Study Notes
Maintenance, Warranty, and Condemnation
- This chapter provides general information on the frequency of various inspections and maintenance schedules for goods stock on active routes.
- Prescribed periods for POH (Periodic Overhaul) are outlined for different types of stock. Detailed repair practices during POH are covered in separate chapters.
- A table at the end of the chapter summarizes the prescribed intervals for POH and ROH (Routine Overhaul) of wagons.
Warranty Inspection of Newly Built Wagons
- Warranty period for newly built wagons is 24 months, or as specified in the purchase contract.
- Manufacturing defects, including inferior materials, poor workmanship, inadequate protection, and other constructional faults, are covered under warranty.
- A systematic inspection process is outlined to identify warranty-related defects. Wagons must have a warranty legend attached. The legend displays the contract number, commissioning date, commissioning entity, and inspection due/completion dates and the inspecting entity.
- Wagons flagged for warranty inspection should be temporarily removed from the train and sent to a designated sick line for thorough inspection.
- Only defects attributable to the manufacturer (material, workmanship, protection, or other faults) are considered.
Reporting Method
- Detailed reporting requirements are outlined for warranty inspection reports, including specific information fields (contract number, wagon number, ownership, manufacturing date, inspection dates, and type of defect).
- All reports must include a serial number.
- For material failures, reports should be forwarded to the appropriate chemist/metallurgist for detailed test reports.
- Reports must be sent within 20 days of inspection to concerned authorities. A "Nil" report should be filed if no defects are found that are attributable to the manufacturer.
Estimated Cost of Rectification
- No cost estimates for rectification should be included in warranty inspection reports.
- Costs will be communicated by the appropriate party from the Railway Board.
- A written certificate must be included if the defect is due to material/workmanship/protection issues by a contractor.
Maintenance and Records
- A designated file should contain policies, instructions, and intermediate/final inspection documents. An index sheet should track all instructions.
- A separate file should hold all inspection reports.
- A register should maintain data of wagons inspected during the warranty period (date of inspection, wagon number, owner, wagon code, builder name, commissioning date, observed defects, warranty report number and date, and remarks).
Examination and Maintenance Periodicity
- Rolling-in examination must be performed on all terminating trains at stations where a train examining depot exists. Axles examination should be conducted after the train stops.
- A terminating train's load examination will occur as soon as the train stops
- Staff must verify that wagons are fit before train departure. (brake power, level of air pressure, etc)
- Ensure damaged wagons due to impacts during humping are reviewed.
ROH of Air Brake Wagon
- Routine Overhaul (ROH) should be performed at designated wagon depots.
- The procedures for the ROH depend on the type of wagon (e.g., bogie, tank).
- Detailed steps for disassembling, inspecting, and repairing various components are listed.
Wagon Condemnation
- Rolling stock can be condemned by authorized staff using relevant procedures.
- There are different types of wagons with different operational ages. A schedule outlining the codes, types and time in service are provided.
- A list of procedures and criteria is provided for under- or over-aged wagon condemnations. Specific instructions are noted, depending on the type of wagon (air brakes, bogies, tankers, etc.)
Work areas (where attention must be given)
- A table listing various work areas (e.g., body repairs, gear repairs) and corresponding inspection requirements.
- Specific types of work are specified, and their associated locations/frequencies (e.g., inspection of hinges, bolts, wheels, etc.).
