LOCO PARAMETERS

TO BE RECORDED AFTER ACCIDENT

1. Performa for Motive Power ( Diesel & Electric ) in case of Accident Derailment

INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED BY THE LOCO DEPT.

 Basic information:
 Date of Accident:
 Train No.:
 Loco Class:
 Loco Number:
 Loco manufacture year and place :
 Base Shed of Loco :
 Date & Place last POH :
 Kilometers earned after last POH :
 Date & place of last major inspection :
 Date & place of last schedule inspection :
 Whether any schedule is overdue? :

2. Give brief particulars of the safety items not provided or provided but missing / not working
Whether Loco is provided with;

Provided/ Not
Safety fittings Working Missing
provided

Headlight

Speedometer

Speed Recorder

Flasher light

Horn

3. Check & record the observations as follows:


1. Position of control handles, cutout cocks etc.
2. Functioning of brake synchronizing valve.
3. Position of brake blocks whether applied or not
4. Condition of cattle guard.
5. Any sign of seizure of roller bearing in axle box (Relevant in case of derailed axle).
6. Comments if any coil spring is broken or displaced.
7. Condition of pivot of bogie.
8. Any mechanical defect of the locomotive, which might endanger safe running of loco.

Note: Defective or broken material should be sent to CMT for testing, if necessary
4. Measurements for Wheels for all Classes Locomotives with wheel gauge ( tyre defect
gauge) Locations applicable for BO-BO Loco.

Sl No Description
1 Particulars of axle (ID No.)
2 Diameter of wheel at tread
3 Wheel Flange thickness
Wear limit 3mm
4 Wheel Root wear
Wear limit 6mm
5 Tread wear
Wear limit 6.5mm
6 UST of axle: Give the date of last UST test done

Performa for Measurement of Locomotive after Accident

Sl No Description

1 Buffer /coupler height!


Measurement of parameters such as buffer length etc may also be done
to check possibility of buffer entanglement.

2 Lateral clearances End Axles (1,3,4 & 6)


Middle Axles (2&5)

3 Lateral clearances End Axles (1,2.3 & 4)

4 Longitudinal clearances between axle box & bogie pedestal liner (for
all axles)

5 Longitudinal clearances between axle box & bogie pedestal liner (for
middle axles)

6 Height of Rail Guard from rail level

7 Condition of suspension springs i.e. normal/ broken fresh and old


fracture or deformities occurred after derailment due to sudden
impact.

Notes:
 Wheel number one is the outer end axle of truck under the short hood and wheel count
increases towards the Long hood on diesel loco, where as for Electric Loco, wheel number one
is the outer end axle under Cab-1(Cab-1 is that side of the loco which has the compressors) and
wheel count increases towards the Cab-2.
◦ All measurements are to be taken in shed on a level, un-canted track.
*Service limits given in the Maintenance Manual are for good maintenance practice and these
are:

SI. Description Remarks

1 Wheel gauge All measurements shall be taken on a


For checking wheel gauge, average of level tangent un-canted track. These
three measurements at equal spacing measurements are for unloaded wheels,
on the inner periphery of the two should be taken in workshop after
wheels on the same axle is to be dismantling. Information is relevant in
recorded. Check for bent axle, if any. case of wheel disc shifting /bent axle
only.
For safety, similar limits as applicable
for track gauge are relevant for wheel
gauge also.
