Avoid SPAD

Date: 13/06/2011
Tr No 11019
LOAD-23B
Loco No 18763 KZJ WDM3A
Section: SUR-WADI (C.RLY)

HG Dn Home Signal (S2/ 469-2) was Danger whereas LC60 Gate Signal (SW3/ 468-6) was one Yellow and Gate Distant signal was two yellow

Comment: It is danger may be a cause for SPAD as distance between Gate cum Distant signal of Home Signal & Dn Home Signal is merely 600m which is quite less than braking distance as well as also less than standard adequate safety distance (1000m).
Moreover visibility is also poor due to curving.

Suggestion: To avoid SPAD case, Aspects of signals to be matched like aspects of KDGN up Home Signal & LC12 Gate Signal (ie when home Signal is Danger then past both signals Gate Signal & Gate Distant must be one yellow).

otherwise Location of signals may be shifted to the extent of standard adequate safety distance.

It's a repeated defect but no positive steps by administration. They just stated as per PLAN it is correct. But PLAN may be faulty that must checked.

  1. Good morning sir,
    During last monitoring my nominated CLI Shri Gaikwad saheb told me that the aspects of Gate distant, Gate Signal & HG Dn Home Signal has been changed recently to avoid SPAD, it may have. And it's appreciable.
    But still there is a possibility of SPAD. Because today on 13-08-2011 while working 11027 (18917 GY) it is found that Gate distant was two yellow & Gate Signal was yellow whereas HG Dn Home Signal was Danger, instead of yellow.
    Itself it shows that our contention has not taken care correctly. So please examine the changes made by S & T dept as there should not be the possibility of SPAD. Necessary Caution order may please be issued. I will come to you next week.
    Thanx
