2. Abstract
This report describes the work conducted during the internship at the moghalpura railway
works. This internship is part of the degree. The main purpose of my internship report is
to clear the concept and try to explain Railway works. I learned about how locomotives
and their parts work. I came to know different types of locomotives. I inspect all the
workshops process
The main subject of my work is the application of technical skills to correct equipment
problems causing equipment downtime and maintenance work. Dedication to
maintenance function and is focused on elimination of repetitive failures. Ensuring the
maintainability of new installations. Identifying and correcting chronic and costly
equipment problems, eliminate repetitive failures. Proper operation and care of parts.
Inspection, adjustments, replacements, overhauls, etc., for selected equipment.
I think this internship is a great experience for my future. In my opinion, internships are
one of the most important things in the engineer schooling. Indeed, they contain a lot of
things the student engineer will need to start in his career; for example, taking contact with
companies, writing cover letters, visualizing management skills, and going through
interviews.

First of all, I’m very thankful to Allah Almighty who blessed me and made capable to
complete this task. After that, I’m grateful to Pakistan Railways department (especially
MET) which provided me the opportunity to do Internship, over there. It pleasures me a
lot in paying tribute to all the staff members working at Railways department thus showing
their zeal and zest attitude towards their working area. Their support in guiding me the
technical points of the work being done at workshops, is greatly appreciable. This helped
me significantly in the completion of my report. This training wasn’t possible if the
Coordinator Ghilman Haider would not have allowed in the first place. So, thanks for him
as well.
Further I am very thankful to Foreman Rehabilitation Locomotive Shop, Mr. Adeel,

2.3 Literature Review Mughalpura Railway Lahore
Moghalpura Railway Workshops is located in the main stockpile of Pakistan Railways,
located in Lahore - Wagah Branch Line at Moghalpura Junction train station in Lahore,
Pakistan. The workshop began to emerge from its current location in 1904 to design,
refurbish and renovate passenger coaches and freight trains from the North Western State
Railway. After the liberation of Pakistan in 1947, it was the end of the Pakistan Railways.

3.0 Working Experience
In this chapter, we will discuss the key learning outcomes from this training, as
well as other important components and resources set out in Pakistan Railways workshops
across the country. Many types of manufacturing, production, processing, and special
purpose equipment are used in all forums. We all know that all machines work with some
kind of energy. Electric power is suitable for control, conversion, and various other
functions.
Therefore, for all of our manufacturing equipment, processing, and other purposes, we
used machine tools and equipment. As a result, I found useful equipment in various
workplaces. The following sections of this chapter provide a detailed discussion of several
relevant components and equipment set out in the workshops.
I have created workshops, listed here, and work-related information and other relevant
resources for these discussions and venues. The following paragraphs include a detailed
workshop and a quick description of my work in this workspace.

4.0 Project Carried Out
4.1 Carriage and Wagon shops (1908)
The Mughalpura Railway Workshops, on the Lahore–Wagah Branch Line at Mughalpura
Junction railway station (MGPR) in Lahore, is one of several rolling-stock repair sites.
The workshop complex emerged at its present site in 1904 to manufacture, repair, and
overhaul passenger coaches and freight wagons for the North Western State Railway. In
1947, it was the only state-of-the-art workshop for-Pakistan railways.
These are the following shops in which we have worked in Carriage and wagon shops:
Power Plant Shop C&W Shop
Motor Shop C&W Shop
Heat Treatment Shop C&W Shop

Figure 4 Diesel Engine Generator
Roller Baring Shop C&W Shop
4.1.1 POWER SHOP
In this shop the piston and other mechanical parts of diesel engine used in power van are
overhauled and repaired. A power Van is basically a part of a train which consists of
generators and a controlling system that provides electrical power to the whole train to
utilize in form of light, fan or Air Conditions. There are two types of generators used in
power van. One is 300 KVA which is used in a combination of two generators and 500
KVA which is used alone. There is always a generator placed as a backup generator in the
power van for emergency conditions or in case of overload. The supply of fuel for these
generators is taken through the diesel tank which is placed in the power van separately for
each generator and called an auxiliary tank. Power Van has usually two people for
operation at a time during working. A control panel is used to control both generators
while operating.

