RAILWAY BOARD
(This supersedes the Training Modules issued in January 2000)
FOREWARD
Booklet containing Approved modules for stage-wise training of Loco

Running Staff was last issued in January 2000. Since then the need has been felt
to make changes in the course content, duration and periodicity of different
modules. An attempt has been made to meet these needs by the changes
incorporated while compiling this booklet which is in supersession of the Approved
Module for Stage-wise Training of Group 'C' and 'D' staff of Loco Running Staff
issued in January 2000.
The training modules and the course contents have been meticulously
designed to cover latest technological changes both in respect of train operation
and loco maintenance. These have been done keeping in view the
recommendations of RSRC (Khanna Committee) and the Running Allowance
Committee 2002. Simulator training and safety related inputs have been added to
make the training more meaningful and purposeful
It is hoped that adoption of these training modules will go a long way in
meeting the training needs of the Loco Pilots of the Zonal Railways. The training of
Loco Pilots are arranged at Zonal Railway Training Institutes(ZRTIs)/Supervisors
Training Centres(STCs)/Diesel Traction Training Centres(DTTCs) or Electrical
Training Centres(ETCs) on the Zonal Railways. It has been decided that in case of
ZRTI/Bhusawal where the Mechanical and Electrical Simulators have been/are
being installed, the overall administrative control of the simulators will be under
Principal/ZRTI, Bhusawal and the operational control will be with the respective
AME/AEE. The other simulators, which are expected to be installed in
ETCs/STCs/DTTCs, will be under the control of the respective Principal/Incharge of
the training centre.
This scheme will continue to be in operation till the next review. Based on
the experience gained, further addition/alteration to the various training
modules/detailed course contents will be considered.
Note: The above training modules are compilation of the Boards letter No.E(MPP)98/3/8
