FOREWORD TO FIRST REPRINT TO IRPWM (1986)

A separate “Indian Railways Permanent Way Manual” incorporating procedure and


practices to be followed on Indian Railways after modernisation of the track commenced
in the seventies was first published in 1986. It has been decided to reprint the existing

IRPWM updating the same by incorporating all the Advance Correction Slips issued so
far (i.e. Advance Correction Slip Nos. 1 to 27). It is hoped that this updated manual will
help the Permanent Way Men in maintaining the track to prescribed standards.

PREFACE TO FIRST REPRINT TO IRPWM (1986)

A Separate “Indian Railways Permanent Way Manual” was published in 1986 pursuant
to the recommendations of the 49th Track Standards Committee. With the passage of
time, certain changes in track standards, maintenance practices, track monitoring, etc.

have occurred and Advance Correction Slips have been issued from time to time. It
was decided by the Railway Board to reprint the IRPWM incorporating all the Advance

Correction Slips No. 1 to 27. Further, as a separate LWR Manual (1996) has already
been published, Annexure-M2 of the IRPWM (1986) has been deleted.

Railway Board will be glad to consider any comments and suggestions from
the Railway Administrations.
