48.CRS , CST and PCE sanction

  Validity of CST sanction   is six months .Required when we are doing any changes in existing interlocking.e.g commissioning of BPAC Validity of CRS and PCE sanction are same (01 year). PCE sanction is required only for closing the LC gate.Earlier it was with CRS, now delegated to PCE. ESP,SIP,SWRD,PD and SWR required to be attached with PCE sanction.  Type of block working in any section approved by CRS. CRS sanction is must when do any change in interlocking,e.g.any new line is opened. Validity of CRS sanction is 01 year. CRS permission is required in following cases. a) Additions/extensions or alterations to the existing block, Signalling and interlocking installations b) Change in Block, Signalling and Interlocking installations. c) New stations temporary or permanent. d) Interlocking of level crossings, catch siding and slip sidings etc. e) For any kind of clubbing of Signal CRS Sanction is required. CST Sanction   CST Sanction required in following works 1) P...
