3. HISTORY OF INDIAN RAILWAY
 Indian Railway founded 8 may 1845 (172 year ago)
 In 1849 GIPR(Great Indian Peninsula Railway) was
established by East India Company.
 First train in Indian Railway between Mumbai to
Thana on 16th April 1853.
 Now 17 Railways Zones one is NWR Jaipur and
Jaipur junction established in 1875 and in 2002 it
made a NWR Zone
 One of India’s most famous and luxurious train The
Palace On Wheels stop at Jaipur.

4. RAILWAY INTRODUCTION
 Minister of Railways – Piyush Goyal
 Indian Railways ran on average 13,313 passenger
trains daily in 2015-2016.
 Indian railway is 3th largest railway network having
route length of 66,687km(41,437)
 7,216 Total stations in Indian railways

6. TYPES OF RAILWAYS COACHES
 Mainly used in Indian railways coaches
1. ICF Coach
2. LHB coach

7. ICF COACH
 Integral Coach Factory ( ICF COACH)
 The Integral Coach Factory is located in Chennai.
 Max. Speed of coach – 130km/h
 Noise level 100 decibels

8. LHB COACH
 Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches
 that have been developed by Linke-Hofmann-Busch of
Germany
 Noise level of 60 decibels
 Max. speed of coach-160 km/h

9. AIR BREAKING SYSTEM
 Brake: A brake is a device by means of which artificial
frictional resistance is applied to a moving machine member,
in order to retard or stop the motion of a machine.
 Air Brake System: Brakes applied with the help of air are
called Air Brakes and the system actuated to apply this
phenomenon is known as Air Brake System.

10. CLASSIFICATION
On the basis of type of release, air brake system is classified as:
 Direct release air brake system
 Graduated release air brake system
Types of Graduated release air brake system
 Single pipe and
 Twin pipe

11. DIRECT RELEASE SYSTEM
Air released immediately in single pass, as soon as
releasing of brakes is initiated.
E.g.: freight trains
GRADUATE RELEASE SYSTEM
Brake cylinder pressure can be reduced gradually in
steps in proportion to the increase in brake pipe pressure.
E.g.: passenger trains

12. TWIN PIPE AIR BRAK SYSTEM
 Here along with brake in feedpipe also used from loco to the brake van
in order to get continuity of air for the application & release of brakes.
COMPONENTS OF TWIN PIPE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM
 Distributor valve
 Auxiliary reservoir(100L)
 Control reservoir
 Brake cylinder (355mm diameter)
 Brake pipe (32mm dia)
 Feed pipe(32 mm dia

14. TESTING OF AIR BRAK SYSTEM
 Here S.C.T.R. use for testing of brake and its cylinder acts as
the main reservoir.
 There are two pressure potentials i.e. 5kg/cm2 in brake pipe
and 6kg/cm2 in feed pipe

15. Suspension system
 Suspension arrangements are of two types namely
 PRIMARY SYSTEM
 SECONDARY SYSTEM

16. rail travelling crane
Have two crane hooks
 Main hook(35 ton capacity)
 Auxiliary hook(5 ton capacity

17. TRAIN MAINTENANCE
 Washing line :-
after every 2500 km
 Sick line :-
Schedule “A” maintenance- 1 month
Schedule “B” maintenance- 3 months
IOH- 9 months or 2,00,000 km
POH- 18 months or 4,00,000 km
 Platform Train Duty:-
on starting & ending stations

18. WASHING LINE

19. Sick Line
 Sick line is the workshop for the major and periodical maintenance
of the coaches it consists of modern facilities like pit for working
under frame And crane for separation of coach & bogie for repair
of all type of defects

20. BUFFER MAINTENANCE
 Buffers are the horizontal shock absorbing parts with coupling the
adjacent coaches of the train so need regular changing of shock
absorbing rubber pads.
