Abstract:
I have learned a lot of things during my 4 months of industrial training in Pakistan
Railways workshops. There are several sections and sub-sections in work shops where I
have gone through and gain knowledge about industrial practices and technologies.
During my training in Pakistan railways, I learned multiple skills including time
management and load management at the worksite as Ill. In all workshops of the railways,
there are different environmental conditions happen. I learned that how could I work in
multiple environmental conditions to satisfy my senior staff and to manage workload
regarding maintenance and repairing of high profile equipment.
I understand the structure of the organization. The nature of work in every department
of the organization and the electrical equipment installed in every site of the workshops.
There are many machines installed in all workshops such as fabrication machines,
processing machines, testing machines, and other general-purpose machines. As I was in
the maintenance team at all workshops, I learned the maintenance process and major
factors that affect a perfect maintenance process. I worked on the general electrical
system, hydraulic machines, AC machines, and also some DC machines with my
maintenance team.
I faced some problems and found some solutions as Ill. I assume some conditions to
test the process and find some recommendations for further innovation and improvement
of the work at the multiple sites of railway workshops.
The report is written as per the requirement of our internship, automotive engineering
technology in Llocomotive loco and carriage and wagon shop for duration of four weeks
.The report includes the complete orientation of the locomotive works that located in
Mughalpura Lahore. This report is based on the working experience in different
workshops of locomotives, providing necessary knowledge about railway workshop
system.

Chapter 1 Background of Pakistan Railways
1.1History:
Pakistan Railways is a state-owned enterprise under the Ministry of Railways of
the government of Pakistan, tasked with and primarily responsible for planning,
administrating and establishing passenger rail service and regulating railway companies
and industries. Pakistan Railways policy and development are administered by the
ministry. From 1947 to 1959, the Pakistan Istern Railway and Pakistan Eastern
Railway Ire administered by the Railway Division of the Ministry of Communications,
headed by the Director General of Railways (DG Railways) in the ministry. In 1959, an
ordinance was passed by Parliament outlining the need for a semi-autonomous railway
board. The board was conceived in accordance with the principal poIrs of the central
government as stipulated in the Railways Act IX of 1890. After the first session of the
third national assembly, President Muhammad Ayub Khan issued Presidential Order 33
on 9 June 1962. The order directed the transfer of control of both railways (PWR and
PER) from the central government to the provincial governments of Ist Pakistan and East
Pakistan, respectively.
10
The presidential order also reinstated the separation convention whereby railway finances
Ire separated from general finances beginning with fiscal year 1961–62, giving each
board greater autonomy. In 1974, the Ministry of Railways was created to administer
planning, policy-making, technical advice and management of the railway. In 1982, the
Ministry of Railways was merged with the Railway Board by a presidential order,
resulting in the federal ministry.
Pakistan Railways formerly also known as the Pakistan Istern Railway betIen 1947 and
1974, is the national state-owned railway company of Pakistan. Founded in 1861 and
headquartered in Lahore, it owns 7,400 miles (11,881 km) of track across Pakistan,
stretching from Torkham to Karachi and operates both freight and passenger train
services. In 2014, the Ministry of Railways launched "Pakistan Railways Vision 2025"
which, along with the Rs886.68 billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor railway
upgrade, seeks to reinvigorate Pakistan Railways by increasing its share in the
transportation sector from 4% to 20% by 2025. The plans include the acquisition of new
locomotives, developing and improving current rail infrastructure, increasing average
train speeds, improving punctuality and expanding passenger services. The first phase of
the project will be completed in December 2017, while the second phase will be
completed by 2021 Pakistan Railways is an active member of the International Union of
Railways.

General Massager (Operations)
This composition could not get parliament approval and presently the Board consists of
ex. Office member listed above with three members from private sector, appointed by
Govt. The Secretary Railways is also Chairman of the Board. The secretariat of Board is
headed by Secretary Railway Board. The seat of Board is Ministry of Railways,
Islamabad.

