Or maybe that flat wagon is to shoot a stunt where a biker flies off over an LC and over the only flat wagon in the rake :-) Posted by Roopesh Kohad on 2007 Dec 12 02:54:04 +0000 |

Interesting ! I wonder how this rake(half CBC,half Chain coupler)will behave w.r.t. slack... Posted by Ashwanth on 2007 Dec 11 16:06:17 +0000 |

i didnt thought that a loco is this much complicated.great set of pics and detailing...would like to know more about the tech aspects...so expecting more from u Khalid sir... Posted by Deepak Murali on 2007 Dec 11 15:49:12 +0000 |

In fact its the same with the Control Circuit Breaker to the right.Only one pole is utilised.This is probably the safer option to keep the negative permanently grounded to the loco frame to prevent any unwanted potential from appearing on the loco frame.Inspite of needing only one pole,the more reliable MCCB has been used probably because it can interrupt heavy DC currents safely and also has intelligent tripping options unlike the simpler Miniature Circuit Breaker(MCB)fitted in the top row.

In these four wheeler oil tankers,there are two versions-one with screw coupling and the other with CBC.The Railways do not allow the direct coupling of these types of wagons.Instead a bogie wagon is marshalled between these two types of wagons to maintain stability.This bogie wagon has the two different types of couplings at its ends.

Good coverage on technical aspects of WAG9. Similar key interlock is also used in motor-coaches of AC/DC EMUs in Mumbai. http://tinyurl.com/3435l9 Posted by Prakash Tendulkar on 2007 Dec 10 18:07:31 +0000 |

Thanks for the wonderful snap and the explanation :) Posted by Vrijilesh Rai on 2007 Dec 10 14:52:39 +0000 |
Solid structure downwards of pic. is compressor (to which black air nozzle is connected) which may be of 1 to 2 HP, thing with 'IMP' written and wires running in it with yellow label tags are solenoid valves, structure with 'AQ 15' in middle of pic. is pressure sensor or pressure switch.
