This is probably a Ballast Spreader cum Cess Compactor.The folding plates on the flanks are lowered to give the neat slope to the ballast on the "cess". Posted by Khalid Kagzi on 2007 May 28 04:16:45 +0000 |

All credit for the so called derailment goes to the Gang which was doing the thermit welding, the removal of clamps resulted in the increased width of the track and the inevitable happened. At least it didn't derail when Bizzy Mishra, Pawan Koppa & I were near the truck !!! Dilip Setlur Posted by Gallery Administrator on 2007 May 27 14:54:36 +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. Posted by Rajeev Shrivastava on 2007 May 24 07:55:23 +0000 |

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.

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 catch.
