Provision of a multi holed fish platongue rail at suitable distance from e

SUGGESTION NO.2: IMPROVED TRACK
Existing track circuiting system does not
fracture
Modification of bonding of stock rail beyo
tongue rail may indicate track circuit failudetection.
SUGGESTION NO 3: CASTLE NUT
Castle nut arrangement for all T heaprovided which ensures non-loosening
prevents working out of bolts from grove

Elimination of wooden blocks provided below st
