3 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune Location of INDIAN RAILWAYS INSTITUE OF CIVIL ENGINEERIG PUNE Station Name : PUNE Railway Station Junction Name : PUNE JN Railway Zone : CENTRAL RAILWAY State Name : MAHARASHTRA Division : Pune Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 3

4 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune HISTORY OF INDIAN RAILWAYS INSTITUE OF CIVIL ENGINEERIG IRICEN is the training institute for the Civil engineers of the Indian Railways. The institute had a modest start in 1959 as the Permanent Way Training School for training entry level Civil engineers. It is now a Centralised Training Institute and trains officers of the IRSE cadre of the Indian Railways Located in the historical and cultural city of Pune IRICEN imparts training to up to 100 engineers/ managers at a time. Engineers from railways of the developing countries as well as other government departments/private organisations are also trained. The training programmes are generally residential in nature. Available infrastructure for conducting various training programmes includes a well-stocked technical library computer centre material testing laboratory model room/ museum hostel mess and recreational facilities for the trainee officers. The institute also trains railway engineers for other agencies including RITES IRCON NTPC etc. The IRICEN is one of six Centralised Training Institutes that share the task of training of officers. The other Centralised Training Institutes are: Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 4

5 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune 1. Signal system:- Signaling consists of the system devices and means by which trains are operated efficiently and tracks are used to maximum extent maintaining the safety of passengers. It includes the use and working of signals points block instrument and other equipment. OBJECTIVES OF SIGNALING: - To provide facilities for the efficient movement of trains. To ensure safety between two or more trains which cross or approach each other s path. To provide facilities for maximum utility of track. To guide the trains movement during maintenance and repair. Various instruments like Battery in red and green colors light flag etc are used for providing signals to move trains. Sr.no Colour of flag / light Meaning of signals 1 Red flag / light STOP 2 Green flag / light PROCEED 3 Yellow light PROCEED COUTIOUSLY Location characteristics In view of position where the signals are located they can be divided into following categories: Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 5

6 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune 1) Reception signals: The signals which control the reception of trains into a station are called reception signals. 2) Departure signals : The signals which control the dispatch of trains from the station are known as departure signal Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 6

7 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune 2. Turnout table:- It is connection system which is used to divert the train from one track to another track. If the train is diverted to the right hand side it known as right hand turnout. On the other hand if the train is diverted to the left hand side it is known as left hand side turnout. Turn out At Baramati station there are two turnouts. In which one is operated by physical method and other by electrically operated mechanism Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 7

9 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune 3. Rail brake (Air brake type): It s a advance type of braking system used in trains. To increase the safety of the passengers and smooth stopping of trains this braking system has proved efficient. In these brakes the pressurized air is released and the air releasing valves are opened due to which the brakes are applied Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 9

10 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune 4) Component part of permanent way. Rail gauge:- The clear horizontal distance between top of the inner faces of two rails on the railway track is called as rail gauge. Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 10

11 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune The Common Gauges Used By Indian Railways: 1) Broad Gauge (B.G.) 2) Meter Gauge (M.G.) 3) Narrow Gauge (N.G.) At Pune station there is a use of Broad gauge having gauge distance of m. In this image we can see the comparison all types of gauges with their respective gauge distances. Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 11

12 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune Factors Affecting Selection of Gauge: Funds Availability: For the railway project. Cost of Construction. Volume of Traffic: Heavy or light. Revenue Generation: Whether prospect is more or less. Intensity of Population: Thick or thin population. Topography of the Country. Prospect of Future Development. Rails: The trains run on the vertical I-sections made up of steel and these sections are called as rails. The rails are fixed with each other by means of rail fastenings and are rested on sleepers which are laid in right angles to them. The rail section consists of three components viz. head web and foot. 12 Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 12

13 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 13

14 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune Depending upon these three components of rail section there are three types of rails. 1) Double Headed 2)Bull Headed 2) Flat Footed Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 14

15 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune 4) Rail fastenings: rail fastenings are the tools which are used to connect rails to sleepers joining one rail to other rails. Types Of Rail Fastenings Fish Plates Spikes Bolts Chairs And Keys Bearing Plates Fish plate Spikes Dog spikes Screw spikes Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 15

16 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune Bolts Sleepers Railway sleeper is a rectangular support for the rails in railroad tracks. Generally laid perpendicular to the rails ties transfer loads to the track ballast and sub grade hold the rails upright and keep them spaced to the correct gauge. Concrete sleepers Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 16

17 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune Function of Sleepers 1. Maintain Alignment 2. Load Distribution 3. Holding The Rails 4. Absorb Vibration 5. Maintain proper Super Elevations 6. Stability of Permanent Way Cast iron sleepers Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 17

18 Ballast: Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune The material placed in-between the sleeper and the top of the formation is known as ballast. The load from wheels of train ultimately comes to ballast through rails and sleepers. it is a foundation of railway track and it is placed just below the sleepers. Railway Ballast in the form of aggregate Dr.D.Y.Patil School of Engineering Lohegaon Pune Page 18

20 Visit to Indian railway institute of civil engineering Pune Students Feedback- Site visit was very successful. Students could study different components of Railway and could see different operations such as Changing of Track and applying brakes etc. Station is very nearby to College and it is very helpful to correlate Theory and Practical applications. We are extremely thankful to our honourable Principal S.S.Sonavane sir and Prof.Satpude Sir for who kindly guided students and demonstrated all the operations.