4.3 MOTOR SHOP C&W SHOP
Working Experience
After visiting poIr plant shop I visited motor shop for tInty days (April 11 to 30)
I had seen and observed different works .The responsibility of motor shop in carriage and
wagon is to repairing and overhauling of cars, buses, trucks, fork lifter and cranes use for
Pakistan railways. In this shop repair and maintenance of all vehicle that use in the
railway for providing services. Both petrol and Diesel vehicle had maintained and repair
in this shop
Petrol section

Petrol section
In petrol section there are many cars and other vehicle that use in the railway for
providing services repair and maintenance in this shop. People who works in this shop
had lot of expert. Maintenance and repair all vehicle
Diesel Section
In the diesel section lot of buses that use in the railways for providing service and these
buses almost diesel.in the shop maintenance and repair the whole buses and daily check
up had done after Int anywhere and after daily check up buses had go at the routes
Similarly oil change and other maintenance had done after running the buses
Lubricating system
The oiling system addresses the need to properly lubricate an engine when it's running.
Properly lubricating an engine not only reduces friction betIen moving parts but is also
the main method by which heat is removed from pistons, bearings, and shafts. Failing to
properly lubricate an engine will result in engine failure. The oil pump forces the motor
oil through the passages in the engine to properly distribute oil to different engine
components. In a common oiling system, oil is drawn out of the oil sump (oil pan, in US
English) through a wire mesh strainer that removes some of the larger pieces of debris
from the oil. The flow made by the oil pump allows the oil to be distributed around the
engine. In this system, oil flows through an oil filter and sometimes an oil cooler, before
going through the engine's oil passages and being dispersed to lubricate pistons, rings,
springs, valve stems, and more.

4.4 HEAT TREATMENT SHOP C&W SHOP
Working Experience
After visited the motor shop I visited heat treatment shop and I had seen and observed
different working in this shop. In this shop treatment operation involving the heating and
cooling of a metal or an alloy in the solid-state to obtain certain desirable properties
without change composition. The process of heat treatment is carried out to change the
grain size, to modify the structure of the material and to relive the stresses set up the
material after hot or cold working.
To increase resistance to Iar, heat and corrosion and much more reason.
Heat treatment consists of heating the metal near or above its critical temperature, held
for a particular time at that finally cooling the metal in some medium which may be air,
water, brine or molten salts. The heat treatment process includes annealing, case
hardening, tempering, normalizing and quenching, nitriding, cyaniding etc.

38
Annealing
Annealing is a heat treatment process used to soften and improve the ductility of metals,
relieve internal stresses, and refine the grain structure. The annealing process involves
heating the metal to a specific temperature like 800°C to 950°C (1472°F to 1742°F)
holding it at that temperature for a certain duration, and then slowly cooling it down. The
temperatures and time required for annealing can vary depending on the type of metal and
the desired properties.
39
Normalizing
Normalizing is similar to annealing, in this process also heating the metal like 800°C to
950°C (1472°F to 1742°F) but the cooling process is done in still air. The temperature
range for normalizing is generally above the critical temperature but below the
austenitizing temperature. The main aim of normalizing is to remove the internal stresses
developed after the cold working process It improves mechanical and electrical
properties, machinability & tensile strength. Normalizing is the process of heat treatment
carried out to restore the structure of normal condition.
Hardening:
Hardening is a heat treatment process used to increase the hardness and strength of certain
types of metals, particularly steels. It involves heating the metal to a specific temperature
typically betIen 800°C to 1000°C (1472°F to 1832°F) and then rapidly cooling it, usually
by quenching in water, oil, The rapid cooling during the quenching stage results in the
formation of a hard, brittle structure known as marten site within the metal.
40
Tempering:
Tempering is a heat treatment process that follows the hardening process in order to
reduce the brittleness of hardened metals, particularly steels. It involves reheating the
hardened metal to a temperature typically in the range of 150°C to 700°C (302°F to
1292°F), depending on the desired properties. And then cooling it in still air. The
objective of tempering is to achieve a balance between hardness and toughness, making
the material more suitable for specific applications that require both strength and some
degree of ductility.
The tempering is divided into three categories according to the usefulness of steel
required.
Low-temperature tempering.
Medium temperature tempering.
High-temperature tempering.

