Executive Summary'CRB vide his D.a.No. 2001/CRB/Misc.l5 date 4.9.2001 directed ROSa to form aCommittee with representatives from Track, Traffic, Electric Traction and Diesel Traction tostudy and submit a <strong>report</strong> which should look into <strong>the</strong> problems <strong>of</strong> frequent stalling,· requirement<strong>of</strong> additional power and its cost implications. As per this letter under powering <strong>of</strong> trains result in<strong>the</strong> following disadvantages: -: i) Low average speed resultinq in loss <strong>of</strong> line capacity and lower engin'e and wagonutilization;ii) Problem <strong>of</strong> loco maintenance;iii) Damage to <strong>the</strong> track in <strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> wheel burns and lower maintainability <strong>of</strong> track dueto heavier longitudinal forces.Rosa accordingly formed a Committee consisting <strong>of</strong> EDI<strong>TFC</strong>. ED/MP, Sr.ED/Elec.Loco,and EOffrack to assess <strong>the</strong> extent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> problem being faced in <strong>the</strong> field and give solutionsaccordingly.The Committee collecterl <strong>the</strong> details <strong>of</strong> stalling cases from all <strong>the</strong> Railways. The averagestalling cases on all Indian Railways (excluding E. Railway) are about 3.6 per day. The problemVias found effecting S.E. Railway <strong>the</strong> most. SUbject <strong>of</strong> stalling <strong>of</strong> 58 BaXN in Bilaspur andt..Jagpurdivisions. was earlier studied by ROSa and a <strong>report</strong> No. IR 73 (Nov., 98) was sent toRailway Board.tFor <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> present study it was, decidedthat as a sample case Bilaspur divisionshould be taken up again for in depth study to see <strong>the</strong> trends <strong>of</strong> stalling cases over <strong>the</strong> yearsand steps taken for reductionin stalling <strong>of</strong> freight trains as this division has got predominantgradients <strong>of</strong> 1: 100 to 1:250 in its jurisdiction.' A Committee <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficers from Track, Electric Locoand Traffic Directorate visited Bilaspur division and had detailed discussionswith <strong>the</strong> divisional<strong>of</strong>ficers and staff associated with <strong>the</strong> rlJnnin~ f ,rains. The division has shown a uniqueexample <strong>of</strong> reducing stalling cases from 36B in <strong>the</strong> y~ar 1998-99 to 27 cases in <strong>the</strong> year 2000-01, without major financial technical inputs.


i) Improvement in enginemanship;ii) Availability <strong>of</strong> working sanding gears;iii) Use <strong>of</strong> WAG7 (in place <strong>of</strong> WAGS) as banker;iv) Use <strong>of</strong> dynamic braking;Rosawhile examining <strong>the</strong> problem from a technical point <strong>of</strong> view feels that <strong>the</strong> earlier loadtables issued were inadequate because <strong>the</strong>y were based on <strong>the</strong> following conditions:i) Fair wea<strong>the</strong>r conditions i.e. dry rail conditions,ii)Tangent track Le. straight track without any curvature,iii) Adhesions values - taken corresponding to standard track conditions,Iiv) Track maintained to standard conditions.Besides this, in case <strong>of</strong> BaXN wagon loading is permitted up to CC+2 t; <strong>the</strong>refore load <strong>of</strong> 58BOXN rake is being considered as 4850 t as against existing 4700 t. Hence revised loadtables have been issued for both diesel and electric locos.The cost implications however, for following <strong>the</strong> revised load tables will be high. S.E.Railwayvide <strong>the</strong>ir letter No. 48/4 dated 7.3.2001 has asked for additional 130 electric and 40 diesellocos for following <strong>the</strong> existing ROSa load tables. The same may fur<strong>the</strong>r increase if revisedload tables are used. Average additional loco cost is Rs. 3.75 ~rores and homing sheds forabout 100 locos will cost a<strong>no</strong><strong>the</strong>r Rs. 10 crores.Besides this, we should also take into consideration <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>of</strong> bridges on<strong>the</strong> section, as double-headed operation is <strong>no</strong>t permitted on certain BGML spans. Theapproximate.cost l cti streng<strong>the</strong>ninQ n~~ 8r.11 pf ~5.7 m BGML girder brid~e as per ROSa'sspecifications has been worked out as Rs. 12.50 lakhs.These additional costs might <strong>no</strong>t commensurate with <strong>the</strong> advantages gained except inreducing <strong>the</strong> cases <strong>of</strong> rail burns (extra cost incurred on Bilaspur division during <strong>the</strong> last 4 .years in replacing burnt and scabbed rails is rough~ ·Rs. 14:4~Ocrores) a~dincreasing line

