PREFACE

The globe is shrinking. The world is taken over by the technicians. A day after day a new technology arises. A technician without practical knowledge is zero, dont matter how many books you have studied. Practical know how is must to be successful. Industrial training is the bridge for a student that takes him from the world of theoretical knowledge to that of practical one. Training in a good industry is highly conducive for: 1. Development of solid foundation of knowledge and personality. 2. Confidence building. 3. Pursuit of excellence and discipline. 4. Enhancement of creativity through motivation and drive which helps to produce professional and well trained for the rigorous of the job/society. The present report has been done as an industrial training of six weeks for the completion of 4th semester of BTech Mechanical Engineering. During the training I got the exposure to various equipment and machines their maintenance and technology concerning the repairing the Diesel Locomotive and hence was assisted in developing self-confidence. The training helped me in implementing my theoretical knowledge to the actual industrial environment. This training at the NORTHERN RAILWAY DIESEL SHED LUDHIANA is definitely going to play an important role in developing an aptitude for acquiring knowledge hard work and self confidence necessary for successful future.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In these six weeks of industrial training, I wish to my attribute my profound sense of gratitude without whose generous co-operation and co-ordination it would have been highly difficult for me to have such a successful training experience in the organization, in every game of life these are multitude of players whose are the real heroes and this experience there are many loyal and phenomenally selfless friends, co-workers and my bosses in industry, I am overwhelmed. Few tasks are more enjoyable and fulfilling than acknowledging my gratitude to all those, who have helped in this effort in so many ways. I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to the management of NORTHERN RAILWAY DIESEL SHED LUDHIANA of permitting me to observe and study the whole setup of factory. I owe more than a debt of gratitude to Mr. R.P.Ram (Principal), Senior Section Engineer Mr. Kuldeep Rai, and specially Thanks to Mr. Sarbjeet Singh (Mechanic) & all the staff for their corporation & guidance made it possible to complete the work. I am equally thankful to my faculty teacher for providing me this opportunity to work with such a big company.

OVERVIEW

Early internal combustion engine-powered locomotives used gasoline as their fuel. Soon after Dr. Rudolf Diesel patented his first compression ignition engine in 1892, its application for railway propulsion was considered. Progress was slow, however, due to the poor power-toweight ratio of the early engines, as well as the difficulty inherent in mechanically applying power to multiple driving wheels on swivelling trucks (bogies). Steady improvements in the Diesel engine's design (many developed by Sulzer Ltd. of Switzerland, with whom Dr. Diesel was associated for a time) gradually reduced its physical size and improved its power-to-weight ratio to a point where one could be mounted in a locomotive. Once the concept of Diesel-electric drive was accepted the pace of development quickened. By the mid 20th century the Diesel locomotive had become the dominant type of locomotive in much of the world, offering greater flexibility and performance than the steam locomotive, as well as substantially lower operating and maintenance costs. Currently, almost all Diesel locomotives are Diesel-electric.
