High Speed Turnouts with Thick Web Switches – RDSO

The traffic density is increasing day by day on Indian Railways and to increase the section capacity higher speeds of trains are always aimed at.

On Indian Railways, new high speed lines are being laid to cater for demand of increasing traffic density. In various Zonal Railways high speed turnouts with thick web switches are being installed.

Salient features of TWS
  • The switch opening is of 160 mm as against of 115 mm of ordinary cross over.
  • The crossing angle has been broadened so that the train negotiating at higher speeds does not pose any danger.
  • The web of the switches is made thicker to make than them strong enough to withstand load of train at high speeds.
Thick Web Switches
Spring setting device (SSD)
  • In a TWS turnout, no stretcher bar is used and hence switches are able to move independently.
  • A spring setting device (SSD) is provided at junction of Rail head (JOH), in lieu of stretcher bars, to assist in proper setting of switch upto JOH, which is placed between sleeper number 13 and 14.
  • Adjustment of locking is done by means of packing shims between switch rail and stock rail bracket. Three each of 1 mm and one of 0.5 mm shims are provided for each switch.
  • Maintenance Handbook on Electric Point Machine 220 mm throw for Thick Web Switch
Joint Inspection of Points & Crossings (Thick-Web Switches)

Recently, some of the railways have raised certain issues related to maintenance of Thick Web Switch (TWS) turnouts and Track circuit insulation problems which involved issues pertaining to Track maintenance as well as signalling.

The final proforma for Joint Inspection of Points & Crossings of Thick Web Switches incorporating the suggestions by Track & Signal Directorates of RDSO is enclosed herewith. Download the Proforma.

Indian Railway enhances Speed to 130 Kmph Along the Golden Quadrilateral & Golden Diagonal sections

Entire GQ-GD route over South Central Railway, now fit to run at 130 Kmph Speed

A total of 2824 Kms (including Up &Down Lines) over South Central Railway Zone is now fit to run at 130 Kmph speed.

Indian Railway has started the New Year 2021 by achieving a landmark achievement by drastically enhancing the maximum speed to 130 kmph for 1,280 km length out of 1,612 Km in Golden Quadrilateral – Golden Diagonal (GQ-GD) route.

This covers the entire GQ-GD route over South Central Railway, except Vijayawada – Duvvada section, where signalling up-gradation work is in progress.

The enhanced speed limits could be achieved due to the systematic and planned strengthening of track & its infrastructure by removing bottlenecks in these sections on a fast pace. This included heavier rails, laying of 260 meters Long welded rail panels, improvement of curves and gradients among others.

Based on these improvements done by the Zone, the RDSO/Lucknow conducted oscillation trials through Confirmatory Oscillograph Car Run (COCR) consisting of instrumented coaches of all classes at 130 Kmph speed during July and October last year. During this check, in addition to track parameters, other areas like Signalling aspect, Traction distribution equipment, Locomotive& coach fitness were also checked and recorded.

Accordingly, the South Central Railway zone has received sanction to enhance the maximum speed limits to 130 kmph along the following routes:

1. Golden Diagonal (Grand Trunk) Route: 744 Route Km

i.          Ballarshah to Kazipet              – 234 Rkm

ii.         Kazipet-Vijayawada-Gudur   – 510 Rkm

2. Golden Quadrilateral Route (Chennai -Mumbai section): 536 Route Km

i.          Renigunta to Gooty    – 281 Rkm

ii.         Gooty to Wadi            –  255Rkm

Already, the maximum speed limits in the High-Density Network (HDN) between Secunderabad – Kazipet (132 Kms distance) had been enhanced to 130 kmph. Source: PIB

As such, including both the Up and Down lines in these sections, a total of 2,824 kms (1412Rkms) has now been made fit to run at a speed of 130 kmph. This covers the entire GQ-GD route over SCR, except Vijayawada – Duvvada section, where signaling up-gradation work is in progress.

It is noteworthy that despite COVID pandemic, Indian Railways has witnessed an unprecedented growth in development of infrastructure, innovation, capacity expansion of network, freight diversification. Railways has used covid challenge as an opportunity to lay the foundation for future development and next level of traveling experience for passengers.

The Golden Quadrilateral & Golden Diagonal (GQ /GD) Routes are –
  • New Delhi – Mumbai (1384 Km) via Mathura and Vadodara
  • New Delhi – Chennai (2182 Km) via Nagpur, and Vijayawada
  • New Delhi – Howrah (1454 Km) via Kanpur and Dhanbad
  • Howrah – Chennai (1662 Km) via Visakhapatnam
  • Mumbai – Chennai (1284 Km) via Wadi and Renigunta
  • Mumbai – Howrah (1967 Km) via Nagpur

Length wise New Delhi – Chennai (North to South) is Longest route i.e 2182 Km, and Mumbai – Howrah (West to East) is Shortest route i.e. 1284 Km.

Railway wise Details of Sections on Golden Quadrilateral & Golden Diagonal Routes
Modernisation of Signalling System

Modernisation of Signalling System is proposed to be taken up on High Density Routes of Indian Railways including Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) and Golden Diagonal (GD) Route. The work includes provision of Modern Train Control System.

As a prelude to modernisation work of signalling system on Indian Railways, four works totaling 640 Route km at total cost of ₹ 1,609 crores have been sanctioned in Supplementary Works Programme 2018-19 in following sections for extensive trials,

Check List for approval of ESP (Engineering Scale Plans)

Check list for approval of ESP (Engineering Scale Plans) issued by Engineering department…

Engineering Scale Plan is the basis for yard layout of a station and Signalling plan. Utmost care has to taken by the divisions while preparing and scrutinizing the ESP’s.

It has been observed that the Engineering Scale Plans are not being checked thoroughly by the divisions comparing with the last approved ESP, SlP and with site conditions in case of discrepancy between approved ESP and SIP before forwarding the plans for the approval of Headquarters. This is leading to consumption of lot of time at Headquarters tor getting attended the observations noted during the scrutinization of ESP. lf the religious scrutiny is done at divisional level lot of time can be saved both at divisional and headquarters level.

For the guidance and follow up, the list of items to be checked during the approval of ESP are described below…