1.0·Introduction:Adequate powering <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> freight trains is an issue, which has been <strong>of</strong> concern to railwaysall along, especially fo-r <strong>the</strong> graded sections. Though powering <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> trains is broaqlybased on <strong>the</strong> loco load haulage charts, arriving at acceptable loads for a particular sectionis a tight ropewalk between loco haulage capability, operational constraints andinfrastructurallimitations. Whereas under powering will mean low average speeds, stalling<strong>of</strong> loads resulting in loss <strong>of</strong> line capacity, slogging <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> locos resulting in low reliabilitynnd availability, wheel burns and damage to track calling for premature replacement whileon <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, providing adequate cushion on every stretch may call for, far morelocos than used at present and consequently lot more infrastructure requirements by way<strong>of</strong> maintenance facilities etc. requiring heavy financial investment. In this scenario,judicious decisions are called for 'keeping both health <strong>of</strong> costly assets and financialposition <strong>of</strong> Railways in mind.Though railways have fixed loads, on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> past experience and on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong>trials cunducted, many times <strong>the</strong> trailing Icads have been found to be exceeding <strong>the</strong>prescribed limits. Also sometimes <strong>the</strong>re is wide disparity in 4!,'IC loads for similar class cflocomotives.With above background, a study has been taken up as directed vide CRB's D.O. No.2001/CRB/MISC.lS dated 4.9.2001 (copy enclosed as Annexure <strong>no</strong>. I ).In this <strong>report</strong>,concept <strong>of</strong> loco haulage capabili~1 and factors affecting it, load haulage charts for differenttrack and wea<strong>the</strong>r conditions, minimum speed at which a loco should approach a gradientand <strong>the</strong> maximum length <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gradiel'lt, which a loco can clear with.out stalling, arediscussed. This will help railways to analyse <strong>the</strong> local conditions realistically and arrive atcorrect trailing loads rationally.I2.0 Incidences <strong>of</strong> stalling & data collection:To assess <strong>the</strong> extent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> problem being faced in <strong>the</strong> field, all zonal railways lVererequested to provide details <strong>of</strong> stalling cases along with sectional details, loads <strong>of</strong> trains,types <strong>of</strong> locos used etc. vide RDSo's letter No.96/<strong>TFC</strong>/210/Catch Siding dt. 13.9.2001(copy enclosed as Annexure No.n ). ,All railways have responded except E.R. Summary<strong>of</strong> stalling cases over various zonal railways are attached as Annexure <strong>no</strong>. Ill. If totalstalling cases are averaged out on daily basis, it is found that <strong>the</strong>re are about 3.6 cases.per day <strong>of</strong> freight trains stalling over all Indian Hailways (exclusive <strong>of</strong> ER).It seems that all cases <strong>of</strong> actual stallihg may <strong>no</strong>t have been <strong>report</strong>ed - some might havebeen <strong>report</strong>ed under o<strong>the</strong>r categories like 'miscellaneous' etc. and some might <strong>no</strong>t havebeen <strong>report</strong>ed or highlighted at all. The actual Incidences may be much higher. Asproblem <strong>of</strong> stalling <strong>of</strong> trains seriol,lsly affects operation, a review is called for studyingexisting load tables, actual loads <strong>of</strong> trains ve,.~us types <strong>of</strong> locos to be utilized, effect <strong>of</strong>curves, & adverse wea<strong>the</strong>r conditions, length <strong>of</strong> gradients etc. on hauling capacities <strong>of</strong>locos afresh.

