Backgrounds of Training Organization
12
When we talk about Pakistan railways industry Pakistan Railway always comes into our
mind with the view as the cheapest mode of transportation but no now is willing to use
this except the poor people or the organizations. The current condition is worse. Today
almost all government corporations of Pakistan are in worst shape but Pakistan Railways
is in really bad condition and costing country huge loses every month. For more than a
century the railroad was the dominant form of land transportation in much of the world.
It was, and still remains the economic backbone of a country.
Pakistan has a total of 220 passenger trains/locomotives and the department has decided
to shut down 102 trains due to financial loses. Today Pakistan Railways with R.s.334
billion liabilities is at the verge of bankruptcy because of corruption, shortage of
locomotives and losses incurred due to the running expenses. According to one report Rs
2.2 billion is spent on wages and pensions every month leaving the department less or
nothing for maintenance of power and rolling stocks.
We have tried to highlight major factors responsible for Pakistan Railway‘s Current
position. For this purpose, we have gathered and analyzed primary data from the students
of Iqra University and residents of Muhammad Ali Society; by conducting a survey. We
have also gathered secondary data from internet and newspapers. We will try to give a
real picture of the about on which report is been written.
Pakistan Railways forms the life line of the country by catering to its needs for large scale
movement of freight as well as passenger traffic. It not only contributes to its economic
growth but also promotes national integration. Pakistan Railways endeavors to run the
trains strictly in accordance to time table. The progressive freight train support
organization operated by professional management and competent staff endeavor to
provide reliable, competitive and economical service of recognized standards to its
customers. Pakistan Railways provides an important mode of Transportation in the
farthest corners of the country and brings them closer for Business, sightseeing,
pilgrimage and education. It has been a great integrating force and forms the life line of
the country by catering to its needs for large scale movement of people and freight.

New lines
New rail lines have been proposed by Pakistan Railways to connect Gwadar Port to
Central Asia, including:
Karachi–Gwadar Railway Line
Gwadar–Mastung Branch Line
Basima–Jacobabad Branch Line
Bostan–Zhob–Dera Ismail Khan Branch Line
Islamabad–Muzaffarabad Branch Line
Jhang Sadar–Risalewala Branch Line
Breaks of gauge:
In Pakistan: 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in)–1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) at Gwadar Port
Outside Pakistan: 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in)–1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in) at Mazar-i-Sharif,
Afghanistan and 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in)–1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) at Kashgar, China.
Track-doubling project:
Over 1,409 kilometres (876 mi) of tracks have been doubled since the track-doubling
project began in the 1990s. Sections of the Karachi–Peshawar Line were first doubled,
since it was the country's busiest and longest line.
Karachi–Peshawar Line:
Kiamari–Lodhran Junction: 843 kilometres (524 mi)
Lodhran Junction–Sher Shah Junction: 72 kilometres (45 mi)
Sher Shah Junction–Multan Cantonment: 15 kilometres (9.3 mi)
Multan Cantonment–Khanewal Junction: 49 kilometres (30 mi)
Khanewal Junction–Sahiwal: 119 kilometres (74 mi)

