It is high time that a fresh edition should be brought out incorporating not only the amendment slips but also revising the format. Classification of accidents, definitions of terms and officials which figured previously in Appendices A, B & C respectively of the old manual of 1987 have now been incorporated in the main body under Chapter-II. Additional item, e.g. sabotage or train wrecking, unusual occurrences, accident record and returns have also been added. For the convenience of reference to the relevant rules of the Manual, a three digits code has been adopted; the first digit denotes the number of Chapter and the last two digits denote the number of paragraph. Recently duty lists of officials during serious accidents have been recast separately and a number of new officials have been added. Some of the overlapping duties of officials have also been rationalised and allotted to the official concerned. This book should be read in conjuction with General & Subsidiary Rules and important circulars issued from time to time. Vijay Kumar V. K.