In most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cases bankers were provided.SecunderabadDivision:9 cases have taken place during <strong>the</strong> period in KZJ-BN section (ruling gradient 1 in 100).This is electrified traction area and locomotives used are WAG? (for loads up to 3333tonnes). WAG7 multiple unit and WAG5 multiple unit (for loads up to 4750 tonnes).Bankers were provided in all cases.S.E.Railway have provided position <strong>of</strong> freight train stalling cases for <strong>the</strong> years 1998/99.Current figures for <strong>the</strong> year 2000 & 2001 have <strong>no</strong>t been made available. Position <strong>of</strong>Bilaspur Division is available up to October'2001, as this division has been studied indepth as sample case, as discussed in Para-4. Detailed current position <strong>of</strong> Khurda RoadDivision has been obtained separately.ISummarised position <strong>of</strong> stalling cases. divisionwiseis as follows:IAdra DivisionChakradharpur Div. -Kharagpur Div.Waltair Div.Nagpur Div.Sambalpur Div.Khurda Road Div.-Bilaspur Div.41 cases (<strong>January</strong>'99 to September'99)19 cases (<strong>January</strong>'99 to June'99)09 cases (JarlUary'99 to June'99)06 cases (December'9? to November'98)56 cases (<strong>January</strong>'99 to December'99)28 cases (April'98 to February'99)52 cases (May'2001 to August'2001)27 cases (April'2000 to March'2001)From <strong>the</strong> analysis, it comes out that maximum numbers <strong>of</strong> stalling were taking place onBilaspur division followed by Khurda Road, Nagpur & Adra divisions. Cases <strong>of</strong> stalling inKharagpur, Chakradharpur and Waltair Divisions are comparatively less, In BilaspurDivision, <strong>the</strong>re were 368 cases <strong>report</strong>ed in <strong>the</strong> year 1998-99, 156 in <strong>the</strong> year 1999-2000,27 in <strong>the</strong> year 2000-2001 and only 8 (26 if cases under miscellaneous category are alsoincluded) in <strong>the</strong> year 2001-<strong>2002</strong> (up to October). Number <strong>of</strong> cases, which weresignificantly high on both main line,. and CIC section <strong>of</strong> Bllaspur division have beencontrolled due to number <strong>of</strong> factors as discussed in Para -4.1Stalling <strong>of</strong> freight trains has been <strong>report</strong>ed in Ajmer, Kota and Ratlam divisions <strong>of</strong> WesternRailway. -


In one year (from September 2000 to August 2001), maximum number <strong>of</strong> slallin~ casesi.e. 8 has been <strong>report</strong>:=d in HP-BAR section (On line), which has a ruling gradient <strong>of</strong> 1 in150 with maximum 2.5 0 curve. 4 cases each <strong>of</strong> stalling took place in MOI-KTR (Up line) .and NANA-KVJ (Up line). Bankers were used for clearance after stalling. Maximum loadpermitted in Ajmer Division is 3280 tonnes with WDM2 Loco and 32~0 tonnes with WDG2loco. . .In Kola Division maximum cases <strong>of</strong> stalling occurred in Kanwalpura (KIW)-Dara (DARA) inKota-r\Jagda Section (On line) which has a ruling gradient <strong>of</strong> 1 in 195 with maximum 4.5 0curve. D8tail <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r stalling cases is - 9 cases in CMU-SGZ (On line) and 8 cases inI\Jr'-JW-LRU(On line). No neutral section has been provided in <strong>the</strong> gradient section. Herealso bankers were used to clear <strong>the</strong> section after stalling.In Ratlam Division maximum number <strong>of</strong> stalling cases occurred in Limkhera (LMK) toJetok (JKT) in Godhara-Dahod section, which has a ruling gradient <strong>of</strong> 1 in 150 withmaximum 2.5 0curve and length <strong>of</strong> gradient being 20 kms. 40 BCN load with WAG5 arebanked on GDA-RTM (On line).3.0 Previous study on stalling:Subject <strong>of</strong> stalling <strong>of</strong> 58 BOXN trains in Bilaspur and Nagpur Divisions <strong>of</strong> South EasternRailway was earlier studied by RDSO and a Report No. IR-73 November 1998 on 'Study<strong>of</strong> train stalling <strong>of</strong> 58 BOXN hauled by single WAG7 locomotive in Nagpur and BiJaspurDivision <strong>of</strong> S.E.Rail"v;:l-Y'was sent to Railway 8C"ard vice letter No. EU3.1.39 dated10/12/88.