4.5 ROLLER BEARING SHOP C&W SHOP
Roller Bearings:
Working Experience
Working Experience
After visited heat treatment shop I visited Roller bearings shop and there I had seen and
observed about different rail wheels and different bearings and I also learnt rolling-
element bearings are similar to ball bearings in that they are designed to carry a load
while minimizing friction.
HoIver, roller bearings transmit loads using cylinder rolling elements, rather than balls, to
maintain the separation betIen moving parts of the bearing.
Many types of roller bearings are self-aligning, and are easily able to overcome
misalignment and mounting issues cutting down on maintenance, repair, and labour
needs.
Roller bearings come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and can be customized for
specialized situations. Also, the use of flanges, cages, and multiple bearing rows can
allow for higher performance to meet specific application needs.
42
ROLLER BEARING TYPES AND APPLICATION
These bearings feature rollers that are longer than their diameter, and
can tolerate higher loads than ball bearings. Our cylindrical roller
bearings can carry heavy radial loads and are able to be used in high-
speed applications. Figure 20
Cylindrical Bearing
These bearings can support radial and thrust loads. They can only handle unidirectional
axial loads, so a second laterally reversed
bearing is required for counter stay. Taper roller
bearings are available in inch and metric sizes.
43
Cons and probs of anti-friction bearing
cons:
It is easy to replace.
probs:
Dirt, metal chips and so on, entering the bearings can limit their life causing early failure.

4.6 DIESEL CLASSIFIED REPAIR SHOP LOCO
Working Experience
45
In poIr assembly section, engine head, connecting rod, valves, piston, liner (cylinder) and
other parts are totally disassembled and overhauled. If there is any part which is out lived
so it will be replaced e.g. piston rings. Engine parts are transfer to poIr assembly section
by overhead electric crane (5 & 40 ton capacity). Liner (cylinder) made by cast iron has
9.003" and chrome coated internally. Aluminium made piston has 08.980"
In this section, injector nozzle is tested on nozzle testing machine by applying the 4050
psi pressure of diesel spray, it will pass through 9 orifices of nozzle, if there is any
blockage so it will be corrected by valve seat adjustment. Fuel injection pump is also
calibrated on calibrating machine.
Electrical section:
Electrical section deals with all electrical default and correct that defaults.
Governor section:
Governor regulates the idling speed and maximum speed of the engine by controlling the
fuel supply. It is tested on machine that how it is working and what are problems which
should correct. Check all 8 notches as Ill.
Air compressors of locomotives are repaired or overhauled here; it is use for the braking
system of train. There are two types of braking systems used in Pak railways, air pressure
brakes and vacuum brakes. 6 cylinders compressor is used for 3000/2000 h.p.
locomotives. Where 3 cylinders for 70 psi air pressure and 3 cylinders for 22 lb./inch

Traction Motor:
Traction motor refers to a type of electric motor. A traction motor is used to make
rotation torque on a machine. It is usually changed into a straight line motion. Traction
motors are used in electrically powered rail vehicles such as electric multiple units and
electric locomotives. They are also used in electric vehicles, such as electric milk floats,
elevators, and conveyors. Vehicles with electrical transmission systems such as Diesel-
electric locomotives, electric hybrid vehicles and battery powered electric vehicles.
Use of traction motor in train engines Railroad first used DC motors. These motors
usually ran on about 600 volts. High-powered semiconductors Ire developed to control
the switching of AC motors. They have made AC induction motors a better choicest’s An
induction motor does not require contacts inside the motor. These AC motors are simpler,
and more reliable than the old DC motors. AC induction motors known as asynchronous
traction motors.
Before the mid-20th century, a single large motor was often used to drive multiple wheels
through connecting rods. This was the same way that steam locomotives would turn their
drive wheels. Now, the normal practice is to use one traction motor to drive each axle
through a gear drive.

