INTRODUCTION
In 1947, after independence, the truncated North Western Railway, renamed as East
Punjab Railway, had no workshop to undertake repairs of Broad Gauge rolling stock. For some
time, the repairs to the stock were carried out at Kalka. Later, it was decided to set up the first
major post-independence Carriage and Wagon Workshop of Indian Railway at Jagadhri as part of
Northern Railway and foundation stone of the workshop was laid on 08/02/1952. The workshop
was set up for undertaking the POH of 75 units of coaching stock and 225 units of goods stock
per month.
The workshop capacity has since been expanded and developed and over a period of time
the target outturn of the workshop has been increased to the current level of 480 VU of Wagons
and 125 VU of Coaches per month; this includes 31 AC coaches and 95 non-AC coaches. Besides,
IOH of 35 AC and 50 non-AC coaches is also carried out every month in the workshop. The
outturn of the workshop is slated to increase further in the coming months.
A proud moment for the workshop was when in theDec’2003it became the first workshop
to be nominated for the POH of state-of-the-art LHB coaches initially imported from M/s Alstom,
Germany and later manufactured in the country with the transfer of technology from there.
Presently, Jagadhri workshop is doing POH of 21 LHB AC coaches every month.

TRAIN LIGHTING SHOP
1. Wiring Section
2. Alternator / Regulator Section
3. Battery & Battery Box Section
4. Fan Section
5. Electroplating Section
6. Winding Section
The repair and rewiring works of TL coaches are being carried out by this section. With
passage of time various inputs have been given in this section, to improve the quality of
work and Electrical equipment/items being used in the passenger coaches. Brief details of
the same are as under:
1.2 Testing & repair of Electronic Ballasts & light fittings before fitment in the coaches
There was no testing facility available for the electronic ballasts & light fittings and to
attend the defects in wiring section. To solve this problem, a test bench for testing of
electronic ballast, emergency light & CFL fitting has been developed in house by the
utmost dedication and sincere efforts of the existing staff which has resulted in saving of
valuable time and manpower as each of the fitting got tested for its proper working
before fitment in the coaches.
1.3 Testing of Fuses & MCBs to ensure their proper working at fault condition
Earlier there was no facility available to check performance of HRC Fuses and MCBs being
used in passenger coaches due to which their actual performance under the fault
conditions could not be ascertained. Therefore to check the important parameter like
Fusing, Non Fusing and gate current (limiting values within which the Time-Current
6
Characteristics should lie) of different type of HRC fuses and Tripping characteristics of
MCBs, a test bench has been developed by workshop where important parameters of
fuses & MCBs are being checked as per the guidelines of respective IS:13703 & 60947.
Test bench for testing of fuses as per IS: 13703 (Part-1) – 1993
1.4 Testing of different type of Rotary switches before fitment in the coaches
Cases of no light/smoke emission from the Rotary junction boxes on account of defects in
the rotary switches were regularly being reported by the field units as the only criterion
available for ensuring the quality/performance of these switches was manual checking of
their mechanical operation whereas their electrical health/performance which get
affected by the wear & tear of the contacts with passage of during service has no check on
it. To ensure trouble free field service, monitoring of electrical parameter like IR and
voltage drop values of every POHed/New Rotary Switch before putting them in service has
been started by the JUDW.
The switches which pass IR test and have “Milli-Volt Drop” between 10-15mV are allowed
to put in the service. As a result the cases of overheating & sparking in rotary switches
have been eliminated.
On an average 1400 batteries per month are being POHed and 425 new batteries are
being provided for replacement of old/ condemned/ deficient batteries. A demineralizing
plant having capacity of 200 liters per hour and 02 Nos. distilled water plants of capacity
15 ltrs/hr is installed in this section.
In addition to this 04 Regenerative type static battery chargers for proper charging &
discharging of VRLA & LMLA batteries have been installed in the section. Using
regenerative type battery chargers per annum saving to tune of Rs 75000/- per battery
charger on account of energy saving is being ensured.

Dismantling: Released DC Fans from incoming POH coaches are dismantled in a separate
earmarked area and damaged cage and body of fans are identified. Only serviceable
parts are utilized for POH.
Thorough cleaning of different parts of fans: Carriage Fan guard, fan body & fan blades
are cleaned thoroughly by high pressure hot water jet cleaning after cleaning in sodium
hydroxide. Apart from this, fan motor, armature and bearings are properly cleaned by
kerosene oil with newly installed spare parts cleaning machine.
Overhauling & Testing: Overhauling activities of armature and reassembly of field unit,
fan motor and fan cover, fitting of carban brush and its connection, fitting of fan guard
blade and testing of fan are being perfromed on separate Work benches.
Achievements: With these arrangements the POH quality of DC fans has improved which
resulted in reduction of undue noise in fan bearings and improvement in insulation value
upto 10 Mega ohm.