ALL LABS INTRODUCTION LOCOMOTIVE SHOP
Diesel Classified Shop:
Diesel classified shop deals with the repairing and maintenance of the engines.
The responsibility of diesel classified work shop is overhauling of all locomotives of
Pakistan Railways after every 5 years. There are 5 different sections working for diesel
classified.
16
The Diesel Locomotive
The modern diesel locomotive is a self-contained version of the electric locomotive.
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, braking and hotel power (if required) for the train.
It can operate over the same routes (usually) and can be operated by the same drivers. It
differs principally in that it carries its own generating station around with it, instead of
being connected to a remote generating station through overhead wires or a third rail. The
generating station consists of a large diesel engine coupled to an alternator producing the
necessary electricity. A fuel tank is also essential. It is interesting to note that the modern
diesel locomotive produces about 35% of the power of a electric locomotive of similar
weight.
Diesel-Electric Types:
Like an automobile, a diesel locomotive cannot start itself directly from a stand. It will
not develop maximum power at idling speed, so it needs some form of transmission
system to multiply torque when starting. It will also be necessary to vary the power
applied according to the train weight or the line gradient. There are three methods of
doing this: mechanical, hydraulic or electric. Most diesel locomotives use electric
transmission and are called "diesel-electric" locomotives.
Mechanical and hydraulic transmissions are still used but are more common on
multiple unit trains or lighter locomotives.
Diesel-electric locomotives come in three varieties, according to the period in whichthey
were designed. These three are:
DC- DC (DC generator supplying DC traction motors);AC-
DC (AC alternator output rectified to supply DC motors) and AC
- DC - AC (AC alternator output rectified to DC and then inverted to 3-phase ACfor the
traction motors)..
17
The Schematic figure of the Diesel Electric is given below.
Figure 3 overview
The DC - DC type has a generator supplying the DC traction motors through a resistance
control system, the AC - DC type has an alternator producing AC current which is
rectified to DC and then supplied to the DC traction motors and, finally, the most modern
has the AC alternator output being rectified to DC and then converted to AC (3-phase) so
that it can power the 3-phase AC traction motors. Although this last system might seem
the most complex, the gains from using AC motors far outweigh the apparent complexity
of the system. In reality, most of the equipment uses solid state power electronics with
microprocessor-based controls. For more details on AC and DC traction, see Electric
Traction Power and Electric Locomotives on this site.
Diesel Engine
This is the main power source for the
locomotive. It comprises a large
cylinder block, with the cylinders
arranged in a straight line or in a V.
The engine rotates thedrive shaft at up
to 1,000 rpm and this drives the
transmission is normally electric, the engine is used as the power source for the alternator
that produces the electrical energy to drive the locomotive.
18
Main Alternator
The diesel engine drives the main alternator which provides the power to move the train.
The alternator generates AC electricity
which is used to provide power for the
traction motors mounted on the trucks
(bogies). In older locomotives, the
alternator was a DC machine, called a
generator. It produced direct current
which was used to provide power for DC
Motor Blower
The diesel engine also drives a motor blower. As its name suggests, the motor
blower provides air which is blown over the traction motors to keep them cool
during periods of heavy work. The blower is mounted inside the locomotive bodybut
the motors are on the trucks, so the blower output is connected to each of themotors
through flexible ducting.
Air Intakes
The air for cooling the locomotive's motors is drawn in from outside the locomotive. It
has to be filtered to remove dust and other impurities and its flow regulated by
temperature, both inside and outside the locomotive. The air management system has to
take account of the wide range of temperatures from the possible +40°C of summer to the
possible -40°C of winter.
Rectifiers/Inverters
The output from the main alternator is AC but it can be used in a locomotive with either
DC or AC traction motors. DC motors were the traditional type used formany years
but, in the last 10 years, AC motors have become standard for new locomotives. They are
cheaper to build and cost less to maintain and, with electronic management can be very
19
finely controlled. To see more on the difference between DC and AC traction
technology try the Electronic Power Page on this site.
To convert the AC output from the main alternator to DC, rectifiers are required. If the
motors are DC, the output from the rectifiers is used directly. If the motors are
AC, the DC output from the rectifiers is converted to 3-phase AC for the traction motors.
Electronic Controls
Almost every part of the modern locomotive's equipment has some form of electronic
control. These are usually collected in a
control cubicle near the cab for easy
access. The controls will usually
include a maintenance management
system of some sort which can be used
to download data to a portable or hand-
held computer.
Just like an automobile, the diesel engine needs a battery to start it and to provide
electrical power for lights and controls when the engine is switched off and the alternator
is not running.
20
Traction Motor
Since the diesel-electric locomotive uses electric transmission, traction motors are
provided on the axles to give the final drive. These motors were traditionally DC but
the development of modern power and control electronics has led to the
introduction of 3-phase AC motors. For a description of how this technology works, go to
the Electronic Power Page on this site. There are between four and six motors on most
diesel-electric locomotives. A modern AC motor with air blowing can provide up to
1,000 hp.
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 well.
The governor system is like a cruise control system. It maintains the speed of your lawn
mower or outdoor power products. When Briggs & Stratton governors are adjusted
properly, they keep your speed steady regardless of engine load - the amount of work
the engine must perform. When powering alawn mower, engine load can be affected by
hills or height of grass. For atiller engine, load may depend on depth of the tines while a
chipper‘s load may be affected by thethickness of branches.

Parts prepared in E&DC shop
The following parts are prepared here:
Friction plate
A clutch is a mechanical device which engages and disengages power transmission
especially from driving to driven shaft .In the simplest application, clutches connect and
disconnect two rotating shafts (drive shoreline). In these devices, one shaft is typically
attached to an engine or other power unit (the driving member) while the other shaft
(the drivenmember) provides output power for work. While typically the motions
involved are rotary, linear clutches are also possible. In a torque-controlled drill, for
instance, one shaft is driven by a motor and the other drives a drill chuck. The clutch
connects the two shafts so they may be locked together and spin at the same speed
(engaged), locked together but spinning at different speeds (slipping), or unlocked and
spinning at different speeds (disengaged).
24
Discharge valve
A basic discharge valve serves to regulate the flow of
a substance, making it possible to increase or decrease that flow so that the desired
outcome is achieved. For
example, this type of valve may
be included inthe design of a dam,
making it possible to control the
flow of water so that the water
pressure within the dam is
Bearing shell
Shell bearing is a type of bearing used for main bearings and big-end bearings,
consisting of a circular housing which can be divided into two halves Thinshell bearings
are used for most bearing applications in the main engine. They consist of a steel
backing strip coated with a layer of white metal Bearings
25
Conrod / Big Endt
These shells are located at the larger end of the connecting rod. These shells may have
certain such as oil holes & locating tags. The conrod bearings are made of different
composite metals such as silicon aluminum, lead copper, copper silicone silver. Our
range of race series bearings have arange of coatings or additional overlays to increase
hardness & load capacity. We keep oversized bearings for crankshafts that have been
machined or "ground" to an undersize.
Figure 13 conrod
Small End Bushes
These bearing are located at the smaller end of the
connecting rod. This is where the gudgeon pin of the
piston is located. We can source these bearings ifyour
conrod requires them. Often these bearing come with
the conrod. Small end bushed either come at a specific
size or need to be lined bored to achieve the correct fitment. Figure 14 bush
26
Thrust Washers
Thrust washers are either separate from the main bearing or integrated into the one or
two of the main shells. The thrust washer isdesigned to govern the lateral movement of
the crankshaft. This is called the "end float". Oversize thrust washers are available for
some engines so the end float can be re-calculated if there is excessive wear.
camshaft lubricated.