Diesel Generator
A diesel generator is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often
an alternator) to generate electrical energy. This is a specific case of engine-generator. A
diesel compression-ignition engine often is designed to run on fuel oil, but some types are
adapted for other liquid fuels or natural gases.
Perkins Engine with Alternator
It is supplied by diesel through an auxiliary tank which is connected to the main tank and
a motor is used to pump diesel through the main tank to the auxiliary tank.
A 500 KVA diesel generator usually takes 30 liter/hour diesel in normal loads and 45
liter/hour in peak loads. The main tank can be from different ranges but mostly used a
3000-liter capacity tank. Trainload may vary from 3A to 55A, from normal to peak load.
In some cases, a generator of 75 KVA is also placed for extra load or if the load is very
less than 75 KVA generator is used.
Figure 5 Perkins Diesel Generator
Following Diesel Engines are used in power vans for generating electricity:

Perkins
Caterpillar
Cummins
4.1.1.1Perkins Diesel Engine
Parts of a Diesel Generator:
Diesel generator has many parts but some main parts are below:
Diesel Tank:It is also called auxiliary tank in which diesel is placed for the supply of
generators. Both generators have their own auxiliary tank which is connected with main
tank and motor is use to supply diesel
Fuel Water Separator: Fuel water separator is used to separate water from fuel and
prevent water to flow in engine and prevent engine from rusting.
Fuel Filter/Oil Filter: It is used to filter the fuel from dust particles and other material
which may be harmful and impure.
Actuator: On a diesel engine, actuator is normally used to refer to the actuator in the
fuel system which controls the amount of diesel fuel injected into the engine.
Engine: A four-stroke engine is used in diesel generator. A diesel generator is basically
machinery that converts the chemical energy in diesel to electrical energy. It does this
using a diesel engine and an AC alternator, coupled together. Normally caterpillar and
Cummins company’s components are used in it.
Lube oil Filter: Lube oil is basically oil which is used in moving parts to prevent
friction and heat produced by friction and this filter is used to remove dust particles and
impurities from it.
Primary Lube oil pump: It is a pump which is used to pump lube oil in moving parts to
prevent friction and heat produced.
Coolant tank: Coolant tank is a tank which consists of coolant material which is used to
reduce heat in engine and it provide coolant in this regard. Normally distillated water is
used for coolant.
41. 41
Radiator & Fan: It is another important part of diesel generator. The radiator on a
diesel generator is the part that transfers the heat from the engine coolant to the
surrounding air. When working correctly, this process keeps the engine from
overheating.
4.1.1.2 Parts of Engine and Alternator
Turbo Charger: A turbocharger increases an engine's compression by blowing extra air
into the combustion chamber. The higher air mass allows more injected fuel to be burned.
It also helps to outflow carbon dioxide produced in engine.
It is not painted normally because of very high temperature of it.
Silencer: It is used to reduce the noise of the generator. It is connected with engine and
placed at the top of generator. It is also help in filtering.
Coupling: We use coupling to joint engine and alternator’s rotor. So both engine and
Alternator can rotate together.
Alternator: It is used to produce electricity. In DG, brushless alternator is used. There are
two main windings in it, a stator and a rotor winding.
Automatic Voltage Regulator: It is very important and used to regulate voltage and helps
to remain it in a fix level.
Figure 6 Diesel Generator Part
42. 42
Exciter: AVR commands exciter to regulate voltage in for a specific level and exciter
works to make it on a specific level.
Battery: Normally 2 batteries are used in series in Diesel Generator. And usually it is
used in couples for example 2, 4 or 6. They are connected in series to produce a 24v
supply. It is used to supply crank motor in starting.
Crank Motor: Crank is used to rotate DG’s rotor in starting. It works until rotor picks up
90% of the speed. After that motor get stops and engine’s rotor rotates alternator’s rotor.
By the use of crank motor and battery, engine will be self start.
Governor: Governor is used to maintain speed of the rotor even if the load is changing
so it prevents the effects of changing RPM speed which is required to produce 50Hz
frequency.
Flywheel: Flywheel is connected on rotor. When rotor rotates on a specific RPM
(normally 1500 is required), even if there is changing in load, flywheel is used to maintain
the speed of the rotor.
Control Panel: Control Panel is used to open and close the circuit of the diesel generator
to turn on and off its supply. It is also used to use generators in series in case of overload
and change of generator A to B in case of emergency or any fault.
It is mainly consisting of a display on which voltages, amperes, frequency, output voltage
and other measure
Can also e seen consisting of alarm circuit which can help to notify a signal in case of any
fault
Figure 7 Control Panel
43. 43
Circuit Breaker:
Circuit breaker is used as a protection device and helps to break
the circuit in case of overload. Air circuit breaker is used for this
purpose here. Normally 800A circuit breaker is used in 500
KVA diesel generators.
Circuit Breaker
4.1.2 MOTOR SHOP
The responsibility of motor shop in carriage and wagon is to repairing and overhauling
of cars, buses, trucks, fork lifter and cranes use for Pakistan railways. This shop consists
of mainly two sections
Petrol section
Diesel section
Automobile vehicles owned by Pakistan Railway are being fixed and overhauled at the
petrol division. Different types of buses, lorries, and other diesel vehicles such as cranes
and fork
lifters are overhauled in the diesel area.
4.1.2.1 Working of Diesel and Petrol Engines
The diesel and petrol engines that are used in most cars are highly similar. In essence, they
are internal combustion engines that work using a two or four-stroke cycle. In an internal
combustion engine, the power cycle is made up of four phases: intake, compression, power
and exhaust. In the intake phase, air is drawn into cylinder through the opening intake
valve. In the compression phase, the intake valve closes and air is compressed with fuelAt
this point, the mixture of fuel and air is ignited to cause an explosion. It is this explosion
that causes the piston to downwards and drive the crankshaft to produce motion. This isthe
power phase. The final phase is exhaust where the spent air-fuel mixture is expelled out
of the cylinder through the opening exhaust valve so that a new cycle may begin.
Figure 8 Circuit Breaker
44. 44
4.1.2.2 Difference
The main difference between diesel and petrol engines is that petrol engines use spark
plugs to ignite the air-fuel mixture, while diesel engines rely solely on heavily compressed
air.
As mentioned earlier, Rudolf Diesel found that the temperature of air could be made to
increase high enough if it was heavily compressed. The temperature would rise so high to
the point where it could cause the ignition of diesel fuel.
Therefore in diesel engines, air in cylinder would be very heavily compressed, typically
to around 14 to 23 times its original volume. In petrol engines, the compression ratio is
generally much lower, because they rely more on the spark plug to begin the power phase.
The compression
ratio is petrol engines is typically around only around 7 to 10, with high performance
vehicles having higher compression ratios of up to 13.
Figure 9 Engine Working
45. 45
4.1.2.3 DIESEL ENGINE OVERHAULED
A diesel engine, which is an internal combustion engine that uses heat to ignite fuel, has
an average service life of about 10 years Diesel engines deliver both power and a high
level of performance. But wear and tear over time on the engine components can lead to
mechanical problems and performance failure. As you start to notice problems occurring
with your diesel engine, the best way to address them might be by getting an engine
overhaul. This procedure involves taking apart the engine, identifying faulty parts and
replacing them, cleaning all the engine components, and then rebuilding the engine. An
overhaul can increase the performance, power, and longevity of your vehicle. Use this
guide to help you decide when to have your diesel engine overhauled.
If you notice any of these problems, it is very likely time to bring your vehicle in to get an
overhaul immediately:
Your engine has spun a rod bearing.
Your engine has very low or no oil pressure.
Your engine has dropped a valve.
If you notice these symptoms, it is a good idea to talk to a mechanic about the possibility
of getting an overhaul:
Your engine has high blow by.