VI)' Running <strong>of</strong> 58 Box 'N' rake should be closely monitored during <strong>the</strong> rainy.season as <strong>the</strong> gross weight (~C+2=484LI T) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> train is expected to increaseby about 1 to 2T pet wclgon due to accumulation/absorption <strong>of</strong> water in coalload, fur<strong>the</strong>r worsened by loss in adhesion.For <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> present study, it was decided that as a sample case, Bilaspur Divisionshould be taken up again Jor in-depth study to see <strong>the</strong> trends <strong>of</strong> stalling cases over <strong>the</strong>years & steps taken for reduction in stalling <strong>of</strong> freight trains as this Division has gotpredominant gradients <strong>of</strong> 1 in 100 to 1 in 250 in its jurisdiction. In depth analysis <strong>of</strong> KhurdaRoad Division, which is predominantly die~el traction, has also been carried out.4.0 Study <strong>of</strong> Bilaspur Division <strong>of</strong> South Eastern Railway:Bilaspur Division is <strong>the</strong> major Coal loading division <strong>of</strong> Indian Railways. Coal is beingloaded mainly from three areas Le. Korba. Chirimiri - Tigerhill-Bisrampur area and BRJNarea. Maximum numbers <strong>of</strong> coal rakes are loaded in Korba area. Loaded BOXN rakes (onaverage 10 rakes per day) are also received at Jharsuguda point <strong>of</strong>- Chakradharpurdivision. Area is rich in minerals with number <strong>of</strong> coal sidings, steel plants, and cementplants situated in <strong>the</strong> area. Part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> division Le. main line lies on one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> diagonal <strong>of</strong>Golden quadrilateral routes Le.

The "table above shows a substantial reduction in stalling cases over <strong>the</strong> years. Acombination <strong>of</strong> measures - operational restrictions and discipline and provision <strong>of</strong>additional motive power - has resulted in this reduction.-• At 10 locations bankers are provided.• At 15 locations instructions are given to receive <strong>the</strong> train, run through withoutstopping .at Home signal.• No engineering speed restriction <strong>of</strong> less than 50 kmph shall be imposed.

It is <strong>the</strong>combined adhesive force developed by <strong>the</strong> locomotive wheels on <strong>the</strong> rail. The tractiveeffort transforms into draw bar pull after accounting for <strong>the</strong> locomotive resistance, andpulls <strong>the</strong> trailing load.Tractive effort varies ~i!.h <strong>the</strong> speed. The starting tractive effort is determined by adhesionlimit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> locomotive and decides <strong>the</strong> starting load~. Tractive effort at varioL.s speeusdetermines acceleration potential <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> locomotive. Starting tractive effort in itself is afunction <strong>of</strong> locomotive weight and adhesion, higher <strong>the</strong> weight higher <strong>the</strong> T.E and higher<strong>the</strong> adhesion, higher <strong>the</strong> T.E.Though weight is constant for a particular locomotive, adhesion is dependent on number<strong>of</strong> factors and it is always <strong>the</strong> endeavor <strong>of</strong> locomotive designer to achieve as highadhesion as possible to maximize <strong>the</strong> loco capability.A locomotive employs <strong>the</strong> friction drive between <strong>the</strong> wheels and rails, and ma~imum forcewhich can be transmitted by this drive is dependent upon thr-:load carried by <strong>the</strong> drivingwheels and is simply referred,to as adhesion. The full weight <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> locomotive is usua!'yemployed for adhesion and increase in T.E. <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> locomotive without proportionateincrease in weight necessitates that <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> adhesion, <strong>the</strong> ratio between tractive effortand weight, be improved greatly.Drive wheel and rail work as friction gear. In <strong>the</strong> stabilized state <strong>of</strong> torque transmission,<strong>the</strong> tractive effort in <strong>the</strong> starting condition is produced by adhesive friction between drivenwheel and rail. As soon as rolling <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> driven wheel starts, <strong>the</strong> adhesion frk:tion changesto kinematic rolling friction.Both adhesive and kinematic friction and <strong>the</strong>re by tractive effort are dependent on manydesign and external variables. The. factors that affect t~active effort can be broadlyclassified as under.• Locomotive desigf}• Track conditions and rail wr,eel contact• Environmental and wea<strong>the</strong>r conditions

As discussed earlier, <strong>the</strong> load hauling capability <strong>of</strong> a locomotive is dependant on <strong>the</strong>adhesion between <strong>the</strong> rail and <strong>the</strong> wheel.Adhesion values vary significantly under different conditions <strong>of</strong> rail Le. whe<strong>the</strong>r it is dry or'1/(:1 8nd v/ho!h(:r sllnc..Jinghas been carried out or <strong>no</strong>t.