5.Camshaft bush
Roter shaft
a stub shaft is a short rotating shaft that extends, cantilevered out past its supporting
bearings in the main structure of a power transmission subsystem.
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 workpiece to be held and rotated by the lathe
while a tool bit is advanced into the work causing the cuttingaction. 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 workpiece.
TYPES OF LATHES
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
28
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.
Figure 18 lathe
Turret lathe
The turret lathe is a form of metal working that is used forrepetitive production of
duplicate parts, which by the nature of their cutting
process are usually interchangeable. It evolved from
earlier lathes with theaddition of the turret, which that
allows multiple cuttingoperations to be performed,
each with a different cuttingly in easy, rapid
succession, with no need for the operator to perform
set-up tasks in between,such as installing or
uninstalling tools, nor to control the tool path. The latter isdue Figure 19 turret lathe
to the tool path‘s being controlled by the machine, either injig
29
Milling machine
rotary cutters to remove material from a work piece by advancing ina direction at an
angle with the axis of the too 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 usedprocesses in industry and machine shops today for
machining parts to precise sizes and shapes.
Milling cutters:
• Plain milling cutter
• Side milling cutter
• Form milling cutter
• End milling cutter
• Face milling cutter
• T-slot cutters
Grinding machine
Grinding machines are also regarded as machine tools. A distinguishing feature of
grinding machines is the rotating abrasive tool. Grinding machine is employed to
obtain high accuracy along with very highclass of surface finish on the work piece. A
grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is any of various power tool so tools used
for grinding, which is a type of machining using an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool.
30
Each grain of abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts a small chip from the work piece via
shear deformation .
Today machine tools are typically powered other than by human muscle (e.g.,
electrically, hydraulically, or vialine shaft), used to make manufactured parts
(components) in various ways that include cutting or certain other kinds of deformation.

Types of Cutting
Tools & Materials Properties Cuttingtool materials
The various types of cutting tool materials are used in tools for remove metal from
workpiece. Generally, the tool must be harder than the work material. Theselection of
tool material depends upon the various factor. They are,
• Design of tool
• Production volume
32
Properties of cutting tool material:
The various properties of cutting tool materials:
Hot Hardness:
The cutting tool is able to withstand high temperature during the machining without any
losses its cutting edge. So the tools or maintained it hardness athigh temperature. The
hardness of tool must be higher than workpiece. The additional material added to tool for
improve hardness. The material of aluminium, tungsten, molybdenum and vanadium.
Wear resistance:
It is the tool ability of resist the wearing. The friction due to contact between tools and
work materials during the machining operation. In this reason wear inthe tool. If tool not
having the sufficient amount of wear resistance, so it will befail quickly. That give poor
surface finish of work material. So the additional of Cobalt material added in the tool
combination to increase the wear resistance property.
Toughness:
It is a combination properties of strength and ductility. The tool should be having
sufficient toughness withstand the shock and vibration. If the tool having sufficient
amount of toughness, the fine edge of cutting tool does not break down or chip
formation.
Low friction:
For generally, the coefficient of friction between work piece and tool must be a lower. So
the lower friction reduce the heating and wearing in the tool material.
Types of cutting tools materials:
1. The following material having suitable for heat treated where ever requirementin
the manufacturing of machine tool.
2. Milling cutters
5. Bridge reamers
33
6. Taps
7. Twist drills
Milling cutters
The purpose of a milling cutter is to remove
material from a work piece. With that said,
milling cutters don't consist of a single blade.
While turning operations performed using a
lathe generally feature a single-bladed cutting
34
grinding when cutting edge turned blunt.
Bridge reamers
Reamer tools are radially symmetrical tools with either straight, slightly twisted, or spiral
fluted cutting surfaces that are ground to a very precise diameter. They are used to finish
holes that have been drilled, end-milled, or punched, leaving them with very accurate
dimensions.
Twist drills
A twist drill is a metal rod of a specific diameter that has two, three or four spiral flutes
running most of its length. Two-flute drills are for primary drilling, whereas three- and
four-flute drills are only for enlarging cast or punched holes in a production situation.