4.1.3 Heat Treatment Shop
Heat treatment is defined as an operation involving the heating and cooling of a metal or
an alloy in the solid-state to obtain certain desirable properties without change
composition. The process of heat treatment is carried out to change the grain size, to
modify the structure of the material and to relive the stresses set up the material after hot
or cold working.
The heat treatment is done to improve the machinability.
To improve magnetic and electrical properties.
To increase resistance to wear, heat and corrosion and much more reason.
Heat treatment consists of heating the metal near or above its critical temperature, held
for a particular time at that finally cooling the metal in some medium which may be air,
water, brine or molten salts. The heat treatment process includes annealing, case
hardening, tempering, normalizing and quenching, nitriding, cyaniding etc. Heat
Treatment Process Flow Chart Shown in figure13
Steps in Heat Treating Operation
Figure 11 Steps Of Heat Treatment
48. 48
4.1.3.1 Types of Heat Treatment Processes
Eight different types of heat treatment processes are as follows:
Annealing
Normalizing
hardening
Tempering
Nitriding
Cyaniding
Carburizing
Flame Hardening
Types Of Heat Treatment
Annealing
Annealing is one of the most important
processes of heat treatment. It is one of
the most widely used operations in the
heat treatment of iron and steel and is
defined as the softening
process.Heating of from 30 - 50°C
above the upper critical temperature
and cooling it at the very slow rate by
seeking it the furnace. The main aim of
annealing is to make steel more ductile and malleable and to remove internal stresses. This
process makes the steel soft so that it can be easily machined.
Normalizing
Figure 12 Anealing Process
49. 49
Normalizing: The main aim of
normalizing is to remove the internal
stresses developed after the cold
working process. In this, steel is heated
30 - 50°C above its upper critical
temperature and cooling it in the air.It
improves mechanical and electrical
properties, machinability & tensile
strength. Normalizing is the process of
heat treatment carried out to restore the structure of normal condition.
Hardening
Hardening: The main aim of the
hardening process is to make steel hard
tough. In this process, steel is heated
30° - 40°C above the upper critical
temperature and then followed by
continues cooling to room temperature
by quenching in water or oil. It is the
opposite process of annealing.
Tempering
Tempering: When the hardening process hardens a steel specimen, it becomes brittle and
has high residual stress. It is an operation used to modify the properties of steel hardened
by quenching for the purpose of increasing its usefulness.
Tempering or draw results in a reduction of brittleness and removal of internal strains
caused during hardening. Steel must be tempered after the hardening process.
Figure 13 Normalizing Process
Figure 14 Hardening Process
50. 50
The tempering is divided into three categories according to the usefulness of steel
required.
Low-temperature tempering.
Medium temperature tempering.
High-temperature tempering.
Nitriding
Nitriding is the process of the case or
surface hardening in which nitrogen gas is
employed to obtain hard skin of the metal.
In this process, steel is heated in the
presence of ammonia environment.
Figure 15 Tempring Process
Figure 16 Nitriding Process
51. 51
Due to this, a nitrogen atom is deposited and makes material hard. Induction hardening
and Flame hardening objects are heated by an oxy-acetylene flame.
Purpose of Nitriding
To harden the surface of the steel to a certain depth.
Increase resistance to wear and fatigue.
To increase corrosion resistance.
Cyaniding
Cyaniding: In this process, steel is heated in the presence of sodium cyanide environment.
Due to this, carbon and nitrogen atoms are deposited on the surface of steel and make it
hard.
Purpose of Cyaniding
This method is effective for increasing the fatigue limit of medium and small-sized parts
such as gears, shafts, wrist pins etc.
To increase surface hardness.
increase wear resistance.
To give the clean, bright and pleasing appearance to the hardened surface.
Carburizing
Carburizing: In this process, steel is heated in the presence of carbon environment. Due
to this carbon atom are deposited on the metal surface and make it hard.
Case hardening or surface hardening
The main aim of this process is to make the only external surface of steel hard and inner
core soft. It is the process of carburization i.e., saturating the surface layer of steel with
carbon, or some other process by which case is hardened and the core remains
soft.Purpose of Heat Treatment of Steel
52. 52
The following are the purposes of heat treatment.
To improve mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, ductility,
shock resistance and resistance to corrosion.
Improve machinability.
To relieve the internal stresses of the metal-induced during cold or hot working.
To change or refine grain size.
Improve magnetic and electric properties.
Increase resistance to wear, and corrosion.
To increase the surface hardness.
4.1.3.2 Furnaces
Furnaces used for heat treatment can be split into two broad categories: batch
furnaces and continuous furnaces. Batch furnaces are usually manually loaded and
unloaded, whereas continuous furnaces have an automatic conveying system to provide a
constant load into the furnace chamber Railway loco heat treatment shop
Figure 17 Process Of Carburizing
53. 53
Batch furnaces
Batch systems usually consist of an insulated chamber with a steel shell, a heating system,
and an access door to the chamber. Schematic Diagram of Batch Furnaces
Box-type furnace
A Box Furnace features a vertical lift or swing out door allowing the various sized
product(s) to be placed in the furnace. Box Furnaces are utilized for heat-treating,
calcining, curing, annealing, stress relieving, preheating, tempering, and other high
temperature thermal processes.

