| NFR Strengthens Rail Safety and Efficiency Through Modern Detection Technologies | | |
Early Times Report
MALIGAON, Feb 4: The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has taken significant steps to enhance train safety and improve operational efficiency across its network through the commissioning of advanced monitoring and inspection systems.
To strengthen rolling stock safety, a total of 30 Hot Box Detectors have been successfully commissioned at strategic locations across the NFR network. These detectors continuously monitor the temperature of axle box bearings of running trains and help in early detection of overheating conditions, commonly known as "hot box" incidents, thereby preventing potential derailments and service disruptions. In addition, 43 more Hot Box Detectors are currently under procurement, which will further augment the safety monitoring framework of NFR.
Further improving freight train reliability, three Automatic Train Examination Systems (ATES) have been installed at New Jalpaiguri (NJP). These systems automatically detect wheel defects, axle box defects, missing or damaged wagon doors and other abnormalities. By recording critical data before trains enter examination depots, ATES enables maintenance staff to plan timely repairs and rectifications, significantly reducing inspection time and ensuring smoother and more reliable freight operations. |
