The document discusses procedures for handling a "total failure of communication" situation on a double line absolute block system. In this situation, line clear cannot be obtained from the adjacent station by any available means of communication. The station master must [1] stop trains from entering the affected block section, [2] inform drivers and guards of the failure and rules for working, and [3] issue Form T/C 602 which authorizes restricted speed travel without line clear until communication is restored. Subsequent trains may be dispatched at 30 minute intervals using the same procedures until normal working resumes.

COMMUNICATION ON DOUBLE LINE ABSOLUTE BLOCK SYSTEM
Dhananjay Kumar Singh
Transportation Instructor ZRTI/Bhuli TOTAL FAILURE OF COMMUNICATION ON DOUBLE LINE ABSOLUTE BLOCK SYSTEM
When line clear for a train can’t be
obtained from adjacent station by
D.K.SINGH/Instructor/ZRTI,Bhuli any of the means of communication available at the station, such a situation is termed as total failure of communication TOTAL FAILURE OF COMMUNICATION ON DOUBLE LINE ABSOLUTE BLOCK SYSTEM
MEANS OF COMMUNICATION 1) Block Instrument, Track Circuit & Axle
D.K.SINGH/Instructor/ZRTI,Bhuli Counter 2) Block Telephone 3) Control Phone 4) VHF Set 5) Station to Station fixed telephone or BSNL Phone TOTAL FAILURE OF COMMUNICATION ON DOUBLE LINE ABSOLUTE BLOCK SYSTEM
The SM will stop the trains to go towards
the affected block section
D.K.SINGH/Instructor/ZRTI,Bhuli The Guard & Driver of the train will be informed about the fact by the SM If the Driver is not convergent with the rules for working of trains under such situation the SM shall explain it in presence of Guard TOTAL FAILURE OF COMMUNICATION ON DOUBLE LINE ABSOLUTE BLOCK SYSTEM The SM will issue form T/C 602 to the driver and obtain the signature of Guard & Driver on the form. The form T/C 602 includes the following items:
D.K.SINGH/Instructor/ZRTI,Bhuli a) Authority to proceed without Line Clear b) Authority to pass departure signals at ‘ON’ c) Caution Order: The Speed of the train will be restricted to: i) 25kmph – during day and when visibility is clear ii) 10kmph – during night and when visibility is not clear iii) walking pace – during thick foggy weather & dust storm TOTAL FAILURE OF COMMUNICATION ON DOUBLE LINE ABSOLUTE BLOCK SYSTEM
Dispatching of Trains: a) Route shall be set correctly and all facing point
D.K.SINGH/Instructor/ZRTI,Bhuli shall be locked properly. b) Fixed Signal, except LSS shall be taken ‘OFF’ (if possible). c) 2nd & subsequent trains will be dispatched after 30 minutes of interval along with the same forms & with same speed restriction as already mentioned above till normal working is resumed. TOTAL FAILURE OF COMMUNICATION ON DOUBLE LINE ABSOLUTE BLOCK SYSTEM Reception of Train: a) The train will stop at the foot of FSS, there from it will be received by taking ‘OFF’ signal/signals or otherwise.
D.K.SINGH/Instructor/ZRTI,Bhuli b) On arrival of the train at the station, the Driver will handover the form T/C 602 to the SM on duty. c) The SM will keep this form in his safe custody for inspection by TI(M) who will prepare a report on the working of trains and shall forward the same to DRM, within 7 days of resumption of normal working. d) The SM will record all particulars in the TSR
The train must continue to work on this system until
anyone of the means of communication is restored and T/I 602 is filled. TOTAL FAILURE OF COMMUNICATION ON DOUBLE LINE ABSOLUTE BLOCK SYSTEM Dhananjay kumar singh Transportation Instructor ZRTI/Bhuli