4.2 Locomotive Workshop
Pakistan's Moghalpura Lahore workshop was built in 1912. In the railway workshop, all
repair departments are working on the revitalization of Pakistan Railways trains. Most of
them were HGMU30 EMD trains and some were ZCU30 Made in China locomotives, the
whole repair process was done by the locals as the first arrival policy.

Disassemble Section:
In the section nut and bolts that connect the body and the trucks are open then bogie and
rail body disassemble and lifted by crane. lifting Crane can bear 150 tone wight. Two
crane-lift lift the body together.
Bogie of Locomotive
Bogie is play an important rolls for the link of rail body and track for the safety and
comfort purpose of passenger. In technical terms bogie called chassis or framework
consisting a wheel attach to a rail vehicle.
Bogies serve a number of purposes-
To support the rail vehicle body.
To run stably on both straight and curved tracks.
To ensure ride comfort by absorbing vibrations and minimizing centrifugal forces
when the train runs on curved tracks at high speeds.
To minimizes generation of track irregularities and rail abrasion
Main Component of bogie are fellow
Bogie is frame itself.
Brake components
Suspension to absorb shocks between bogie frame and rail body.
Two Wheel set with axle at each end and one at the center.
Traction Motor
57. 57
Central Pivot
The central pivot is located on the front side of the frame to allow for a certain level of
rotation of the train. Pivot carries about 60% of direct load and acquires and transmits
gravity and braking.
The pivot bowel and loading area are lined with grease for its line. The middle pivot is
checked for appearance. The central pivot pin connects the body to the bogie and transmits
the bogie 'gravity and brakes. It has silent rubber trees that help keep bogies in line with
the body and control and reduce angular oscillations of the bogies to some degree.
Traction Motor:
Traction motor is one of the key features of a diesel train, which plays a key role in the
smooth running of the train. The function of the locomotive engine is to convert
electrical energy into mechanical power around the train wheel. The transfer of
equipment is not recommended / incorrect on the train due to the size and weight of the
train, the gears large enough to control it can be too large and too large to operate.

