Super Savings on Fabulous Flexi-Vans 21-March2012Flyer.ps 2/2/12 5:24 PM Page 21 Super Savings on Fabulous Flexi-Vans In 1957 New York Central tested the Flexi-Van system, featuring low-profile skeleton cars and special trailers with removable wheels (bogies). The lightweight design was well suited for fast freight runs and many were later modified for passenger trains. Although successful, the Flexi-Van system was eclipsed in the late 70s by 89' flatcars built to handle trailers and/or containers.

  • Level Crossing Accident at Penrhyn, Ffestiniog Railway, 6 January 2019 Important Safety Messages
    Level crossing accident at Penrhyn, Ffestiniog Railway, 6 January 2019 Important safety messages • This accident serves as a reminder of why it is important to follow railway rules and operating instructions. Many rules have developed from the experience of past accidents and incidents. The reason why a rule exists is not always obvious, and may have been forgotten as time passes, but the importance of complying with it does not diminish. • The consequences of a train running onto a level crossing into the path of a road vehicle can be fatal; ensuring trains stop at a ‘Stop’ board placed at a safe distance from a level crossing open to road traffic is a sensible and realistic precaution against inadvertent overruns. • It is also important that organisations have measures in place to assure themselves that rules and instructions are being followed, rather than allowing unsafe ‘custom and practice’ to develop. Summary of the accident On Sunday 6 January 2019 at around 16:30 hrs, an engineering train returning from Tan y Bwlch to Minffordd did not stop as it approached the level crossing at Penrhyn. The gates were closed across the railway, and the train struck the upper gate and pushed through it, coming to a stand part way across the crossing, fouling both carriageways of the road, the A4085. There were no injuries, and minor damage was caused to the crossing gates on the Tan y Bwlch side of the crossing. On applying the locomotive brakes with the intention of stopping short of the gate, the driver realised that the locomotive wheels had locked and that the train was continuing to move down the 1 in 80 gradient.

  • Operational Rail Vehicle Strategy 2019-2034 Operational Rail Vehicle Strategy 2019-2034
    OPERATIONAL RAIL VEHICLE STRATEGY 2019-2034 OPERATIONAL RAIL VEHICLE STRATEGY 2019-2034 INTRODUCTION The Science Museum Group (SMG) through the National Railway Museum (NRM) owns the largest fleet of operating historic locomotives in the United Kingdom, so it’s essential that we have a strategy to ensure the most effective and efficient use of these vehicles. The NRM, Locomotion and Science & Industry Museum in Manchester (SIM) will continue to operate a select number of rail vehicles from our collection. Showing our collections in action is one of the most direct tools we have to share our key values with visitors: revealing wonder, igniting curiosity and sharing authentic stories. What’s more, our visitors expect a train ride. We need to meet that expectation whilst managing our collection in the most professional and responsible manner. A commercially viable and deliverable plan will see a core selection of operating vehicles at York and Locomotion within the maintenance capabilities of teams at those locations. These have been chosen for reasons of accessibility, affordability, income potential, attractiveness to visitors, practicality of operation and sustainable repair as well as the railway stories they reveal. We use our rail vehicles in various ways with priority always given for static display for our visitors at York and Shildon. Other ways in which we use them are: operation on museum sites; static loans to accredited museums; operating loans to heritage railways; main line operation. Our loans reach diverse audiences across the UK, making the national collection accessible to many. These vehicles are brand ambassadors for our mission of inspiring future engineers and scientists.

  • Types of Rolling Stock
    CLASSIFICATION & NOMENCLATURE OF COACHING STOCK ROLLING STOCK Rolling stock comprises all the vehicles that move on a railway. It usually includes both powered and unpowered vehicles, for example locomotives, railroad cars, coaches and wagons. However, in some countries (like UK), the term is usually used to refer only to non-powered vehicles; specifically excluding locomotives which may be referred to as running stock, traction or motive power. CLASSIFICATION OF ROLLING STOCK Rolling stock are classified into following two groups, according to the availability of power source to move on the track SELF-PROPELLED VEHICLE: These are railway vehicles that do not require a separate power source to move over the railway track. For example- Locomotives, Rail Cars, Electrical multiple Units (EMUs), Diesel Multiple units (DMUs) Diesel Breakdown Cranes, Motor trolleys etc. NON SELF-PROPELLED VEHICLE: These are railway vehicles that need a separate power source like locomotives to move over the railway track. For example- Coaching Stock and Freight Stock FUNCTION OF ROLLING STOCK ❖ Locomotives: These are source of power used to haul a train, a coach or a wagon etc. ❖ Coaching stock: Coaching stocks are used for transporting passengers. ❖ Freight Stock: Freight Stocks (Wagon) are used mainly for transporting goods and live stocks etc. ❖ Diesel/ Steam Break down Crane: These are rail mobile cranes used in case of railway accident for lifting loads, derailed wagon or coaches. Diesel/ Steam Break down Crane are part of accident relief trains which are used for rescue & restoration operation. ❖ Motor trolleys: These are used for inspection of railway track by staff of engineering department.

After eight per cent GDP growth, policy prescriptions are directed at attaining ten per cent growth rate. The present emphasis is on integrating Indian economy with the world economy. Achieving robust growth in exports and increasing the share of India’s external trade in the world trade thus assume great importance. Globalisation will induce competition and thereby lay stress on cost reduction both in production and in the commodity logistics. Heavy investments in infrastructure, including the transport sector, are planned. Apart from physical structure, financial inputs must allow attributes of quality to be imparted in the system. Containerisation brings about a qualitative change in transport system and plays a crucial role in the logistics-chain cost- reduction and improvement in quality at the delivery level. Containerisation has totally transformed the structure of the transport industry. Though late, India is catching up fast in attaining world standards in containerisation. CONCOR has played a stellar role in promoting containerisation in the country by rail though in a quarantined environment, protected by the state from competition.
