Different procedures are being adopted on Zonal Railways to haul Dead Electric &
Diesel Locomotives. The existing instructions in the form of various letters & reports
issued from time to time also do not fully cover the special features of the newly
introduced Electric & Diesel Locomotives. To address this problem and to develop uniform
instructions to be followed on Indian Railways, RDSO have prepared Instruction Bulletin
No. MP.IB.BK.01.05.05, Rev. 0.02 May 2006 to haul Dead Electric & Diesel Locomotive
incorporating observations of Railway Board. A copy of the same is being enclosed
herewith for your information & necessary action.

and circulated to all Maintenance & Operation Units working under your control.