Final Inspection
Final testing is one of the most important parts of a bogie and coach care because if there
is a disagreement, the wrong combination or size is gone or a little tolerable so it can be a
big risk. To avoid such an accident, a final examination should be done carefully.
4.2.1.2Project Carried Out in the Rehabilitation Shop
Rehabilitation Maintenance Loco Engines
Rehabilitation maintenance of loco engines has two major schedule types:
Preventation Maintenance
Schedule shed Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance of the PR Locomotives
The efficiency of trains depends on the reliability and availability of trains. Proper and
efficient train maintenance is the foundation of cost-effective train operations. Care
procedures have emerged from the basic principle that the necessary attention should be
paid to all assets before they deteriorate due to aging which makes them prone to failure.
This is known as maintenance retention. Train block maintenance can be broadly divided
into two headings, namely, periodic adjustments and schedule adjustments.
PR Steam and Diesel Locomotives
The life expectancy of steam and diesel trains is 40 and 36 years, respectively. Due to the
longevity of life, it is important that both assets are stored properly and periodically to
ensure that there is no deterioration in their condition. The maintenance of steam and
diesel trains is done as follows.
59. 59
Schedule shed maintenance of PR Locomotives
Various test schedules have been developed as part of protective care so that specific
sections and parts of trains can be given need-based attention from time to time. Test
schedules list all the various aspects that need to be taken into account during repair,
depending on the aging and tear parts. The total number of kilometers that should have
been done before these tests were also specifie
Type of schedule km covered by WP/WG km covered by YP/YG
Schedule I 1600 950-1100
Schedule II Every month -
Schedule III 24,000 20,000
Schedule IV 48,000 40,000
60. 60
Steam locomotives outlines the various types of schedules approved for the maintenance
of steam locomotives based on the total distance in kilo meters covered by the
locomotives.
Diesel locomotives A trip (or weekly) schedule, a fortnightly schedule, a monthly
schedule, a three-month schedule, a six-month schedule, a yearly schedule, a three- year
schedule, and a six-year schedule (POH) have been drafted for diesel locomotives. These
repair programs are based on experience and informed investigations into the causes of
train crashes. Compared to a railroad track, the diesel pump unit is much more complex,
often incorporating an indirect control system with many additional components. As a
result of this great complexity, there is a great deal of inefficiency on the failure of a
particular component. Therefore, in order to ensure a high level of reliability, various
schedules have been developed for testing and maintenance. The 'service' of small
schedules, that is, travel, two weeks, monthly, etc., which includes routine tests, a little
attention, and the like, takes about 4 to 12 hours. Larger schedules take longer, lasting 6
to 14 days, as they require major repairs and replacement.
Electric Locomotives
The schedules for inspection and checks given in Table 24.7 are generally followed on
Pakistan Railways to ensure the proper maintenance of electric locomotives.