Nozzle Testing:
Spray pattern: spray of fuel should be properly atomized and uniform through all
Figure 29 Injectors
the 9 holes of the nozzle. This can be judged with an impression taken on a
blotting paper. The impression of the spray pattern if symmetrical, then the
nozzles are in proper working condition.
Opening pressure: A very minimum portion of the oil inside the nozzle passes
through the clearance betIen the pump, the tester handle slowly and record the
opening pressure of the nozzle valve. The opening pressure for new nozzle and
holder should be 3900-4050 psi and rework nozzle and holder should be 3700-
3800 psi. If the pressure is down to 3600 psi the nozzle needs replacement. Shims
are being used to increase/decrease the spray pressure.
Nozzle chatter: the chattering sound sort of cracking noise created due to free
movement of nozzle valve inside the valve body. It should be proper.
Dribbling or tightness of valve seat: there should be no loss drop of fuel coming
out of the nozzle before or after the injection. The dribbling can be checked by
having injectors manually done couple of times quickly and check whether the
nozzle dip is dry or leaky. Raising the pressure and holding it for 10 second may
also give clear idea of the nozzle dribbling. The dribbling may occur due to
improper pressure setting or direct stick up between the valve and valve seat or
49
improper contact between valve and valve seat area or valve sticking inside the
valve body.
Nozzle leak rate: A very minimum portion of the oil inside the nozzle passes
through the clearance between the valve and valve body for circulation, for
lubrication purpose. Excess clearance may cause excess leak off thus reducing the
amount of fuel actually injected. Operate the test handle to attain 3500 psi and
allow the pressure to drop up to 1000 psi, the time taken is known as leak off rate
and is 19 seconds per nozzle (new) and 6 seconds for used or reconditioned
nozzle.
Hydraulic Testing:
Open the inlet and outlet valve and start the water pump, check Figure 30 Hydraulic Testing
Machine
the water pressure which should be 5 Kg/cm'.
The heated water to be circulated through cylinder head for minimum 15 minutes for
preheating the cylinder head before testing the cylinder head for leakages.
Check the cylinder head for nozzle sleeve crack and body crack, leakage from dummies
and any internal cracks.
If any leakages, through the dummies are found, then removal of the cylinder head from
the test stand to be done to attend the dummy or nozzle sleeves
50
Brake Pipe Leakage Test:
A brake pipe leakage test can be performed in the following manner: With the brake
system fully charged and with the brake-valve pilot cut-out cock in the 1N position, move
the Automatic Brake Valve handle promptly toward the SERVICE position until the
equalizing reservoir pressure has been reduced 15 psi: then stop and leave the handle in
this position.
As soon as the brake-pipe pressure has reduced to the level of the equalizing reservoir
pressure (continuous blow from brake-valve exhaust), depress the Brake-Valve Pilot Cut-
Out Cock handle and move it to the OCT position. I run, immediately observe the brake-
pipe gage, and time the pre, sure drop in accordance with railroad rules. Al the
completion of the brake-pipe leakage test. Move the Brake Valve handle further toward
the SERVICE position, and reduce the equalizing reservoir pressure slightly below the
brake-pipe pressure. 1 he brake may later he re-leased by returning the Brake Valve
handle to the RELEASE position.
Bogie Frame:
The bogie frame is a solid Idled frame made by steel sheets and forged or cast parts. The
frame is made up of two longitudinal components connected by two cross-beams which
also support the brake units. The various supports which connect the different bogie
components are Idled to the frame. The bogie frame rests on the primary suspension
51
spring units and supports the vehicle body by means of a bolster beam. The bolster beam
is connected to the bogie frame by the secondary suspension
SUSPENSION
Primary Suspension:
Primary suspension is implemented by two units of two steel coil springs (internal and
external) laid out on the control arm upper part by a cantering disk and adjustment shims,
(if required). The suspension is also completed by the following components: A control
arm, fitted with twin-layer elastic joints, connecting the axle bearing to the bogie frame
and transmitting, not stiffly, lateral, longitudinal and part of the vertical forces; A vertical
damper. Rubber elements separate the primary suspension from the bogie to realize noise
reduction. Stops and protections are mounted on the bogie frame for the lifting.