Rehabilitation shop
The first shop I visited was the Rehabilitation shop. Apart from repairs there is also
occasional maintenance.
37
Supervisory Work in the Rehabilitation Shop:
My duties at the repair shop are to look at loco motivation engine repair tests and to
check outthe cart frame and other different tests .After a crash and a train accident all the
replacement trains are in a repair shop.
I am working is this shop under the supervision of Sir Manzoor who is the CIR in the
Locomotive Workshops. They guide me through my internship period which I spend in
thisshop are:

5. Traction Motor
Central Pivot
The central pivot is located on the front side of the frame to allow for a certain level of
rotationof the train. Pivot carries about 60% of direct load and acquires and transmits
gravity and braking. The pivot bowel and loading area are lined with grease for its line.
The middle pivot is checked for appearance. The central pivot pin connects the body to
the bogie and transmits the bogie 'gravity and brakes. It has silent rubber trees that help
keep bogies in line with the body and control and reduce angular oscillations of the
bogies to some degree.
Pre-Inspection:
It is the inspection in which all the pipe fittings, brake equipment are properly fitted
andinplaced before starting of testing the following:.
2. Emergency Application
3. Reservoir Charging.
Final Inspection
Final testing is one of the most important parts of a bogie and coach care because if
thereis adisagreement, the wrong combination or size is gone or a little tolerable so it
can bea big risk. To avoid such an accident, a final examination should be done
carefully.

Project Carried Out in the Rehabilitation Shop
1. Preventation Maintenance
The efficiency of trains depends on the reliability and availability of trains. Proper and
efficient train maintenance is the foundation of cost-effective train operations. Care
procedureshave emerged from the basic principle that the necessary attention should be
paid to all assets before they deteriorate due to aging which makes them prone to failure.
This is known as maintenance retention. Train block maintenance can be broadly divided
into two headings, namely, periodic adjustments and schedule adjustments.
The life expectancy of steam and diesel trains is 40 and 36 years, respectively. Due to the
longevity of life, it is important that both assets are stored properly and periodically to
ensurethat there is no deterioration in their condition. The maintenance of steam and
diesel trains isdone as follows.
Steam locomotives Table 24.6 outlines the various types of schedules approved for the
maintenance of steam locomotives based on the total distance in kilometres covered by
the locomotives.
These repair programs are based on experience and informed investigations into the
40
causes oftrain crashes. Compared to a railroad track, the diesel pump unit is much more
complex, often incorporating an indirect control system with many additional
components. As a result of thisgreat complexity, there is a great deal of inefficiency on
the failure of a particular component.The 'service' of small schedules, that is, travel, two
weeks, monthly, etc., which includes routine tests, a little attention, and the like, takes
about 4 to 12 hours. Larger schedules take longer, lasting 6 to 14 days, as they require
major repairs and replacement.

The schedules for inspection and checks given in Table 24.7 are generally followed on
Pakistan Railways to ensure the proper maintenance of electric locomotives.
The frequency and duration of the various schedules are defined after considering the
failureof several trains, the presence of indigenous parts, and the air and dust
temperatures in the country have been considered.
Rolling Stocks
Rolling stock includes locomotives, passenger coaches, goods wagons, and all other types
of coaches & wagons such as electric multiple units (EMUs), diesel rail cars, and special
wagonssuch as BOX wagons. This section gives some of the details of passenger coaches
and goods wagons.

The EMD 645 is a diesel engine series developed and built by General Motors' Electro
MotiveDivision. One 16-cylinder v type engine was included in the 645 series, which
was designed primarily for locomotive, marine, and stationary engine applications.
If certain engine parameters are found outside of the Locomotive Diesel and are
operational,the ECU monitors and detects them. The diesel train is an independentelectric
train. Diesel trains operate on the same basis as electric trains in that the crank shaft of a
diesel engine rotates the alternator.
LOCOMOTIVE EVERSPEED
If the train exceeds the maximum allowable speed (122 kph), a Penalty brake
applicationisinitiated until the train speed is sufficiently reduced.
Problems Encountered
Following Problems we face in this shops are:
If it is not properly welded then battery is not working properly or not be fitted.
Problems Solving

The Pakistan Railways workshop is a very useful organization. One of the best and most
profitable things is that the workshop is completely independent. It does not require any
external vendor or product. This section is full of the power of the Railway Workshop.
Themain motivation for the train workshop is to maintain the train, doing its maintenance
from time to time. The organization does its job very well but in a very old way. In the
process ofincreasing productivity, there are some points raised,
43
all of the primary functions of the rehabilitation shop and its sections. We also visit some
of the accident locomotives and study the locomotive engine's traction motor and cooling
system. We see how they separate the locomotive's pivots from its bogie and elevate the
locomotive's body using a 40-ton horizontal puller crane before resting it on ground
fixed.

