COACHES
 RAILWAY ACCIDENTS MAY BE CLASSIFIED BY THEIR EFFECTS, LIKE HEAD-ON
COLLISIONS, REAR-END COLLISIONS, SIDE COLLISIONS, DERAILMENTS, FIRES,
EXPLOSIONS, ETC.
 INDIA'S DEADLIEST RAIL ACCIDENTS WERE THE BIHAR TRAIN
DISASTER(500–800 KILLED), THE FIROZABAD RAIL DISASTER (358 KILLED),
THE GAISAL TRAIN DISASTER (285 KILLED) AND THE KHANNA RAIL
DISASTER (212 KILLED)
 ICF COACH

 Icf (Integral Coach Factory)coaches are conventional passenger coaches used on the majority
of main-line trains in India. The design of the coach was developed by Integral Coach Factory
in Chennai.

 The frame of the ICF coach is a fabricated structure made up of mild steel
 BOGIE

 The bogie frame is a solid welded 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
welded to the frame. The bogie frame rests on the primary suspension 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.
 LHB COACHES

 Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches are the passenger coaches of Indian Railways that
have been developed by Linke-Hofmann Busch of Germany
 The coaches are designed for an operating speed up to 160 km/h and could go up to 200
km/h. They are considered to be "anti-telescopic", which means they do not get turned
over or flip in case of a collision
 Each coach also has an "advanced pneumatic disc brake system" for efficient braking at
higher speeds, "modular interiors" that integrate lighting into ceiling and luggage racks
with wider windows. The improved suspension system of LHB coaches ensures more riding
comfort for the passengers compared to conventional rakes.
  They are relatively quieter as each coach produces a maximum noise level of 60 decibels
while conventional coaches can produce 100 decibels.
CENTRE BUFFER COUPLERS:

 The coupler provides a means of mechanically connecting individual adjacent vehicles to

make a train.
 A coupler is a device for connecting coaches with each other in a train. The equipment
that connects the couplings to the rolling stock is known as the draft gear. It has special
kind of spring inside it with electronic circuit.
 The coupler is located at both ends of each vehicle. When connected to a coupler of an
adjacent vehicle, it allows the vehicles to move independently to accommodate track
curvature and elevation change while remaining connected (coupled) together.