after 3 years
IDH 15 days General inspection or intermediate
overhauling
At 600,000 km or
after 6 years
POH 30 days Through overhauling or periodical
overhauling
The frequency and duration of the various schedules are defined after considering the
failure of several trains, the presence of indigenous parts, and the air and dust temperatures
in the country have been considered. Compared to steam and diesel trains, electric trains
include more contacts, relays, and appliances / equipment. Electrical values and changes
in the locomotive state are not physically visible. Therefore, it is important to check
equipment, contacts, and relays periodically to determine the condition of various
equipment without much disruption. Most machines are tested during a four- month test,
therefore, these devices are not included in the annual test. During such inspections,
equipment is disconnected from mechanical equipment, assemblies are stripped and
cleaned, and worn or damaged parts are replaced and reconnected.
62. 62
Travel or weekly or bi-weekly assessments are conducted in outdoor work areas, and all
other schedule assessments, with the exception of POH, are conducted in sheds. POH,
however, is practiced in workshops.
Rolling Stocks
Rolling stock includes locomotives, passenger coaches, goods wagons, and all other
types of coaches & wagons such as electric multiple units (EMUs), diesel rail cars, and
special wagons such as BOX wagons. This section gives some of the details of
passenger coaches and goods wagons.
Classification of railways locomotives
Pakistan Railways classifies locomotives according to horse power, and each locomotive
has its own code number assigned by P.R.
Following is a list of locomotives, along with their numbers.
3000 H.P V-type 16 cylinders’ locomotives
8200 two stroke engine • 4700 two stroke engine • 6000 two stroke engine • 6100 two
stroke engine
2000 H.P V-type 12 cylinders’ locomotives
5001 four stroke engine • 4800 four stroke engine • 4000 two stroke engine • 8000 four
stroke engine • 6200 two stroke engine
1200 H.P V-type 6 cylinders’ locomotive
EMD 645
The EMD 645 is a diesel engine series developed and built by General Motors' Electro
Motive Division. One 16-cylinder v type engine was included in the 645 series, which
was designed primarily for locomotive, marine, and stationary engine applications
64. 64
ENGINE CONTROL UNIT
In the Power Device Section, the Engine Control Unit (ECU) is available (PDC). The
ECU is in charge of the diesel engine under various conditions. When required or ordered
by an engine management system, the ECU also protects the diesel engine from serious
damage by using speed protection and power reduction.
The key functions of the ECU are as follows
Engine speed control
Acceleration and reduction of the limit
High fuel limit
Engine mode control (screaming, running, shutting down, idleness, suspension,
stopping and over speed)
Favorite speed of engine protection, overcrowding, smoke, low oil pressure and
low water pressure)
Time management
Diagnosis.
If certain engine parameters are found outside of the Locomotive Diesel and are
operational, the ECU monitors and detects them. The diesel train is an independent electric
train. Diesel trains operate on the same basis as electric trains in that the crank shaft of a
diesel engine rotates the alternator. They also have electric drive in the form of traction
motors that drive axles and are controlled by electronic controls. Many auxiliary train
systems for cooling, lighting, heating, and braking are also available. It can be called by
the same people. The power station is made up of a large diesel engine and an alternator
that produces the required electricity. A capacity of 1000 liters of fuel is required. Because
a diesel engine cannot pull a train without a large number of gears and collision losses, it
is not possible to drive a train without the use of electric motors. Pakistani railways use
trains.
LOCOMOTIVE EVERSPEED
If the train exceeds the maximum allowable speed (122 kph), a Penalty brake application
is initiated until the train speed is sufficiently reduced.

How Productivity can enhance in a given system
The Pakistan Railways workshop is a very useful organization. One of the best and most
profitable things is that the workshop is completely independent. It does not require any
external vendor or product. This section is full of the power of the Railway Workshop.
The main motivation for the train workshop is to maintain the train, doing its maintenance
from time to time. The organization does its job very well but in a very old way. In the
process of increasing productivity, there are some points raised,
Time management and team communication are very important in all areas. Rail systems
are good but need some upgrades to improve their production and craftsmanship.
The workplace has a very large working and production space as well. Manufacturing
stores such as forging, blacksmith, spring and casting shop. It can be used for external
projects and components. This can increase their profits and popularity.
Productivity can be improved by making a careful assessment of your company’s
(Pakistan Railway) greatest productivity challenges.
For example: High productivity ensures low production costs, high productivity and
efficient use of available resources. The concept of production is gaining popularity
among manufacturers, workers, and consumers.
66. 66
Quality Management system in PR
The quality management system of the Pakistan Railway workshop is excellent. The
workshop has ISO 9001: 2008, which means that the performance is perfectly standard.
They use old techniques but they work to the fullest. They have a proper testing and
evaluation system. This can be further developed through the use of modern techniques.
Safety at Work
The Pakistan Railway workshop is not following any OSHA rules and other safety
procedures. Workers working in during welded without using any helmet and proper
gloves.
In this shop they are not sun glasses for workers to prevent the eyes from metal chips.
There is no fire extinguishers and emergency exit in the rehabilitation shop
Workers are working without safety shoes and gloves.
many their points that can cause of harm of persons and the property also. The safety at
work is very important.
Work Experience in Rehabilitation shop
The main task of the rehabilitation shop is to repair or rehab damaged locomotives so that
they may be used again. We work with Mr. Mansoor, the foreman, who informs us about
all of the primary functions of the rehabilitation shop and its sections. We also visit some
of the accident locomotives and study the locomotive engine's traction motor and cooling
system. We see how they separate the locomotive's pivots from its bogie and elevate the
locomotive's body using a 40-ton horizontal puller crane before resting it on ground fixed
jacks.

4.2.3 Project Carried Out Dismantling of Locomotive
After the train was delivered, for the first time, the nut bolts connected to the body and the
trucks were opened. Then the locomotive body is lifted and the bogies are separated. The
body of the train is lifted over the stand and trucks are dismantled. The motor breaks the
wheels and is sent to a rear shop for engine repairs. Separate the train wheels and send
them to the tire shop for equipment and testing inspectin

77. 77
LUBRICATING SYSTEM
One branch line from the lubricating
system of the
engine is connected to the turbo
supercharger. Oil from the lube oils
system circulated through the turbo
supercharger for lubrication of its
bearings. After the lubrication is over,
the oil returns to the lube oil system
through a return pipe. Oil seals are
provided on both the turbine and blower
ends of the bearings to prevent oil
leakage to
the blower or the turbine housing.
Engine Fuel injectors
Diesel fuel from the injection pump enters the mechanical injector body and starts to build
pressure. Once the pressure is high enough
(about 4,000 psi), a check valve in the
injector is lifted off its seat, and fuel sprays
through. Diesel fuel injectors are quite
complicated; the injector has a high micron
filter on the top inlet side which
corresponds to small hypodermic-sized
holes on the bottom for the atomizing of
the diesel fuel.
Traction motor
Traction motors are powered by electricity and generate the power to rotate the wheels
of the train. The turning force produced by traction motors is transmitted to the wheels
via the driving gear unit and axle. Traction motors are typically mounted in the trucks
where the wheels are housed.

