Partial renewal or renewal of components comprises the intermediate renewal1 of

major or minor components - switches, crossings, worn rails, insulating rail-joints, etc.

- Day-to-day maintenance includes maintenance of desirable standards of all com-

ponents of railway track and alignment which can be done mechanically or manually.

(3) Day-to-day maintenance includes tamping, lining, patrolling and other tasks.

Complete renewal as well as earthworks and reballasting require both temporary speed re-

strictions (TSRs) and ’abnormal’ possession of the fine. Earthworks, reballasting and day-

to-day maintenance may require ‘abnormal’ possessions only, while partial renewal of

components requires, at the worst, a ‘normal’ possession.

(4) A ‘normal’ possession is one which requires no alteration to regular services. An

‘abnormal’ possession does require alterations, and sometimes it may take up to 50 hours

to carry out this work. Generally, a weekend ‘abnormal’ possession lasts some 15-20

hours.

Note: 1) intermediate renewal – средний ремонт.
