What other alternative fuels does IR use?

20-06-2019

ompressed Natural Gas (CNG) is another fuel that IR has experimented with. Trials with a stationary diesel engine modified to use CNG were carried out at Shakurbasti station. More recently two diesel railcars have been modified to run on CNG. A DEMU rake (one diesel power coach and three trailer coaches) has been modified for CNG use and has been running for several months on NR (the DEMU rake is homed at Shakurbasti shed). Seating capacity on the rake has been reduced from 384 to 354. Early trials used up to 50% CNG in the fuel mix; in the field trials the rake is running with 35% CNG. It is expected that the resulting savings in fuel costs will pay for the modifications within about 20

Does IR use automatic track-side hot-spot detectors, trailing equipment detectors, etc.?

July 16, 2019

Does IR use any other method of Last Vehicle Proving

What kinds of axle counters does IR use?

July 16, 2019

Axle counters are widely used by IR to ensure that all wagons or coaches of a train have indeed passed a given point — out of a block section, out of the station limits, out of yard limits, other point zones, etc. ('last vehicle proving', 'block proving', or 'block verification', serving the same purpose as the visual 'Last Vehicle Check' or LVC

What kinds of track circuits are used by IR?

July 16, 2019

The most common form of track circuit used is the detection of a train by the closing of an electrical circuit between the two rails because of the conducting nature of the rolling stock. This circuit may use DC in the simplest form, or may use AC, at various frequencies or with coded pulses. DC Track Circuit (double-rail) Double-rail DC track

What are Locking Tables and Pull Sheets?

July 16, 2019

A Locking Table is a table that gives the complete set of interlocking relationships among signal and point levers in a cabin. A Pull Sheeet is similar, in that it conveys the same information, but is geared towards the lever operator's convenience in showing which other levers need to be pulled for any lever. A sample locking table is shown

How are points operated?

July 16, 2019

When signals are operated by single-wire transmission, points are always operated by rodding. Rodding refers to the long rods or tubes that one can see running parallel to the rails from cabins which have point levers, or from line-side point levers, and connecting with the tongue rails so that the action of the point lever moves the tongue rails