CASTING:
47
Casting process
Casting is the process of pouring molten metal into the previously made cavityto the
desired. Shape and allow it to solidify
The following are the basic operations of casting process
• Pattern making
• Mould preparation
• Melting the metal
• Pouring it into a previously made
mould which confirms to theshape
of desired component.
Figure 38 casting
Pattern:
A pattern is an element used for making cavities in the mould, into whichmolten. Metal is
poured to produce a casting.
Figure 39 pattren
48
Different types of patterns:
Split or Parted Pattern
Loose Piece Pattern
Gated Patterns.
Match Plate pattern.
Mould preparation:
A mold is formed into the geometric shape of a desired part. Molten metal is then poured
into the mold, the mold 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, molds can be classified as either open or closed. An
open mold 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.

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 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 RotaryChamber 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 onlegs 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.

Pakistan Railways Power Plant
Power Plant workshop at Pakistan Railways was also one of the good sources of learning
practical knowledge. This workshop basically was about the production of energy, its
utilization and its distribution etc. the power plant section is the last part of railway so this
part also working on two engines . so these engine control all electrical part of railway.
In power plant shop I see that how electricity is generated and for which purpose. There
were engines of different company like
Cummins, Caterpillars, Perkins etc.
Perkins‘s engines (20kv) were used only to
light up lights and turn on fans. While
Cummins, Caterpillars (300-450) Kwa these
were used to run AC and also fans etc.
1. Inline.
2. 'I' shaped
3. 'V' shaped.
52
4. 'W' shaped.
In Line Engine:
This type of design is a very basic and conventional engine design. In this engine
construction,the cylinders are in a single straight line. An inline engine is used with 2, 3, 4,
5, 6 or up to 8 cylinders.
‗V’ Engine:
This is a newer generation engine design. In this engine construction, the cylinders are at
an angle. The angle between the cylinders forms a 'V' shape and that is why it is a 'V' engine
design.
‗W’ Engine:
In this engine construction, the engine has three rows of cylinders placed at an angle. The
anglebetween the cylinder rows forms a 'W' shape and that is why it is a 'W' engine design.

Engine liner
It is a cylinder that is fitted to the engine block to form the cylinder, and is one critical
function part that forms the engine interior.
In Japan they are usually called Cylinder Liners,
but some countries (companies) call them
Cylinder Sleeves.
The engine's cylinder wall is high
temperature/high pressure, and the piston
Figure 46 liner
ring/piston is sliding at high speed, and particularly with
54
truck/bus engines a long-life is demanded, so we use highly friction resistant casting
material Cylinder Liners only for cylinders. Also, in recent years, to make engines light-
weight, engine blocks are changing from casting to aluminum alloys, however, aluminum
alloys suffer deformation and friction during direct sliding when used for the cylinder
inner circumference, therefore, the aluminum die cast block is mainly used where the
Cylinder Liner is cast-in.

Excellent Electrical Performance:
A turbocharger is a turbine-driven
56
forced induction machine that boosts the efficiency and power output of an internal
combustion engine by bringing additional air into the combustion chamber A turbo is a
device that can enhance the
horsepower of an engine without
adding to its
weight.ATurbocharger is a
device that is used to increase
entering into the combustion chamber. More air into the combustion chamber means
more amount of fuel will be admited into the cylinder and as a result one will get more
power from the same engine if the turbochargerare installed in it.
The turbocharger’s draws the air from atmosphere and compresses it with thehelp of
centrifugal compressor before it enters into the intake manifold at increased pressure.
This results in more amount of air entering into the cylinders on each intake stroke. The
centrifugal compressor gets power from the kinetic energy of engine‘s exhaust gases.

