The document discusses train maintenance procedures in India. It describes the different types of maintenance schedules for trains, including washing (every 2,500 km), light maintenance every month, heavy maintenance every 3 months, and overhauls every 9-18 months. The document also outlines the different types of coaches used in Indian trains, including ICF and LHB coaches, and summarizes the key differences between them. Finally, it provides a brief overview of how train coaches receive power, including through head-on generation, self-generation, and end-on generation.

3. HISTORY OF INDIAN RAILWAYS
• The first railway proposal for India were made
in madras in 1832.
• India’s first passenger train hauled by three
steam locomotives( Sahib, Sindh, Sultan).
• It ran for 34 km with 400 people in 14 carriage
on broad gauge between Mumbai to Thane.

4. 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

5. COACH CARE CENTRE ANVT

7. WORKS CARRIED IN WASHING LINE
Inspection
Cleaning& washing
Brake testing
Primary Maintenance
Secondary Maintenance
Pantry car provisions
Watering
Loading of linen
maintenance of AC & electrical circuits of coaches

8. BRAKE TESTING IN WASHING LINE
Brake testing is carried by using RTR (rack test rig)
Rack testing rig is capable of testing full train (up to
24 coaches) at a time.

9. PRIMARY MAINTENANCE
 The trains for the primary maintenance are given at least 6 hrs
at the washing line in addition to secondary maintenance
 Oil in hydraulic dash pots
 Wheel profiles are visually examined and gauged
 pest control treatment
 Axle box is examined for grease oozing out from rear cover
 Brake blocks & piston stroke checked & changed

10. SECONDARY MAINTENANCE
The trains for the secondary maintenance are given at
least 2 hrs on the washing line
Linen and pantry car provisions
Washing & cleaning of coaches
Maintenance of AC of coaches

11. 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

12. COACH MAINTENANCE
In coach maintenance generally these work being done
1. testing/maintenance of air conditioner.
2. Maintenance of other electrical circuits like fan light
etc.
3. Buffer maintenance.
4. Brake testing by S.C.T.R. (single coach test ring)

13. 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.

14. BRAKE TESTING
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. SEPARATION OF COACH & BOGIE
After watching the inspection list if bogie needs repair
like filling of oil or changing of brake shoe etc. then
bogie is separated from the coach by lifting through a
crane

17. CHANGE OF DEFECTIVE WHEELS
Wheels of train are subjected to a no of defects i.e.
reduce in the dia. of wheels, Reduce in size of flange,
break of bearing in axle box

22. TYPES OF COACHES
1) ICF (Integrated coach factory).
2) LHB (Link Hoffmen Bush)

27. Difference between ICF and LHB Coaches
ICF
• ICF factory was
established in 1954 in
Chennai.
• In 1955 Production was
start.
• Low Speed (110-
120km/hr)
• Heavy in weight.
LHB
• It was exported in 1999 from
Germany.
• Factories in kapurthala.
• Max speed (200km/hr).
• Low cost and maintainance.
• More space and light in weight.