Cooling system of PR Loco
A locomotive radiator system primarily cools the air, water, and oil. The air is used in
the combustion process; the water for cooling the engine and turbo (if equipped); and oil
for lubricating the engine components.

Loco is offered a bogie made. This is a three-dimensional, two-phase suspension with
helical coil springs in the first phase and rubber springs for the second phase suspension
and a pivot of the middle floating type pivot. The bogie frame will be made of a type of
construction box, made from steel plate to IS.2062 grade C.
The body weight of the train car is transferred directly to the bogie frame through the four
"Rubber" "Compression" spring assemblies. The bogie frame is supported by a “soft
basic” suspension consisting of eight pairs of helical coil springs (inside and outside). Two
springs are included in each scale, providing ride quality and balance of tire loads.

How the productivity can be further enhanced in diesel shop?
Pakistan Railways workshop is very practical organization. The one of best and profitable
thing is that the workshop is totally independent. It does not need any external vendor or
productivity. This part is very power full for Railway Workshop. The main motive of
railway workshop is to maintain the locomotive, do their periodic maintenance. The
organization is doing their work very well but in very old technique way. In the way to
increase the productivity, there is some suggested points,
By using the modern equipment and techniques. For example, in the engine block shop
they
still using old telescope for the scoping and alignment. By using modern laser and
graphical techniques, the time and money both can save.
Time management and team coordination is very important in every field. The systems in
railway is good but need some improvement to enhanced their production and creativity.
The productions shops like forging, blacksmith, spring and casting shop. Can be used for
making external projects and parts. This can increase their profit and their popularity.
Quality management
Quality management system of Pakistan Railway workshop is very good. The workshop
has ISO 9001:2008, which means that the working is totally on standard.
They are using old techniques but working with complete standard. They have the proper
inspection and checking system. This can be further increase by applying modern
techniques.
Safety at work
In this shop they are not sun glasses for workers to prevent the eyes from metal chips
during welding or finishing
There is no fire extinguishers and emergency exit in the diesel shop
Workers are working without any safety shoes and gloves.
85. 85
Many other points that can cause of harm of persons and the property also. The safety at
work is very important.
My Work Experience in Diesel Shop
My Work Experience I Supervised different repairing and testing sections in diesel
classified shop. I examine traction motor load testing. Firstly, they fill up the bogie wheel
and its fitting case with high quality grease. And then they run the motor at different load
and speed for specific time to check its vibration or any kind of leakage

Types of Lathe Machines
Lathe machine has other many types
Centre Lathe
Capstan Lathe
Bench Lathe
Turret Lathe
Centre Lathe
Center Lathe is used to make cylindrical shapes from a variety of materials including;
metals and plastics. Many of the components that go into making an engine work have
their own are built using lathes. These may be labels for direct human use (handmade
lathes)or computer-controlled lathes (CNC machines) designed to perform a specific task.
The basic institutional lathe is shown below. This type of lathe is controlled by a convert
various handles on the top slide and cut the slide to make a product / component.
Figure 36Lathe Machine
88. 88
Bench Lathe
Lathe mounted on a workbench. lathe - machine tool for shaping metal or wood; the work
piece turns about a horizontal axis against a fixed tool.
Turret Lathe
The turret lathe is a form of metalworking lathe that is used for repetitive production of
duplicate parts, which by the nature of their cutting process are usually interchangeable.
It evolved from earlier lathes with the addition of the turret, which is an index able tool
holder that allows multiple cutting operations to be performed, each with a different
cutting tool, in easy, rapid succession, with no need for the operator to perform set-up
tasks in between, such as installing or uninstalling tools, nor to control the toolpath. The
latter is due to the toolpath's being controlled by the machine, either in jig-like fashion
via the mechanical limits placed on it by the turret's slide and stops, or via electronically-
directed servomechanisms for computer numerical control lathes.
Figure 37 Bench Lathe
89. 89
Capstan Lathe
A capstan machine is a processing machine used to make the same parts again and again.
The cutting bits are mounted on a rotatable turret known as a capstan, which permits the
client to rapidly change the introduction of the bits for slicing without needing to take off
the first bit and afterward mount the second. A bit of crude material, off and on again
known as a clear, is mounted into the capstan machine and is then spun at high velocity.
The cutting apparatuses, some of the time known as blades, are then used to slice into the
clear to make another shape or outline.