Heat treatment is defined as an 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.
1. The heat treatment is done to improve the machinability.
2. To improve magnetic and electrical properties.
3. To increase resistance to wear, 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.
59
Figure 55 heat treatment shop
60
TYPES OF HEAT TREATMENT
Annealing
Annealing is one of the most important processes of heat treatment. It is one of the most
widely used operations in the heat treatment of iron and steel and is defined as the
softening process.
Heating of from 30 - 50°C above the upper critical temperature and cooling it at the
very slow rate by seeking it the furnace. The main aim of annealing is to make steel more
ductile and malleable and to remove internal stresses. This process makes the steel soft so
that it can be easily machined.
Figure 57 Annealing
Normalizing
Normalizing: The main aim of normalizing is to remove the internal stresses developed
after the cold working process. In this, steel is heated 30 - 50°C above its upper critical
temperature and cooling it in the air.
It improves mechanical and electrical properties, machinability & tensile strength.
Normalizing is the process of heat treatment carried out to restore the structure of normal
61
condition.
Hardening
Hardening: The main aim of the hardening process is to make steel hard tough. In this
process, steel is heated 30° - 40°C above the
upper critical temperature and then followed by
continues cooling to room temperature by
quenching in water or oil. It is the opposite
process of annealing.
Figure 58 hardening
Tempering
Tempering: When the hardening process hardens a steel specimen, it becomes brittle and
has high residual stress. It is an operation used to modify the properties of steel hardened
by quenching for the purpose of increasing its usefulness.
Tempering or draw results in a reduction of brittleness and removal of internal strains
caused during hardening. Steel must be tempered after the hardening process.
The tempering is divided into three categories according to the usefulness of steel require.
Nitriding is the process of the case or surface hardening in which nitrogen gas is
62
employed to obtain hard skin of the metal. In this process, steel is heated in the presence
of ammonia environment.
Due to this, a nitrogen atom is deposited and makes material hard. Induction hardening
and Flame hardening objects are heated by an oxy-acetylene flame.
Cyaniding
Cyaniding: In this process, steel is heated in the presence of sodium cyanide
environment. Due to this, carbon and nitrogen atoms are deposited on the surface of steel
and make it hard.
Purpose of Cyaniding
1. This method is effective for increasing the fatigue limit of medium and small-
sized parts such as gears, shafts, wrist pins etc.
2. To increase surface hardness.
3. increase wear resistance.
4. To give the clean, bright and pleasing appearance to the hardened surface.
63
this carbon atoms are deposited on the metal surface and make it hard.
Figure 61 carburising
Furnaces
Furnaces used for heat treatment can be split into two broad categories: batch
furnaces and continuous furnaces. Batch furnaces are usually manually loaded and
unloaded, whereas continuous furnaces have an automatic conveying system to provide a
constant load into the furnace chamber.

separation between moving parts of the bearing. These versatile bearings can contain
single or multiple rows of rolling elements;multiple rows can significantly improve radial
load capacity. Also, the use of different roller shapes can further reduce friction and
support both radial and axial loads.
Locomotive axle:
The locomotive axle making with the help of different types of alloys so these axle
working under the load just like passenger load and locomotive load. The locomotive
also use two types axle.
66
How to fitting a roller bearing on axle:
1. First of all check the play inner and outer of the bearing.
3. Third is lose the bearing fitting with help of power oil this oil bowling very high
temperature.
4. so The bearing dip inside of the hot oil this oil lose the fitting of the bearing. And easily fit
on the axle.
There are thousands of different types of roller bearings available to meet specific
application requirements. Emerson Bearing offers a broad selection ofroller bearings,
including the following popular types
These bearings feature rollers that are longer than their diameter, and can tolerate higher
loads than ball bearings. Our cylindrical roller bearings can carryheavy radial loads and
are able to be used in high-speed applications.
67
Figure 67 cylindrical bearing
This type of bearing is thinner than conventional roller bearings and can be designed
with or without an inner ring. Needle roller bearings
are ideal for dealing with radial space constraints in
heavy-load, high-speed applications. Drawn cup styles
allow for high load capacities and large grease
reservoirs while still offering a slim cross-section
design. These bearings are offered withinch or metric seals. Figure 69 needle
68
bearings are available in inch and metric sizes.Rollerbearings are used in a wide range of
applications, from heavy equipment and machinery to power generation, manufacturing,
and aerospace.
Power oil :
The power oil also use in roller bearing section only use for lose the bearing fitting so
this is the mean part of the roller bearing section.

