• At the outset I express my gratitude to our JSSATE ME
Department for giving me a chance to comprehend my
training work.
• I am very thankful to our teachers who has lend their
patience ears to my industrial training presentation.
• I am very grate full to the DLW VARANASI for taking
me in as a trainee for a month and making me aware of
all the perspective which a Mechanical Engineering
student should know
• Last but not the least I would like to thanks my parents
for suggesting me to get trained under DLW
VARANASI UP.
Introduction
• The locomotives of India presently consist of electric
and diesel locomotive . Steam locomotives are no longer
used in India, except in heritage trains . A locomotive is also
called loco or engine.
• The Bengal Sappers of the Indian Army were the first to run
a steam locomotive in India. The steam locomotive
named Thomason ran with two wagons for carrying earth
from Roorkee to Piran Kaliyar in 1851, two years before the
first passenger train ran from Bombay to Thane in 1853.
• The Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW) in Varanasi, India, is a
production unit owned by Indian Railways, that
manufactures diesel-electric locomotives and its spare parts.
It is the largest diesel-electric locomotive manufacturer in
India.
Locally it is abbreviated as D L W.
It is located on DLW to BHU road of the metropolitan city
of Varanasi.

Something About Diesel
Engine
• Early internal combustion engine owered locomotives
and railmotors used gasoline as their fuel. Soon after
Dr. Rudolf Diesel patented his first compression
ignition engine in 1898, it was considered for railway
propulsion. Progress was slow, however, as several
problems had to be overcome.
• Petrol-electric Weitzer railmotor ,first 1903, series
1906
• Power transmission was a primary concern. As
opposed to steam and electric engines, internal
combustion engines work efficiently only within a
limited range of turning frequencies. In light vehicles,
this could be overcome by a clutch. In heavy railway
vehicles, mechanical transmission never worked well
or wore out too soon. Experience with early gasoline
powered locomotives and railcars was valuable for the
development of diesel traction. One step
towards diesel–electric transmission was the petrol-
electric vehicle, such as the Acsev Weitzer railmotor,
which could operate from batteries and electric
overhead wires too. (1903 ff.) [2]