Similar to grade resistance on <strong>the</strong> gradients, on <strong>the</strong> curves, <strong>the</strong> rolling stock encountercurv.e resistance. The curve resistance is significant and is in <strong>the</strong> order <strong>of</strong> 0.4 kg per{annes per degree <strong>of</strong> curvature and can significantly affect <strong>the</strong> loco starting capability.Graded sections are generally associated with curves. A loco, which can start and haul 58UOX N un.1 in 200 qracJient, on a straight section, may <strong>no</strong>t start 50 BOX N on 1 in 200~radi0nt with 4 d&[jree r;urv~. ~!enc.e <strong>the</strong> elemert uf curve resistance Ci:.n play animportant role in <strong>the</strong> stalling or running through <strong>of</strong> a load.Normally, <strong>the</strong> effect <strong>of</strong> curve resistance in a grade is accounted for by designing <strong>the</strong> gradeas 'compensated' or ' <strong>no</strong>n - compe::nsated' grade, Le., a grade <strong>of</strong> 1 in 150 on a straighttrack when compensated for eXisting' curve <strong>of</strong> 4 degree could <strong>of</strong>fer cumulative rollingresistance equal to a grade <strong>of</strong> 1 in 121. -Since <strong>the</strong>re could be a large variety <strong>of</strong> curvesavailable in <strong>the</strong> field, working out loads for each degree <strong>of</strong> curve would <strong>no</strong>t be feasible, itis <strong>the</strong> <strong>no</strong>rmal practice to consider <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> 'compensated gradient' in <strong>the</strong> load tables.But in <strong>the</strong> field <strong>the</strong> gradient posts indicate <strong>the</strong> actual typical gradient level available in <strong>the</strong>spot and it is this value, which becomes <strong>the</strong> guiding factor when fixing trailing loads, whichneeds to be corrected.On <strong>the</strong> BG system <strong>of</strong> IR, <strong>no</strong>rmally a curve <strong>of</strong> more than 4 deg. is rare. Most curves wouldlie somewhere between 0 to 4


6.3.4.2 Length <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Gradient and Approach Speed:Presently <strong>the</strong> load charts only specify <strong>the</strong> maximum loads that a loco can start at differentgradients, on a tangent track, and <strong>the</strong> loads that it can maintain continuously at specifiedbalancing speed on different gradients. While <strong>the</strong> first part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> information is useful andessential, <strong>the</strong> latter part - regarding loads it can maintain at different balancing speeds ona gradient is <strong>no</strong>t <strong>of</strong> great practical significance in regard to fixing up <strong>the</strong> trailing load. Theweight <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> trailing load is primarily determined by <strong>the</strong> starting capability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>locomotive only, but when sec.:tionalcapacity approaches saturatic)n point balancing speedalso assumes importance for generation <strong>of</strong> extra capacity.Important point which is <strong>of</strong> practical value in <strong>the</strong> field is <strong>the</strong> information as to what is <strong>the</strong>length <strong>of</strong> a particular gradient that a loco can clear with <strong>the</strong> given .train load alreadydetermined by its starting load capability consideration as mentioned above. This lengthwill be dependent on two factors: firstly, <strong>the</strong> inherent loco design and its capabilityincluding its Tractive Effort (TE) versus speed characteristics and secondly, <strong>the</strong> attackspeed, i.e. <strong>the</strong> speed at which <strong>the</strong> locomotive approaches <strong>the</strong> start <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gradient.The motive power requirement for clearance <strong>of</strong> different gradients as per actual conditionsavailable in <strong>the</strong> field can be worked out for different train speeds ensuring that <strong>the</strong> tractionmotor currents do <strong>no</strong>t exceed <strong>the</strong> maximum permitted rating etc. <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> locomotive andstalling are avoided.It is <strong>the</strong>refore proposed to include this information also in <strong>the</strong> load charts, in future, forguidance, for smoo<strong>the</strong>r train operations.For various approach speeds, feasibility <strong>of</strong> clearing 58 BOXN loads, maximum stretdl thatcan be cleared and balancing speed are evaluated through computer simulation. lhasehave been worked for four critical gradients, viz., 1in 100, 1in 150, 1 in 200 and 1in 250,both for tangent track and 2.5 degree curve and are shown in Annexure No.VII.It will greatly assist in laying 'down operational guide lines like judicious imposition <strong>of</strong>speed restrictions, location <strong>of</strong> stop/warning signals, need for run through operation at <strong>the</strong>specific locations, provision <strong>of</strong> bankers etc.6.3.5 Based eJn <strong>the</strong> above discussion <strong>the</strong>reforu, taking into account <strong>the</strong> aforesaidoperating/field conditions, <strong>the</strong> load tables have Leen also drawn for wet rail conditiom with -2.5 0 curve for <strong>the</strong> different diesel and electric locos and are shown in Annexure No. VI.The incidences <strong>of</strong> wheel burnt rails / scabb~d r~i1s take place due to continuous \<strong>the</strong>elslipping <strong>of</strong> loco becaw;e <strong>of</strong> inadequate motive p6wer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> locomotive vis-a-vis 10addemand and efforts on <strong>the</strong> part <strong>of</strong> driver to pull <strong>the</strong> train and clear section in such ad'eiseconditions.

7.2.2 The restricfions for double-headed 'operation <strong>of</strong> WDG2 as per speed certificate No.H SD.WDG2.11 dated 27.12.95 are as under:~ 2.2.3 - Double headed operation is permitted on MBG and RBG spans except for12.2 m RBG span where dispersion <strong>of</strong> longitudinal forces should be ensured interms <strong>of</strong> clause 2.8.2.3 <strong>of</strong> Bridge Rules. BGML bridges may be checked for <strong>the</strong>irsuitability for MBG loading in terms <strong>of</strong> guidelines issued for same by ROSa andsubsequent letter No. CBS/DOW dated 31.8.94:Based on revised values <strong>of</strong> TE & BF <strong>of</strong> WOG2 advised as 40.5t and 11.7t (MP Dte's NoteNo. SD.POL.12.8 dated 02.&:2000) double:'headed operation <strong>of</strong> WDG2 is constrained asIunder: .."8GML spans <strong>of</strong> 31.9m and 47.3m (effective) are prollibited."The clearance with regard to' bridges refers to standard design <strong>of</strong> girders, slabs. pipes.culverts, piers and abutments etc. issued by ROSa for BGML, RBG and MBG-1987standard loadings. The constrains specified in 7.2.1 & 7.2.2 above do <strong>no</strong>t include <strong>the</strong><strong>no</strong>n-standard bridges including those to GC loading.7.2.3 The above restriction is necessary to limit <strong>the</strong> longitudinal track forces to 60 t <strong>of</strong> TE ,on such bridges.Additional Member/Electrical's suggestion received vide D.O. No. 2001/Elect (TRS)/440/6dated 17.9.2001 to overcome bridge constraints for multiple operation <strong>of</strong> locos byproviding switch to limit TE on bridges is <strong>no</strong>t considered acceptable for safety <strong>of</strong>permanent vital assets like bridges. Therefore bridge strengtf-tening will be necessary.All those bridges, which do <strong>no</strong>t conform to ROSa. design. <strong>the</strong> superstructure. bearingsand substructure including foundations, are to be checked by Railways on condition basis(case by case) befo,~eevolving <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>ning/modification for such bridges asit may vary considerably. However. tne appruximate cost per span <strong>of</strong> 45.7m span i3GMLgirder bridge. requiring modifications, has been worked out as Rs. 12.50 lacs.8.0 Summary <strong>of</strong> Discussions & Recommendations:The issues dealt primarily in this <strong>report</strong> are:1.