Milling Machine
Milling is the machining process of using rotary cutters to remove material from a
workpiece by advancing (or feeding) in a direction at an angle with the axis of the tool. It
covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small
individual parts to large, heavy-duty gang milling operations. It is one of the most
commonly used processes in industry and machine shops today for machining parts to
precise sizes and shapes.
Figure 39 Turet Lathe
91. 91
Milling can be done with a wide range of machine tools. The original class of machine
tools for milling was the milling machine (often called a mill). After the advent of
computer numerical control (CNC), milling machines evolved into machining centers
(milling machines with automatic tool changers, tool magazines or carousels, CNC
control, coolant systems, and enclosures), generally classified as vertical machining
centers (VMCs) and horizontal machining centers (HMCs). The integration of milling into
turning environments and of turning into milling environments, begun with live tooling
for lathes and the occasional use of mills for turning operations, led to a new class of
machine tools, multitasking machines (MTMs), which are purpose-built to provide for a
default machining strategy of using any combination of milling and turning within the
same work envelope.
Types of Milling Machine
There are three types of milling machine
Vertical Milling
Horizontal Milling
Universal Milling
Vertical Milling
In the vertical mill the spindle axis is vertically oriented. Milling cutters are held in the
spindle and rotate on its axis. The spindle can generally be extended (or the table can be
raised/lowered, giving the same effect), allowing plunge
cuts and drilling. There are two subcategories of vertical
mills: the bed mill and the turret mill.
A turret mill has a stationary spindle and the table is moved
both perpendicular and parallel to the spindle axis to
accomplish cutting. The most common example of this
type is the Bridgeport, described below. Turret mills often
have a quill which allows the milling cutter to be raised and
lowered in a manner similar to a drill press. This type of
machine provides two methods of cutting in the vertical (Z)
direction: by raising or lowering the quill, and by moving
the knee
Figure 40 Vertical Miling
92. 92
In the bed mill, however, the table moves only perpendicular to the spindle's axis, while
the spindle itself moves parallel to its own axis
Horizontal Milling Machine
A horizontal mill has the same sort but the cutters are mounted on a horizontal spindle
(see Arbor milling) across the table. Many horizontal mills also feature a built-in rotary
table that allows milling at various angles; this feature is called a universal table. While
end mills and the other types of tools available to a vertical mill may be used in a
horizontal mill, their real advantage lies in arbor-mounted cutters, called side and face
mills, which have a cross section rather like a circular saw, but are generally wider and
smaller in diameter. Because the cutters have good support from the arbor and have a
larger cross-sectional area than an end mill, quite heavy cuts can be taken enabling rapid
material removal rates. These are used to mill grooves and slots. Plain mills are used to
shape flat surfaces. Several cutters may be ganged together on the arbor to mill a complex
shape of slots and planes. Special cutters can also cut grooves, bevels, radii, or indeed any
section desired. These specialty cutters tend to be expensive. Simplex mills have one
spindle, and duplex mills have two. It is also easier to cut gears on a horizontal mill. Some
horizontal milling machines are equipped with a power-take-off provision on the table.
This allows the table feed to be synchronized to a rotary fixture, enabling the milling of
spiral features such as hypoid gears.
Figure 41 Horizontal Milling
93. 93
Universal Milling Machine
The universal machine can be fitted with various attachments such as the indexing fixture,
rotary table, slotting and rack cutting attachments, and various special fixtures The basic
difference between a universal horizontal milling machine and a plain horizontal milling
machine is the
addition of a table swivel housing between the table and the saddle of the universal
machine. This permits the table to swing up to 45° in either direction for angular and
helical milling operations.
Milling Cutters
Plain milling cutter
Side milling cutter
Form milling cutter
End milling cutter
Face milling cutter
T-slot cutters
Shaper Machine
A shaper is a type of machine tool that uses linear relative motion between the work piece
and a single-point cutting tool to machine a linear tool path. Its cut is
analogous to that of a lathe, except that it is (archetypal) linear instead of helical.
A wood shaper is a similar woodworking tool, typically with a powered rotating cutting
head and manually fed work piece, usually known simply as a shaper in North America
and spindle molder in the UK.
A metalworking shaper is somewhat analogous to a metalworking planer, with the cutter
riding a ram that moves relative to a stationary work piece, rather than the work piece
moving beneath the cutter. The ram is typically actuated by a mechanical crank inside the
column, though hydraulically actuated shapers are increasingly used. Adding axes of
motion to a shaper can yield helical tool paths, as also done in helical planning