IC engine
An internal combustion engine is the engine in which combustion (burning of fuel)
takes place inside the cylinder of engine. By burning of the fuel high temperature and
pressure force generates. This pressure force use to move thevehicle or rotate wheels by
use of some mechanism.
going to tell you about these parts and how they work so you Figure 76 engine
Cylinder block:
Cylinder is the main body of IC engine. Cylinder is a part in which the intake of fuel,
compression of fuel and burning of fuel take place. The main function of cylinder is to
guide the piston. It is in direct contact with the products of combustion so it must be
cooled. For cooling of cylinder a water jacket (for liquid cooling used in most of cars) or
fin (for air cooling used in most of bikes) are situated at the outer side of cylinder. At the
upper end of cylinder, cylinder head and at the bottom end crank case is bolted. The
upper side of cylinder is consists of a combustion chamber where fuel burns. To handle
all this pressure and temperature generated by combustion of fuel, cylinder material
should have high compressive strength. So it is made by high grade cast iron. It is made
by casting and usually cast in one piece
Figure 77 block
72
Cylinder head:
The top end of cylinder is closed by means of removable cylinder head. There are two
holes or ports at the cylinder head, one for intake of fuel and other for exhaust. Both the
intake and exhaust ports are closed by the two valves knownas inlet and exhaust valve.
The inlet valve, exhaust valve, spark plug, injector etc. are bolted on the cylinder head.
The main function of cylinder head is to seal the cylinder block and not to permit entry
and exit of gases on cover headvalve engine. Cylinder head is usually made by cast iron
or aluminum. It is made by casting or forging and usually in one piece.
73
made by cast iron.
because light alloy piston expands more than cast iron so they need more clearances to
the bore.
Connecting rod:
Connecting rod connects the piston to crankshaft and transmits the motion and thrust of
piston to crankshaft. It converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary
motionof crankshaft. There are two end of connecting rod one is known as big end and
other as small end. Big end is connected to the crankshaft and the small end is
connected to the piston by use of piston pin.
74
Crankcase:
The main body of the engine to which the cylinder are
attached and which contains the crankshaft and crankshaft bearing is called crankcase. It
serves as the lubricating system too and sometime it is called oil sump. All the oil for
lubrication is placed in it.
Figure 82 crankcase
Valves:
To control the inlet and exhaust of internal combustion engine, valves are used. The
number of valves in an engine depends on the number of cylinders. Two valves are used
for each cylinder one for inlet of air-fuel mixture inside the cylinder and other for
exhaust of combustion gases. The valves are fitted in the port at the cylinder head by use
of strong spring. This spring keep them closed. Both valves usually open inwards.
75
CENTRAL LABORATORY MGPR
In Centeral laboratory, Various test are performed on fuel, lubricant, grease to find their
viscosity, viscosity index, flash point.
Chemical Analysis:
The laboratory conducts chemical analysis of various substances used in Pakistan
Railways. This includes testing for the presence of impurities, determining the chemical
composition or analysing the reaction of substances under different conditions.
Material Testing:
The central laboratory is responsible for testing various materials used in railway
operations. This may involve carrying out tests to determine the strength, durability and
suitability of structural materials such as concrete,
steel or wood.
Environmental Monitoring:
The laboratory carries out environmental monitoring in order to assess the impact of
railway traffic on the surrounding environment. This may include measuring air quality,
noise levels, water quality or any other parameters that may affect the environment.
Testing:
Several test are perform in the central laboratory
1. Fuel testing
2. Grease Testing
3. Lubricant Testing
76
Fuel Viscosity:
Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It is an essential property of fluids
and represents the inner friction between unique layers of the fluid as they flow past each
different. In simple terms, viscosity describes how thick or skinny a fluid is and the way
effortlessly it flows.
Drinks with low viscosity, like water, waft without difficulty and feature a runny
consistency. They have got a low resistance to drift. However, liquids with high
viscosity, like honey or molasses, drift slowly and feature a thick, sticky consistency.
They provide a more resistance to glide.
Viscosity is commonly measured in units of poise (P) or centipoise (cP) in the metric
machine. For some industries and packages, kinematic viscosity is used, which is
measured in centistokes (cSt).
Viscosity is an essential property in numerous fields, along with engineering, chemistry,
and geology. It impacts the conduct of fluids in pipes, lubrication, blending approaches,
and the flow of fluids in geological formations, amongst other packages. Know-how
viscosity is important for designing and optimizing processes, deciding on appropriate
lubricants, and reading fluid behavior in one-of-a-kind contexts.

My first day in diesel classified and introduction about diesel classified repair shop
Diesel classified shop deals with the repairing and maintenance of the engines.
The responsibility of diesel classified work shop is overhauling of all locomotives of
Pakistan Railways after every 5 years. There are 5 different sections working for diesel
classified.
83
7. Radiator
Engine overhauling:
A railway engine overhaul or engine rebuild is usually done when there are serious
problems with a locomotive and its engine. During an overhaul, your mechanic
disassembles the engine and then evaluates the condition of the internal components to
identify the source of the problems and fix them. Internal parts such as the piston rings,
bearings, gaskets, and camshaft may be replaced during an overhaul, though it depends
on their condition and what the source of the problem is.

The main task of the E&DC shop is to repair or new parts locomotives so that they may
be used again. We work with Mr. Hamad the foreman, who informs usabout all of the
primary functions of the E&DC shop and its sections. We also visit some of the machine
of E&DC shop and study the machines system. We see how they produced the
locomotive's parts from E&DC shop. So many of the other component make inside of
the E&DC shop like.

3. Bridge reamers
4. Taps
The main task of the rehabilitation shop is to repair or rehab damaged locomotives so that
they may be used again. We work with Mr. Mansoor, the foreman, who informs us about
all of the primary functions of the rehabilitation shop and its sections. We also visit some
of the accident locomotives and study the locomotive engine's traction motorand cooling
system. We see how they separate the locomotive's pivots from its bogie and elevate the
locomotive's body using a 40-ton horizontal puller crane before resting it on ground fixed
jacks.
It is the inspection in which all the pipe fittings, brake equipment are properly fitted
andinplaced before starting of testing the following:.
Emergency Application
Reservoir Charging.
Final Inspection
Final testing is one of the most important parts of a bogie and coach care because if
90
there is adisagreement, the wrong combination or size is gone or a little tolerable so it
can be a big risk. To avoid such an accident, a final examination should be done
carefully.
1. Preventive Maintenance
The efficiency of trains depends on the reliability and availability of trains. Proper and
efficient train maintenance is the foundation of cost-effective train operations. Care
procedureshave emerged from the basic principle that the necessary attention should be
paid to all assets before they deteriorate due to aging which makes them prone to failure.
This is known as maintenance retention. Train block maintenance can be broadly divided
into two headings, namely, periodic adjustments and schedule adjustments.
The life expectancy of steam and diesel trains is 40 and 36 years, respectively. Due to the
longevity of life, it is important that both assets are stored properly and periodically to
ensurethat there is no deterioration in their condition. The maintenance of steam and
diesel trains isdone as follows.

