(b) opening of stations, junctions and level crossings;
(c) re-modelling of yards and re-building of bridges;
(d) introduction of electric traction; and
(e) any alteration or reconstruction materially affecting the structural character of any
work.
(3) Following works shall be considered as materially affecting:
(i) Alterations to points and crossings in running lines (shifting of points and
crossings is not included in alteration).
(ii) New signaling and interlocking installations or alterations to existing installations.
(iii) Heavy re-grading of running lines involving lowering/raising of track in excess of
500 mm.
(iv) New bridges including road over and road under bridges, dismantling and

including provision of temporary girders affecting passenger running lines.
(v) Permanent shifting of existing level crossing, manning/de-manning of existing level
crossing, downgrading and closing of existing manned level crossing, upgrading of

(II) Further, any work which in opinion of CTE/CBE is affecting the safety of