New sets <strong>of</strong> tables - one based on standard conditions anj<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r on adverse conditions (taking into consideration <strong>the</strong> wet rDil conditions and 2.5 0<strong>of</strong> curvature) are beir~~rissued. O<strong>the</strong>r factors like conditiol"ls <strong>of</strong> track have <strong>no</strong>t been take ninto consideration as it is hoped that all <strong>the</strong> adverse factors will <strong>no</strong>t occur toge'lher.8.3.1.2 ROSO's guidelines for approach/attack speed versus maximum negotia blegradient length are attached in Annexure No. VII.8.3.1.3 While deciding <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> banker, vis-a-vis- double heading, it will be pragma ticto have multiple heading when <strong>the</strong>re are stretches <strong>of</strong> steeper gradients throughout <strong>the</strong>section as banking <strong>of</strong> trains on graded sections can lead to transport bottlenecks by way<strong>of</strong> banker movement, loss <strong>of</strong> time in attaching/detaching <strong>of</strong> bankers etc. but when <strong>the</strong>same (graded section) is limited to one or two sub-sections, provision <strong>of</strong> banker iseco<strong>no</strong>mical so that overall hauling capacity does <strong>no</strong>t remain unutilized during most ollherun.Double-headed operation is <strong>no</strong>t permitted on certain BGML spans, This restrictionis necessary to limit <strong>the</strong> longitudinal track force to 60 t <strong>of</strong> TE. Hence, for running <strong>of</strong> dOJbleheaded trains on those bridges, which do <strong>no</strong>t confirm to <strong>RDSO's</strong> design, <strong>the</strong> superstructure, bearings and sub-structure including foundation should be streng<strong>the</strong>ned. Theapproximate cost per span <strong>of</strong> 45.7m span BGML girder bridge, has been worked out asRs. 12.50 lakhs.S.E.Railway vide <strong>the</strong>ir letter No. 48/4 dated 2/7.3.2001 has asked for an addito nal130 electrical and 40 diesel locos for following <strong>the</strong> existing Rosa load tables (AnnexureNo.1X). The same may ~ur<strong>the</strong>r increase if revised load tables'are used. Average additonalloco cost Rs. 3.75 crores approximately, besides <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> homing sheds that wI bea<strong>no</strong><strong>the</strong>r Rs. 10 crores for every 100 locos. Hence, <strong>the</strong> benefits/returns may <strong>no</strong>tcommensurate with <strong>the</strong> additional investment in <strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> extra locos and streng<strong>the</strong>n ing<strong>of</strong> bridges.8.5 Finally it is concluded that provision <strong>of</strong> adequate power as per <strong>the</strong> technicalsolutions given in <strong>the</strong> present ROSO load tables may give additional benefits in <strong>the</strong> b rm<strong>of</strong> generation <strong>of</strong> extra path ,due to belter/improved balancing speeds and clearanca <strong>of</strong>critical block sections in lesser time (Annexure No. X). This may be advantageous forthose sections, which are operating to near saturation level <strong>of</strong> line capacity. But '<strong>the</strong>nextra capacity is available to run extra trains, decision should be taken judich.J slykeeping in mind <strong>the</strong> financial implications .. However, It is felt that in large number <strong>of</strong> cases, improvement in oper(ti ngpractices as done by Bilaspur division (Para 4.1 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>report</strong>) will greatly help in redLCing<strong>the</strong> incidences <strong>of</strong> stalling <strong>of</strong> freight trains in graded sections at minimal cost.
