This notification, G.S.R. 822(E), issued by the Ministry of Railways, Railway Board, on November 6, 2019, amends the Dedicated Freight Corridor Railway General Rules, 2018. The amendment, titled the Dedicated Freight Corridor Railway General Rules, Amendment Rules, 2019, comes into force on the date of its publication in the Official Gazette. The core change involves rule 273, specifically sub-rule 3, which pertains to level crossing gates. The amended rule mandates that each level crossing gate be equipped with approach warning and approach track locking systems. These systems are designed to alert gatemen to approaching trains via an alarm triggered at a predetermined point, assisting in traffic regulation. Furthermore, the track locking system ensures that once the boom is closed, it cannot be opened until the entire train has passed the level crossing and the gate signal indicates it is safe to do so. The original rules were published under notification G.S.R. 765(E) on August 10, 2018. The notification was issued under the authority of section 198 of the Railways Act, 1989 (24 of 1989).
