Maintenance of ICF Coaches
1.Clear maintenance time of 6 hrs. should be ensured at the Primary end to enable
intensive attention.
2. 100% Brake power shall be ensured.
3. Brake blocks should be changed as bogie sets.
4. All missing passenger amenity fitting must be replaced and the rake must be turned out
as ‘Zero-MissingFitting’ rake.
5. Intensive cleaning of coach toilets shall be ensured.
6. Provision of proper washing cum maintenance pit line facility with adequate testing
equipment and high pressure water cleaning arrangement shall be ensured.
7. Adequate gang strength with proper supervision to ensure intensive attention.
Summary
The 8 weeks training has exposed me to the actual application
of the variables studied. The training period has been very
interesting where I got to know about how to maintain the
coaches in deep assembly and disassemble of wagons and
treatment of sewage water for domestics uses. Each field
required skill handling and training at a given step which will
help me in the long run.
Thank You!