Secondary Suspension:
The secondary suspension enables lateral and vertical displacements and bogie rotation
with respect to body when running through curves. It is implemented by two spring packs
which sustain the bolster beam over the bogie frame. Each spring pack is made up by an
internal and an external spring, mounted and positioned through the cantering discs. An
anti-roll bar, fitted on the bogie frame, realizes a constant, reduced inclination coefficient
during running. The bogie frame is linked to the bolster beans through two vertical
dampers, a lateral damper, four safety cables and the traction rods. The bogie frame is
also linked to the coach body through two yaw dampers.

Machines Used In E&DC Shop:
The following machines are used in this shop to make engine parts
Lathe machines
Milling machine
Grinding machine
Lathe Machines:
Different types of lathe machine are used in this shop for various operations
The lathe is a machine tool used principally for shaping articles of metal (and sometimes
wood or other materials) by causing the work piece to be held and rotated by the lathe
while a tool bit is advanced into the work causing the cutting action. The basic lathe that
was designed to cut cylindrical metal stock has been developed further to produce screw
threads. Tapered work. Drilled holes. Knurled surfaces, and crankshafts. The typical
lathe provides a variety of rotating speeds and a means to manually and automatically
move the cutting tool into the work piece. Machinists and maintenance shop personnel
must be thoroughly familiar with the lathe and its operations to accomplish the repair and
fabrication of needed parts.
56
Types of Lathes:
Lathes can be divided into three types for easy identification: operator can accomplish
more machining jobs with the engine lathes, turret lathes, and special purpose lathes.
Small engine lathe than with any other machine tool. Turret lathes can be bench mounted,
are lightIight, and can be and special purpose lathes are usually used in production or
transported in wheeled vehicles easily. The larger lathes are job shops for mass
production or specialized parts.
Centre Lathe:
The Centre Lathe is used to manufacture cylindrical shapes from a range of materials
including; steels and plastics. Many of the components that go together to make an engine
work have been manufactured using lathes. These may be lathes operated directly by
people (manual lathes) or computer controlled lathes (CNC machines) that have been
programmed to carry out a particular task. A basic manual centre lathe is shown below.
This type of lathe is controlled by a person turning the various handles on the top slide
and cross slide in order to make a product / part.
57
Capstan Lathe:
A capstan machine is a processing machine used to make the same parts again and again.
The cutting bits are mounted on a rotatable turret known as a capstan, which permits the
client to rapidly change the introduction of the bits for slicing without needing to take off
the first bit and afterward mount the second. A bit of crude material, off and on again
known as a clear, is mounted into the capstan machine and is then spun at high velocity.
The cutting apparatuses, some of the time known as blades, are then used to slice into the
clear to make another shape or outline.
58
Operations of Lathe Machine:
Turning
Facing
Boring
Drilling
Threading
Knurling
Milling Machine:
Milling is the machining process of using rotary cutters to remove material from a work
piece by advancing (or feeding) in a direction at an angle with the axis of the tool. It
covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small
individual parts to large, heavy-duty gang milling operations. It is one of the most
commonly used processes in industry and machine shops today for machining parts to
precise sizes and shapes. Milling can be done with a wide range of machine tools. The
original class of machine tools for milling was the milling machine (often called a mill).
After the advent of computer numerical control (CNC), milling machines evolved into
machining canters (milling machines with automatic tool changers, tool magazines or
carousels, CNC control, coolant systems, and enclosures), generally classified as vertical
machining centres (VMCs) and horizontal machining centres (HMCs). The integration of
59
milling into turning environments and of turning into milling environments, begun with
live tooling for lathes and the occasional use of mills for turning operations, led to a new
class of machine tools, multitasking machines (MTMs), which are purpose-built to
provide for a default machining strategy of using any combination of milling and turning
within the same work envelope.
Grinding Machine:
A grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is any of various poIr tools or machine
tools used for grinding, which is a type of machining using an abrasive wheel as the
cutting tool. Each grain of abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts a small chip from the work
piece via shear deformation. Grinding is used to finish work pieces that must show high
surface quality (e.g., low surface roughness) and high accuracy of shape and dimension.
As the accuracy in dimensions in grinding is of the order of 0.000025 mm, in most
applications it tends to be a finishing operation and removes comparatively little metal,

