This compendium will provide a glimpse of the events and technological upgradation over last 80 years since inception of this committee. As very old records were not available easily, efforts have been made to collect as much records for the ESC, particularly for pre-independence period. Initially separate ESC meetings used to be held for General Services and Traction. From 49th ESC onward, which was held in January’1999 at Pune, a decision was taken to convene a common ESC meeting for all items of Electrical department. This compendium will be updated regularly so that all the records are available at one place. Moreover, a copy of this compendium is also available on RDSO’s official website. (Om Prakash Kesari) Executive Director Standard Electrical(CO-ORD), Electrical Directorate, RDSO, Lucknow Compendium of ESC 1935-2014 Page 3 OBJECTIVE OF ELECTRICAL STANDARDS COMMITTEE From a humble beginning of electric traction in 1925, today the Electrical Department has expanded manifold with TL&AC, TRS, EMU/MEMU and TRD as its branches over the years.

T.G. Creighton Dy. CCS (Secretary) Railway Board (SHIMLA) Compendium of ESC 1935-2014 Page 7 1st ESC/Shimla/1935 Subject 1:- Cardan Shaft Drive. (Paragraph 40 of the 15th Report of Carriage and Wagon Standard Committee) Recommendations & Decision: Paragraph (1) - The Committee noted - (a) that the train lighting gear drive supplied by Messrs. Mather & Platt and Company to the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway has proved a failure and as the firm were unable to guarantee a satisfactory job, the trials have been abandoned; (b) that after 38,000 miles service, the East Indian Railway found it necessary to renew the rubber pads in the Stones gear. The firm have supplied an improved type of moulded rubber section for the cush drive and experiments are continuing; [A. E. S. A equipment has so far completed 7.000 miles satisfactory service.] (c) that the Stones Cardan Shaft drive equipment had completed approximately 32500 miles on the North Western Railway when it was observed that the gear assembly was slack on the axle and had a diametrical movement of ¼” between gear housing and the axle. On examination uneven displacement of the rubber cushions was found which appeared due to the uneven taper of the I. R. S. axle design. After reference to the suppliers, it was arranged that they would provide new moulded rubber pads together with a complete new torque reaction assembly and this has been fitted to a parallel axle. The coach will shortly be put into service for further trial; [The A. E. S. A. Cardan Shaft Drive equipment will shortly be put on trial.] (d) The Committee opined that if axles were machined parallel, the application of the Stones gear will be simplified and the initial and recurring costs should be capable of reduction. The machining of parallel axles to accommodate and to facilitate alignment of axle pulleys is being considered at the next meeting of the Carriage and Wagon Standards Committee. Paragraph (2).- The Electrical Standards Committee, however, express doubt if any form of Cardan Shaft Drive will be financially justifiable due largely to- (i) enhanced initial cost. of the equipment compared with the belt drive; and (ii) the improved results obtained in recent years with the belt drive. Subject 2:- Water Raising Apparatus. (Paragraph 45 of the 15th Report of Carriage and Wagon Standard Committee) Recommendations & Decision: Paragraph (3).- The Committee note that- (a) Arrangements are in hand on the East Indian Railway and the North Western Railway for six trial sets of each of the water raising apparatus to sketches Nos. 3507 and Compendium of ESC 1935-2014 Page 8 1st ESC/Shimla/1935 3508 to be tried out. Results of these trials will, where possible, be compared with the experience gained up to date with the tap switch control and also the earlier compressed air water raising apparatus. (b) the new sample I. R. S. bogie third class carriage, now under construction by the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, will be fitted with the type of water raising system shown, vide sketches 3507 and 3508 accompanying the 15th Report of the Carriage and Wagon Standards Committee and will be available for demonstration and inspection in November 1935 at Delhi. Paragraph (4)- The Electrical Standards Committee are of the opinion that the electrically Driven centrifugal pump system with roof regulating Tank and float control switch will prove to be the most efficient method for water raising in carriages with under slung tanks. The importance of carrying out the experiments ordered, vide paragraph 45 of 15th Report of the Carriage and Wagon Standards Committee is appreciated and endeavors should be made to expedite these trials and to submit reports as soon as practicable.

  • Chapter VI 1
    Chapter VI The Strike and its Impact in the Northeast Frontier Railways This chapter discusses the causes and developments leading to the strike and the developments related to the strike in the Northeastern Frontier Railways. The N.F Railway’s authority had never headed to the demands of the workers hence the grievances were never redressed. As a result of this the workers were aggrieved. The result was the eruption of various types of labour unrests throughout the N.F Railways. In this chapter we concentrate on the situation of the N.F Railways in the period of the strike. The consequence of the strike in this zone was deep and diverse. Therefore the chapter examines the impact of the struggle of 1974 in N.F Railways. The chapter is divided into three sections. The first section has focussed its attention on the grievances of railwaymen in N.F Railways. In this section we also look at how the workers of N. F. Railway along with the other zones had prepared themselves for the general strike. The second section of the study discusses the strike situation throughout the N.F. Railway Zone. It summarises the developments that took place in the entire N.F. Railways in this period. The third section analyses the impact of the strike in the N.F. Railways as the struggle had a long term effect both economically and politically. 1 Grievances of the N.F Railway Workers and their Preparations for the Strike In this section of the study we begin with a brief history of the N.F Railways.

  • The Story of the Assam Rail Link Construction Project in 1947-50
    The Story of the Assam Rail Link construction project in 1947-50 And what happened to it later Before 1947 • All trains from Calcutta to North Bengal and the Northeast passed through areas which were to become part of East Pakistan. See the following maps: A closer look at the lines in northern Bengal Some trains of the 1943 Bradshaw • The Darjeeling Mail: Sealdah to Siliguri via Ranaghat, Hardinge bridge and Parbatipur • The Assam Mail: BG from Sealdah to Parbatipur, then by MG to Amingaon via Lalmanirhat, Gitaldaha and Golakganj • The Surma Mail: BG from Sealdah to Santahar, then by MG to ferry crossing, finally by MG to Mymensingh, Akhaura and Silchar More about the 1943 trains There were no express trains from North India to the North East, although there appears to have been a Prayag-Amingaon passenger via Katihar, Parbatipur and thence by the Assam Mail route. One can also mention the Dacca Mail and Chittagong Express which involved long boat trips from Goalundo. Effect of partition on rail lines • See the map with the border cutting the lines at numerous places: How the border cut the tracks The missing links • 1) Kishanganj-Siliguri NG line was to be converted to MG • 2) Siliguri-Bagrakot including Tista bridge- could use existing NG line up to Sivok • 3) Madarihat-Hashimara including Torsa bridge • 4) Alipur Duar to Fakiragram Further improvements • 1) A new station Siliguri Jn was set up north of the existing BG terminus-which is now Siliguri Town • 2) Siliguri to Sivok became a dual gauge NG-MG line, while the NG continued up the Tista valley to Gielle Khola • 3) A new station Alipur Duar Jn was set up north of the existing Alipur Duar station Improvements (contd) • 4) New stations at Bagrakot, New Mal and elsewhere • 5) New Gitaldaha Jn station set up north of existing junction-probably as it was too close to the border.
