(i) Running staff working shunting and Van Goods trains will continue to be paid at double the kilometrage for the first 60 Kms. and at three times the kilometrage beyond that distance.
(ii) In the case of Ballast and Material Trains, Crane Specials and light engines on mechanical account, the computation of kilometrage shall be at the rate of 20 kms. per hour subject to a maximum of 200 kms. for prescribed hours of duty, the period being reckoned from “signing on” to “signing off”.
(iii) In the case of Breakdown specials and Medical Relief Trains the computation of kilometrage shall be at the rate of 25 kms. per hour from “signing on” to “signing off”.
Note: The inflation of kilometrage of slow moving trains in the above manner would not be applicable to ghat sections, for which a separate method of computation of kilometrage is provided for under these Rules.
