This document provides procedures for testing railway wagon brakes. It describes:
1. Performing a rake test using a test rig to check brake functionality across an entire train of wagons, including checking for leaks, applying and releasing brakes, and piston strokes.
2. Conducting a single wagon test using a test rig to test the air brake system on an individual wagon. This includes leakage testing, brake application and release testing, and adjusting slack adjusters.
3. The tools and equipment needed for rake and single wagon testing, including test rigs, pressure gauges, and spanners.
The LHB bogie is a type of railroad freight car truck or bogie. It was developed in the 1950s by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and has become the standard bogie design used on most modern freight cars in North America due its durability and ability to carry heavy loads at high speeds. The LHB bogie features a bolster suspension system, uses fewer parts than previous designs, and helped increase freight car payloads.

INTRODUCTION OF CARRIAGE & WAGON, VARIOUS TYPES OF WAGON TCCW1
This document provides classifications and descriptions of various types of rolling stock used in Indian Railways. It discusses wagons for transporting goods like open wagons for coal and ore, covered wagons for bagged commodities, flat wagons for steel products, and hopper wagons for discharging materials from the bottom. It also describes passenger coaches and different types of bogies used in wagons. Specific wagons are explained including their year of design, payload capacity, suspension type, identification features, and maximum speed.