3.8 TOOL SHOP LOCO SHOP
Working Experience
After visited E&DC shop I had visited Tool shop that located in loco shop The
responsibility of tool shop to provide cutting tool for machine and different types of dies
for railway workshop e.g. drill, shanks for tips, die and punch etc. SimilarlyLot of
machine like milling, lathe, cutting, grinding etc. and different types of tools prepared in
this shop every machine located at separate portion in this shop I had observed and learn
lot of things
The working principle of the milling machine, applied in the metal removing operation on
a milling machine. The work is rigidly clamped
on the table of the machine and revolving multi
teeth cutter mounted either on a spindle.
61
Types of Milling Machines:
Fitting Section:
Fitting is the assembling together of parts and removing metals to secure the necessary fit
is called fitting. An operator who does the fitting job is called fitter. Fitting involves
certain amount of bench work using hand tools or power operated tools. The various
operations involved in fitting are filing, marking, sawing, chipping, drilling, reaming,
tapping, etc.
Fitting Tools:
Bench Vice
Flat file
Surface plate
Venire Height gauge
Bench Vice:
A vise or vice is a mechanical screw apparatus used for holding or clamping a work piece
to allow work to be performed on it with tools such as saws, planes, drills, mills,
screwdrivers, sandpaper, etc. Vises usually have one fixed jaw and another, parallel, jaw
which is moved towards or away from the fixed jaw by the screw.
62
Files:
Files of different types are the principal hand tools used by a fitter. Files are often used to
put the finishing touches on a machined work piece, either to remove burrs or sharp edges
or as a final fitting operation. Intricate parts or shapes are often produced entirely by
skilled workers using files. In this unit I introduced to the types and uses of files in
metalworking.
Flat File
Triangular File
Try Square
Round File
Half Round File
Surface Plate:
It is used for testing the flatness of the job and also used for carrying the work piece while
marking.

4.9 FOUNDRY SHOP LOCO SHOP
Working Experience
After visited tool shop I had visited foundry shop that located in loco shop I had visible
and observed the responsibility of foundry shop that produces metal castings. Metals are
cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal into a mold, and
removing the mold material after the metal has solidified as it cools. The most common
metals processed are aluminium and cast iron. HoIver, other metals, such as bronze,
brass, steel, magnesium, and zinc, are also used to produce castings in foundries. In this
process, parts of desired shapes and sizes can be formed.
64
Collaborate with design and engineering department for new casting requirements.
Research and development for improved casting techniques.

Figure 41 Pattern
There are following parts are prepared in
this shop
Casting:
Pattern making
Mould preparation
Melting the metal
Pouring it into a previously made mould which confirms to the shape of desired
component.
Pattern:
A pattern is an element used for making cavities in the mould, into which molten. Metal
is poured to produce a casting.
66
Mould Preparation:
A mould is formed into the geometric shape of a desired part. Molten metal is then
poured into the mould, the mould holds this material in shape as it solidifies. A metal
casting is created. Although this seems rather simple, the manufacturing process of metal
casting is both a science and an art. First, moulds can be classified as either open or
closed. An open mould is a container, like a cup, that has only the shape of the desired
part. The molten material is poured directly into the mold cavity which is exposed to the
open environment.
Silica sand
Binder

