This is a Plasser's Quick Relaying System (PQRS) depot and the machine is a portal crane. Interesting to note that departmental crane is working the depot. On NR, mostly contractors work the depots while the actual relaying at site is done by departmental cranes. The contractors have their own portals for the depot work.

Abhijit, avoid using max zoom of the camera as lens imperfections too get magnified. Just look at the amount of purple fringing in your picture which results from dispersion of small wavelengths of light due to lens imperfections. Nice picture otherwise.

Why aren't the two rails at the same level? Would the wheels travelling on the higher rails experience a thud when going over the lower rails? Having both rails at the same level would also potentially eliminate the panto-lowering and re-raising exercise. Posted by Jagadheep D on 2007 May 21 17:12:42 +0000 |

Good shot. The catenary appears to play to positive role here without cluttering the subject. Posted by M S M Saifullah on 2007 May 21 07:24:27 +0000 |

This is actually a Track Re-laying machine and can lift pre-assembled rail panels upto 39 metres long.It itself runs on a pair of temporary rails laid along the track alignment and places the rail panel on a prepared ballast bed.It can be used to lay new railway lines or for the renewal of long track sections.Even in this picture it has lifted only the top rail panel.It can be used to lift rail panels off a stack of panels or BFR wagons.

I would suggest that such interesting, informative and unique snaps should be preserved on the server. Such a welcome change from the WAP4 and WDM2 locos. Posted by Vrijilesh Rai on 2007 May 18 14:00:03 +0000 |
A high level platform is 760-840 mm high from the rail top. While carrying out track renewals or platform surfacing (or making new platforms), this height often needs rechecking. Maybe that's what is happening here.