The foundry shop is very important part of Pakistan railways this shop also deal with
metals and different process apply on metal and metal convert to liquid form to different
useful shapes for example.
1. Suspension bearing
2. Copper thimble
When furnace smoke colour complete convert in to white colour in this time your
suspension bearing liquid alloys ready for molding process.

generators and a controlling system that provides electrical power to the whole train to
utilize in form of light, fan, or Air Conditions. There are two types of generators used in
power vans. One is 300 KVA which is used in a combination of two generators and 500
KVA which is used alone.
Working Principle:
An ordinary four-stroke engine dedicates one stroke to the process of air intake.Three
things happen during this process:
The piston moves down.
The vacuum causes air at atmospheric pressure to be sucked into thecombustion chamber.
Once air is drawn into the engine, it must be combined with fuel to form the charge a
packet of potential energy that can be turned into useful kinetic energy through a
chemical reaction known as combustion. The spark plug initiates this chemical reaction
by igniting the charge.
The power plant shop deal the power van and its components.
1. Engine
2. Generator
3. Batteries
Engine checking
The water dram test is very simple test this test also working on a water the electrical
weir connect with engine . the engine load apply on a water tang and note the riding . so
the engine start three to two hour and also check engine efficiency and engine working .

8. Flame hardening
Working experience
My working experience in heat treatment shop only two working process apply in this
shop first is annealing the second is hardening. When any material come to the heat
treatment shop the first process annealing apply on the material.
Annealing :
Annealing is a heat treatment process which alters the microstructure of a material to
change its mechanical or electrical properties. Typically, in steels, annealing is used to
reduce hardness, increase ductility and help eliminate internal stresses. Annealing is a
generic term and may refer to subcritical, intermediate or full annealing in a variety of
atmospheres.
Hardening:
The hardening process involves heating steel or iron above a critical temperature and then
holding it there long enough for molecular transformation to occur. The material develops
a higher level of hardness when it is cooled at a rate fast enough to lock in the
transformation.
However, roller bearings transmit loads using cylinder rolling elements, rather than balls,
to maintain the separation betweenmoving parts of the bearing.
1. Cylindrical roller bearings
Working experience

The roller bearing shop use only three types of bearing when driver feel different noise
in locomotive and bogies also come this section. So this section complete check up
locomotive and is bogie section. So complete changes the bearing and repair the bearings
CHAPTER 5
Conclusion
This training focused upon increasing our knowledge and interest in toward the
Production of Railway Carriage & Wagons and workshops. Because It is most efficient
and necessary needs to peoples in these days so its production at most efficient method
with minimum cost and in proper sequence with less wastage.It was a great experience.
It increases my practical skills that are the main thing which i learnt in the training
session. Thus, I believe that my training session willbe beneficial for various purposes &
hence our efforts will be fruitful.
Finaly I would like to thank my instructor and all the person of this organization who
had helped me lot during my course.
Recommendations:
I would like to give some recommendations to improve the quality of work and save time
along the health of the workers because during our visit we observed that
the workers are not playing with their own lives which are a great loss of man power.
Motivation comes for any work, from within and heavily depends on individual
consideration, which are bound to be different for each human positiveness of character
makes him/her flexible, tolerant and sound in any specific consideration.The positiveness
heavily depends on the individual‘s education and curiosity
Railway department should upgrade its system of transferring the letters, applications and
other various documents to its other departments i.e. by use of internet technology It must
use the banking transection system for the comfort of people and more safety of its cash.

CHAPTER 7
Appendix:
Importance of Pakistan Railways
1. Pakistan railways has been playing a very crucial role in social, economicand political
development of Pakistan for the last 150 years.
2. Employing more than 75000 persons and providing employment indirectly toat least
ten times more, it contributes significantly to the GDP of the country.
3. Being the cheapest mode of transportation of goods and commuting passengers, it has
been the pivot of Pakistan industrial and commercialdevelopment.
4. With more than 80 million passengers every year from one corner of the country to
other.it is not only a symbol of unity of the country but also a vehicleof social and
political integration.
1. The industrial units of railway are running at a loss. The locomotive factory,sleeper
factories and the carriage factory as well as the other large manufacturing units of
railways need to be converted in to autonomous corporation.
2. The operational efficiency of the railways is very low. The overall efficiencyof the
railways requires to be improved through better managerial and operational.