Testing Panel Repair Console
Also some of the defects observed during testing are being rectified during
maintenance. 100% working of AC system through Microprocessor Controller unit is
being ensured in LHB Coaches.
2.2 Repair & Testing of Regulated & Emergency Battery Chargers (RBC & EBC) of LHB
Coaches:
Earlier, these units were tested inside the coach Switch Board Cabinet during
overhauling to see their working but were being sent isolated, if found defective in
case their replacement with new was not available.
The RBC & EBC units are tested on Switch Board cabinet placed in Testing Room
before fitment in coach.
2.3 Test benches for Electronic thermostat, OHP, MCB, Thermal OLR & MMR:
Earlier there was not proper testing facility of different types of safety relays &
switches fitted in AC Coaches was being done in the coaches only as there was no
proper testing facilities were available for testing of their requisite electrical
parameters. Separate test bench for Electronic thermostat, Miniature circuit breaker
& thermal over load relay, measuring & monitoring relay test bench and electronic
equipment repair console has been developed in separate AC room which also having
the facility to impart training to the staff.
Earlier RDSO Recommended & prescribed Pull down Test for AC coaches was not
being carried out in accordance to the specified test conditions. Details have been
collected from RCF/KXH which is being followed by them for newly manufactured LHB
coaches. Similar arrangements have been developed at JUDW and standard practices
are being followed for carrying out Pull Down Test during POH of each AC coach and
since July’13 pull down test of every AC coach is being ensured.
13
Achievements:
Performance of AC unit got checked in the coach during the POH
Importance of proper sealing of doors is understood by the staff involved in the
POH of the AC coaches.
Factor affecting performance of AC system such as Blockage in air duct, leakage
of conditioned air from doors/louvers is identified and got rectified at workshop
level.

4.0 AC Control Panel and Gauge Panel Section
In this section complete overhauling and testing of AC Control Panel including Gauge
Panel is being carried out during POH of coaches. All safety devices i.e. thermal
overload relays, power contactors, MCBs, HRC fuses, relays and gauges/cutouts are
being tested as per recommended setting/rating.
15
Water Boiler Bottle cooler cum Deep freezer Hot case
The POH of Alternator, Diesel Engine and Power Panel along with various electrical
equipment of the Power Car are being carried out in this section.
16
4.0 Removal and cleaning of Radiators of LHB &GaribRath Power Cars :
The radiators of the LHB and Garibrath type Power cars could not be taken out for
cleaning due to inaccessibility of mounting bolts from the toilet side, as the walls of the
toilet are fabricated after fitment of radiators during manufacture at RCF. To overcome
these constraints, removal of radiators without damaging the body of the coach is being
done on regular basis. To ensure reliability of Radiators their filling with distilled water is
being ensured during POH.
5.0 Removal and Overhauling of Roof Extractor Motors of LHB & Garibrath Power Cars:
The roof extractor motors of LHB & Garibrath Power cars were not being taken out and
overhauled due to difficulty in their access. The removal of RE 1 & RE 4 is not possible
without opening engine accessories and the removal of RE 2 & RE 3 is not possible
without opening the Air intake filter assembly of engine. Removal & overhauling of
these roof extractor motors is being done on regular basis as system improvement
measure.
6.0 Developing Testing facility for Diesel Engine to test overhauled engines:
Jagadhri Workshop is doing POH & IOH of 09 Power cars per month. Earlier there was
no testing facility available to test overhauled diesel engines on the shop floor and
attend the defects, if any, before loading the same on the Power car or sending to
division. Non-availability of such facility was causing a lot of difficulty on account of
defects being noticed after loading in the Power car. To solve this problem a proper test
bench shown below has been developed in house by Jagadhri Workshop staff and
testing of every engine upto 250/300A Electrical load is being ensured before loading of
same in the Power Cars.
17
7.0 Proper securing of cables and cleaning of Cable trenches:
To improve the POH quality and safety in power cars work of proper securing of cables
and cleaning of cable trenches is being ensured on 100% basis.
Apart from above, Production control organization (PCO) is provided for stage
inspection and end inspection to check each activity during POH of coaches; this is to
ensure proper quality of POH of coaches. This organization also has the responsibility of
coordinating with stores branch for arranging/bringing all stocked material. This
organization also conducts time study for new jobs and review of the existing job times
as and when required, and maintains a log of all times taken for different POH activities
on a daily basis.
