D5 of this Working Manual), must be inspected by a competent person and the appropriate label attached. One copy of the completed Certificate of Readiness must be handed to the person responsible for train preparation who must carry out the requirements detailed in C1, C2 or C3 of this Working Manual where appropriate.

17 C5 C5/1* C5/2* C5/3* C5/4* Duties of the Train Crew A train must not be allowed to start its journey until the Driver has received a completed Driver s Slip, and (or the Guard, where applicable) a completed Train List which must be signed by the Train Preparer. The Driver must ensure that:- (a) that the weight of the train is within the permitted load of the locomotive for the intended route (b) that the Brake Force is in accordance with Table E1 or Table E2. The Driver must ensure that the maximum speed of his train does not exceed the maximum speed shown on the Driver s Slip, as well as obeying any other temporary or permanent speed restrictions which may be in force on the line of route. If, due to adverse weather conditions, the Driver considers that the train cannot be worked safely, appropriate arrangements must be made to reduce the weight of the train. The Train Preparation Form/ Train List must be amended accordingly and the Driver must report the circumstances either to the person in charge of the location, to the Train Company Control or to the nearest AFC. At the termination of each journey all documentation must be handed in to the Yard/Terminal staff or where this is not possible, placed behind the label clip of the wagon which will be leading on departure:- (a) when a train is scheduled to reverse during the journey, two train lists must be provided; one for the outward journey and one for the return journey following reversing. The second Drivers Slip must only be completed after the reversing train has been prepared (b) when a train is worked by two locomotives in tandem each Driver must be in possession of a completed Driver s Slip. Working Manual for Rail Staff Freight Train Operations Page C17

18 C6 Duties of Area Freight Centre Staff C6/1 AFCs should arrange for a Train List to be produced well before scheduled train departure time so that the necessary checks can be undertaken without leading to any delay. C6/2* C6/3* The AFC must bring to the attention of the person responsible for Train Preparation, the details shown at the bottom of the Train List so that action can be taken with regard to any 'REJECTION messages. A Train List must be produced for every train. Irrespective of whether it can be issued directly to the Train Crew prior to departure (e.g. remote loading point) the AFC staff must undertake a check that the train is correctly formed and is safe to depart. If necessary where a yard/siding is unstaffed the person nominated by the Train Operating Company must be contacted to resolve any outstanding matters concerning the safety of the train. Page C18 Freight Train Operations Working Manual for Rail Staff

19 C7 C7/1* Assisted Train Loads Diesel Traction Except where specific maximum loads are given for trains assisted in front or rear, the following will apply:- In front - (including weight of assisting locomotive) (a) the total load for two locomotives of the same class working in multiple or tandem to be twice the load of the single locomotive, provided that this does not exceed the highest load for any single* locomotive on the route (b) the total load for two locomotives of different classes working in multiple or tandem to be the load of the more powerful locomotive plus half the load of the less powerful locomotive, provided that this does not exceed the highest load for any single* locomotive on the route. * This does not include Class 59 or 60 locomotives. In Rear (excluding weight of assisting locomotives) (a) for two locomotives of the same class, the total load to be the load of the leading locomotive plus two thirds of the load of the assisting locomotive (b) C7/2 Electric Traction for two locomotives of different classes, the total load to be the load of the more powerful locomotive plus half the load of the less powerful locomotive. Loads for electrically hauled trains with assisting locomotives are published by Railtrack Zones. Working Manual for Rail Staff Freight Train Operations Page C19

20 C8 C8/1* Additional Instructions in respect of Driver Only (DO) Freight Trains The Train List/Driver s Slip must be conveyed by the Driver. If a Guard is provided for any part of the journey the Train List must be obtained from the Driver working the train, and on completion of the guards journey, it must be handed back to the Driver who will continue forward. All documents must be handed in to the Yard/Terminal staff at the termination point of the train or where this is not possible, placed behind the label clip of the wagon which will be leading on departure. C8/2 Certain classes of Dangerous Goods, listed in GO/RM3053 Working Manual 'Pink Pages', are not permitted to be conveyed in DO freight trains. C8/3 For DO freight trains, when all the conditions for conveyance have been complied with, and an Exceptional Load Form RT3973/- has been issued to cover one of the circumstances listed below, the train may be allowed to depart without the need for further authority. (a) Heavy Axle Weight Vehicles i.e. where the RA of a route will be exceeded (b) Containers and Swapbodies being conveyed over routes known to have the necessary clearances. C8/4 Loads and/or vehicles for which an Exceptional Load Form RT3973/- has been issued, may, except as outlined in Section C8/3 above, only be conveyed on DO freight trains following special authorisation by Railtrack Zones over which the train is to travel, unless the undermentioned conditions apply:- (a) no 'Conditions of Travel' have been imposed (b) when a competent person is accompanying the movement. Page C20 Freight Train Operations Working Manual for Rail Staff

21 C9 The Train List C9/1 The Train List has a printed heading which shows the Working Timetable number, departure time, origin and destination points of the train. The following data is to be found at the bottom of the Train List and it is repeated on the Driver s Slip. Authorised and Actual figures for the train are printed side by side covering the following items:- (a) Maximum load in tonnes. (For MGR trains only, this will show the maximum number of wagons) (b) Brake force type and tonnage (c) Route availability (RA) (d) Length limit (e) Locomotive class(es) (f) Maximum speed in mph C9/2 The TOPS computer system automatically checks whether the train formation conforms to the laid down criteria of this Working Manual and other standards, when it produces the Train List. Details of the manual checks to be carried out on the Train List are contained in Section C2 of this Working Manual. C9/3* Where only one copy of the Driver s Slip is required this must be obtained from the Train List. If an additional copy is required, a second Train List must be requested. C9/4 An explanation of the 'Codes' which are found on a TOPS Train List shown against individual vehicles may be found in Tables F1, F2 and F3.