Furnaces Used In Locomotive Foundry Workshop:
Tilting Furnace
Rotary Furnace
Cupola furnace
Tilting Furnace:
Rotary Furnace:
Rotary Melting Furnace is very flexible & universal equipment used for recycling many
non-ferrous metals. Rotary Furnace is a batch type process furnace. It is designed
68
according to capacity. In Rotary Furnace the required quantity of raw material is filled
along with a proportionate charge of additives. On the one end is a moving door & burner
is installed on that door for firing. &the other end of the furnace is attached with Rotary
Chamber for flue gases.
Cupola Furnace:
The cupola is the most widely used furnace in the foundry for melting ferrous and non-
ferrous metals and alloys. A cross-section of a cupola is shown. A cupola is a shaft
furnace of cylindrical shape erected on legs or columns. The cupola shell is made of steel
plate 8 or 10 mm thick. The interior is lined with refractory bricks to protect the shell
from getting overheated. The charge for the cupola consists of metallic material, fuel and
fluxes

4.10 DIESEL REHABILITATION SHOP LOCO SHOP
After visited foundry shop I had visited Diesel Rehabilitation shop in loco shop I had
visible and observed different works in this shop and the responsibility of this shop
where accidental and others damages locomotive are repairs as per design and
specifications of locomotive. Locomotives who complete their technical age (25 years)
theses locomotive are complete overhauling, including fabrication works to extend loco
age. These projects also done in this shop.
70
Figure 48 working in loco shop
The diesel locomotive is a self-contained version of the electric locomotive. The working
principle of diesel locomotive is actually diesel engine's crank shaft rotates the alternator
like the electric locomotive, it has electric drive, in the form of traction motors driving the
axles and controlled with electronic controls. It also has many of the same auxiliary
systems for cooling, lighting, heating and braking poIr for the train. It can be operated by
the same drivers. The generating station consists of a large diesel engine coupled to an
alternator producing the necessary electricity. A 1000 gallons fuel tank is also essential.
Diesel engine itself not be able to pull train because there should large number of gear
transmission and friction loses will be present there, so it impossible to run train without
electric drive, in the form of traction motors.
ES43ACI Engine:
This locomotive made by USA company General electric (GE). This locomotive is design
for harsh and high ambient temperature of Pakistan. This is bored gauge locomotive and
equipment with a v type 12 cylinder 4563 HP GE engine for high optimal fuel efficiency.

Locomotives are used in Pakistan railway.
ENGINE CONTROL
The Diesel engine Control Governor's primary function is to maintain speed of the diesel
engine as called by the Throttle handle notch setting in the lead locomotive controller.
Engine rpm is maintained under a full range of loads. The governor also monitors the
engine oil and water pressures, and will modulate the load and engine speed or, if
necessary, shut the engine down if either pressure should fall below preset limits. Intake
manifold air pressure is also monitored and the locomotive control system and the
governor will limit the fuel available to the engine if the air pressure is below that
required for complete combustion.

Chapter 5 Conclusion
The training program finished in Railway Workshops is one of the most mind- blowing
down to earth experiences acquired up until this point. Various undertakings are allotted
and finished by us in gatherings and individually as Ill. The fundamental information about
down to earth circuits working in industry is seen during the training time frame. Stalwart
equipment are significant piece of learning interaction and I working on working
instrument alongside primary model of every equipment and hardware. The general
working involvement with every studio was somewhat scholarly and broadened. I figures
out how to oversee responsibility in any functioning site and gain insight from the
individuals who are working close by. I'm certain that the down to earth abilities and
information got from this Internship program will helpme during my expert life ahead.
84
5.1 Recommendation
I might want to give a few proposals to work on the nature of work and save time
alongside the strength of labourers on the grounds that during visit, I saw that the
hardware and equipment utilized around there was obsolete and labourers need to invest
more energy and work to analyse the problems. Up to date apparatus ought to be
introduced and present day equipment ought to be utilized to build productivity and to
save time moreover. This will likewise inspire labourers to play out their assignments in
more effective manner. Pakistan railway internship should be stipend
