4 Rail Industry Standard RIS-3440-TOM Issue One Date December 2016 Part 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose of this document GORT3440, issue two, duplicates The Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) GORT3440 sets out the industry s agreed process for infrastructure managers (IMs) and railway undertakings (RUs). whether mainline or non-mainline operators of steam trains, to have procedures and methods for carrying out risk evaluations and implementing risk control measures in their Safety Management Systems (SMSs), should they wish to operate on the mainline railway It was therefore formally redundant as a National Safety Rule, and therefore also as a. As a consequence, it has been withdrawn However, the content of GORT3440 provides a basis for the requirements operators of steam trains need to contain within their SMSs, to operate on the mainline railway GORT3440 has therefore been replaced by this Rail Industry Standard (RIS-3440-TOM) for the, which reproduces the content of GORT3440 in its entirety as Annex A of this document. 1.2 Application of this document A member of may choose to adopt all or part of this document through internal procedures or contract conditions. Where this is the case the member of will specify the nature and extent of application Therefore, compliance requirements and dates have not been specified since these will be the subject of internal procedures or contract conditions The s Code and the Standards Manual does not currently provide a formal process for deviating from RISs. However, a member of, having adopted a RIS and wishing to deviate from its requirements, may request a Standards Committee to provide observations and comments on their proposed alternative to the requirement in the RIS. Requests for opinions and comments should be submitted to by to proposals.deviation@rssb.co.uk. When formulating a request, consideration should be given to the advice set out in the Guidance to applicants and members of Standards Committee on deviation applications, available from s website. 1.3 Health and safety responsibilities Users of documents published by are reminded of the need to consider their own responsibilities to ensure health and safety at work and their own duties under health and safety legislation. does not warrant that compliance with all or any documents published by is sufficient in itself to ensure safe systems of work or operation or to satisfy such responsibilities or duties. 1.4 Approval and authorisation of this document The content of this document was approved by the Traffic Operation and Management Standard Committee on 05 April This document was authorised by on 07 November Page 4 of 16

9 Part 1 Purpose and introduction 1.1 Purpose This document mandates risk control measures to manage the operation of steam locomotives on Network Rail managed infrastructure. 1.2 Introduction Background The operation of steam traction on Network Rail managed infrastructure continues to attract public interest, which can lead to crowd control problems at stations or at the lineside, with associated risk of trespass. This is a factor that needs to be considered in planning the itineraries and stopping points of steamhauled trains Timing and operation of steam movements must account for maximum speeds permissible according to driving wheel diameter, to control excessive track forces This standard also mandates steam locomotive crewing levels to mitigate against the absence of safety features such as drivers safety or vigilance devices, and to overcome difficulties in sighting signals and lineside warning boards when operating right-hand drive locomotives or running tender first A clause has been included to ensure that, when stopping a steam locomotive or steam-hauled train, the effect of smoke and steam emissions on heat-sensitive overhead line equipment is avoided Principle The requirements of this document are based on the principle that certain aspects of steam locomotive operation, by virtue of their rarity or special interest, physical characteristics of track forces and emissions of smoke and steam, together with the nature and position of driving controls, impose particular requirements over and above those mandated in other operational Railway Group standards Supporting documents There are no Railway Group documents supporting this. Page 4 of 9
10 Part 2 Requirements for steam locomotive operation 2.1 Requirements of infrastructure managers and railway undertakings Planning Infrastructure managers and railway undertakings planning steam locomotive movements shall consider potential public interest and safety implications (such as trespass) that could arise. 2.2 Requirements of the infrastructure manager Planning The infrastructure manager shall time steam locomotive movements to take account of restrictions on maximum permissible speed according to driving wheel diameters, as shown in Table A: Nominal driving wheel diameter Less than 1524 mm (5 feet) 1524 mm (5 feet) or greater Less than 1727 mm (5 feet 8 inches) Maximum speed 35 mph 50 mph 1727 mm (5 feet 8 inches) or greater 1880 mm (6 feet 2 inches) or greater Less than 1880 mm (6 feet 2 inches) 60 mph 75 mph Table A Operation under overhead line equipment The infrastructure manager shall make available to railway undertakings information regarding the location of overhead line equipment that could be affected by emissions from the chimney or safety valve. 2.3 Requirements of railway undertakings Crewing of movements Railway undertakings shall crew all steam locomotive movements when under their own power with no less than two persons, one of whom must be a driver competent in driving steam locomotives and the other a competent fireman Railway undertakings shall assess the proposed route to identify signals and lineside warning boards that may be difficult to see from a steam locomotive, particularly when: a) the steam locomotive has driving controls only on the right hand side of the cab b) running tender-first Railway undertakings shall, when signals or lineside warning boards are identified as being difficult to see, provide the driver with assistance in sighting them, either by the fireman or an additional person provided on the footplate. Page 5 of 9
11 2.3.2 Maximum permissible speeds Railway undertakings shall restrict the maximum speed of steam locomotive movements to comply with the limits related to driving wheel diameter shown in Table A Railway undertakings shall, where a train is hauled by, or includes within its formation, more than one steam locomotive(s) with driving wheel diameters of different sizes, restrict maximum operating speed to that applicable to the locomotive with smaller driving wheels Operation under overhead line equipment Railway undertakings shall, whenever possible (considering the possibility of unplanned events), prevent steam locomotives being brought to a stand at locations where emissions from the chimney or safety valve could affect overhead line equipment (as identified with reference to ).
