3. -: INDIAN RAILWAY :-
First passenger train introduced in India on 16 April 1853 between Mumbai to
Thane (34 km).
Over 10,000 trains daily, transporting over 8,900 million passengers and over
1050 million tones of freight per year.
Indian Railways is the world's ninth largest organisation, by number of
employees, with over 1.4 million employees.
As of 31 March 2013, 23,541 km (36%) of the total 65,000 km route length was
electrified.
The number of zones in Indian Railways increased from six to eight in 1951,
nine in 1952 and sixteen in 2003. Presently there are 17 zones & 84 divisions.

10. Wheel testing & machining
Axial journal testing lathe
In this shop wheel sets are removed from the bogies, the
entire wheel is first inspected for assessing the condition of the
component of wheel such as axel trial wheel disc and
guttering.
The shop consist of-
1. Axel journal testing lathe.
2. Hydraulic wheel press with facility of mounting.
3. Vertical turning lathe.
Hydraulic wheel presses with a facility

11. Vertical turning lathe
External and internal diameter is corrected by this lathe; wheel
is tightened on the rotating clutch. The stationary is carbide tool
cut the wheel to correct diameter.
12. -: THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES AND THE OVERHAULING PERIODS :-
1. Trip schedule- After every trip by primary
maintenance depot.
2. Schedule A - Monthly (1 month )
3. Schedule B - Quarterly (3 months )
4. IOH 9 months
5. POH 18 months
Periodic overhauling is the best available process of maintenance of coaches in India. This
generally operated after 18 months after the manufacturing or the previous periodic
overhauling done in any workshop. This undergoes a huge process of lifting the coach,
isolating the all parts, and changing or replacing the necessary or damaged parts. In other
words this is the process of renewing the coaches.
> POH <
-It stands for periodic overhauling.
-POH is allowed in nominated workshops only.
-Painting of whole coach is necessary.
-Profiling of wheel is necessary
13. -: WHEEL
PROFILE :-
-: DEFECTS :-
Thin Flange :- When the flange thickness reduces from 28.5 mm to 16
mm or less, then the flange is called thin flange.
Sharp Flange :- When the radius given at the tip of flange is worn out from
14.5mm to 5 mm or less is called Sharp Flange.
Thin Tyre :- If the remaining thickness of tyre is less than 25 mm, it is called
thin tyre.
Hollow Tyre :- If the groove on the wheel tread is up to 5 mm or more, it is
called Hollow tyre.
14. MACHINE SHOP
Machines are two types
1. AUTOMATIC.
2. MANUALLY.
There are three types of automatic machine.
Numerical control.
Computer numerical control.
Direct numerical control machine.
16. Manually Operated Machine
Drilling operation is carried out here. A
large for the operation .To complete the
operation faster a few gauge milling
machine are also provides.
All the lathes have four jaws chuck for
better holding centering is done either
manually or with the help of universal
scriber. All kinds of turning are performed
here.

17. Manually Operated Machine
The machine is also called horizontal
shaping machine. It works on quick-return
mechanism .The arm of shaper
reciprocating horizontal. The cutting takes
place only in the forward stroke.
The is vertical shaping machine
.The arm reciprocating in the
vertical direction. Most parts are
the same as shaper .

18. BREAKING SYSTEM
BRAKING SYSTEM
In Air Brake system compressed air is used for operating the brake system. The
locomotive compressor charges the feed pipe and the brake pipes throughout the
length of the train. The feed pipe is connected to the auxiliary reservoirs and the
brake pipe is connected to the brake cylinders through the distributor valve. Brake
application takes place by dropping the pressure in the brake pipe.
19. -: AXLE :-
It is the main long cylindrical bar on which bogie are fixed with the help of bearings. This
is made of steel as above. Each axle contains 2 wheels, the brake cylinders are also
attached to it and in case of LHB coaches, the braking discs are fixed on to the axle.
The axle mounted brake disc consists of a gray cast iron friction
ring and a cast steel hub, connected by means of radially
arranged elastic resilient sleeves which are secured in the hub by
means of hexagon screws. The friction ring is manufactured as a
solid component or in a split version. In the latter case, the two
halves are held together by two tight fit screws.
DISC
20. -: AIR BRAKE SYSTEM
:- The brake system in which compressed air is used in the brake
cylinder for the application of brakes is called air brake system.
MAIN COMPONENTS :-
Control Reservoir 9 liter, 5 kg/cm2 Auxiliary Reservoir
200 liter, 6 kg/cm2
Brake pipe Dia. 32 mm Feed Pipe Dia. 25
21. -: BRAKE SHOE :-
The brake shoe is provided with a brake
pad holder carrying replaceable pads.
The brake shoe consists of the brake pad
holder, the vertical pins and the brake pad.
SHOESDue to BC pressure, the piston moves
forward and strikes against the brake caliper.
The lever arm of the brake caliper presses
onto the disc brake through the brake shoe.
The disc brakes are mounted on the wheel
axle and so rotate along with the wheels.
Due to application of brake shoes, the discs
begin to lose their angular speed.
As a result the axle also begins to slow down
since the two are connected.
Ultimately, the wheels stop rotating as they
are mounted on the same axle.
22. 1.Bogie frame longitudinal component
2. Cross-beam
BOGIE SHOP
The frame is made up of two longitudinal components
(1) connected by two cross-beams
(2) which also support the brake units. The various supports which
connect the different bogie components are welded to the frame.
24. During welding in a BCNHL wagon various welding techniques are used like flat welding,
horizontal welding, vertical welding,overhead welding, etc. But it is always preferred to weld as flat
welding. So wherever possible, by using manipulators,work piece is so adjusted that it can be
welded as flat or horizontal. It increases the efficiency of worker and it is also safe to do.
(Fig 6.7 fixed manipulator)
25. -: WINDOW UNITS :-
The sealed window units consist of 8.4 mm outer glass
and 4 mm inner glass with 6 mm Argon gas filled.
Argon is an inexpensive, non-toxic,
odorless gas .
It increase sound proofing
characteristics of the
window.
Minimizes heat exchange through the
window.
Argon will not corrode the window
material.
This type of windows can even block
ultraviolet
rays.
