What is SOD ?
Schedule of dimension is nothing but a
schedule, which lays down :-
Limiting values, recommended values,
and infringement to limiting values,
which can be continued over entire
Indian railways system for various track
parameters.
Goods wagon and coaching stock
parameters.
Horizontal and vertical clearances to be
followed on Indian railways.
Necessity of S O D
It is absolutely essential to ensure safety of
traveling public as well as goods over entire
Indian railways system.
To adopt uniform system of track tolerances,
location of structures and construction
standard all over the Indian railways.
To permit different types of coaching and
goods stock owned by different railways to
ply on entire railway system with same level
of degree of safety.
Brief Introduction
1913 - First schedule of maxm & minm
dimension.
1922 – SOD with Maxm. Minm & recommended
dimension was published.
1929 – Amendment in order to introduce some
improvement and additions of clearances
required for electric traction.
1936 – Financial stringency on railway therefore
amendment to restrict capital expenditure to
minimum.
Contd. ….
1939 & 1958 reprinted with some modifications.
1973 – Reprinted with conversion to metric
