Where can I find locomotives from India that have been preserved or restored outside India?

20-06-2019

During the World Wars, many Indian locomotives were transferred to the middle East, Africa, and elsewhere to support British military efforts. Most of these locomotives of course do not survive now and may be difficult to trace. Details of these wartime transfers are found in works such as 'Middle East Railways' by Hugh Hughes as well as railway periodicals of the time. This section does not deal with those, nor with the many Indian locos that have been exported to other countries as part of commercial deals by IR, IRCON, CLW or DLW, etc. (including renovated and new locos). Other than all of these only a few Indian locomotives have been transferred to other countries. ये भी

What do the terms ‘block station’, and ‘halt station’ mean?

July 16, 2019

A block station is a station (along with its signalbox) associated with one end of a block section. Each block section has a block station at either end; the block stations control access to the block in either direction. A halt station is a station that is not associated with the end of a block section and has no associated signalboxes and no

What is an Intermediate Block Section?

July 16, 2019

Intermediate Block Sections are provided to increase track usage in areas with absolute block operations where the distances between successive stations are large, causing each block to be very long. The heart of the absolute block system is the idea of only permitting one train ever to be on a block at any time; however, if the block is very

Q. WHAT ARE SINGLE LINE BLOCK, TWIN SINGLE LINE BLOCK, ETC.?

July 16, 2019

A single line block system has just one track, which may be used for traffic in both directions. Signals are provided for both directions, and the token exchange or other system of interlocking works for traffic going either way. The basic principle is to restrict access to a block of track to a single train at a time, whether going in the up or

What is the bell code used to communicate between signal cabins for block working?

July 16, 2019

IR's bell code has some points of correspondence with systems used in the UK in the early part of the 20th century. The system of bell codes to convey messages from one signalbox to another is given below. An 'X' indicates a short strike on the bell, and a dash indicates a pause.

What happens if lots of trains go in one direction in a section that uses physical tokens, and one station then runs out of tokens?

July 16, 2019

As may be deduced from the description of token block systems above, there is a problem if the traffic is not symmetric in both directions between the two stations at the ends of a block section. Eventually, one of the stations will run out of tokens to dispense to trains. This condition is known, not surprisingly, as a token exhausted condition,

How is the Neale’s ball token system or other physical token system worked?

July 16, 2019

This system is primarily used for single line routes (although it is seen on others too, e.g. MS-KMU-TPJ). The ball token system relies on the crew's physical acquisition and carriage of a small metal ball to mark a train's permission to enter a section of track. The ball is dispensed by a Token Instrument at either end of the block. The two
