Good to see the King of Thull Ghats wandering in south! I think it belongs to New Katni Junction. Posted by Ranjeet Ramaswamy Iyer on 2007 Nov 26 03:47:46 +0000 |

Nice & clear picture. Which shed does the loco belong to? Posted by Ramesh on 2007 Nov 26 03:25:01 +0000 |

Also in view ( extreme right) is the green push button the BPQD. It happens to be my fav button. When the loco is hauling a huge load up a steep gradient a slight wheel slip occurs and if the diff between current of two TMs exceeds 125 amps ( This again is very conservative and needs t be raised to 200 amps at least.) the QD gets energized and regression occurs. However if one keeps BPQD depressed than the QD gets bypassed and no regression occurs. The best thing to do would be to keep BPQD pressed when one wants harsh speed gains.

That lever pointing downwards which is next to the white PVC tank ( which contains water that is sprayed on the wind shield) is used to isolate the front BP and FP angle valves. This needs to be done incase they are damaged due to cattle run over. Posted by Zubin J Dotivala on 2007 Nov 23 04:15:56 +0000 |

That red Button is something like an emergency shut down switch. You can see an arrow mark next to it. The button has to be pressed and than rotated. It shuts down everything. In case some one who follows the policy of "go forth where no man has gone before" and presses the button just to check it out than everything gets shut down.To restart one has to cutoof the batteries in the loco and than restart after a couple of minutes.

That happens to be an ejactor lever. Unauthorised people are hurled out of the loco when that lever is operated ! Posted by Zubin J Dotivala on 2007 Nov 21 01:47:32 +0000 |

Hmmm...quite interesting, so then what will happen if I pull the liver facing downward near the tank at 110 kmph. Posted by Samar on 2007 Nov 20 17:05:39 +0000 |
