<!-- Slide number: 1 -->  LONG HAUL & HEAVY HAUL TRAINS Compiled by : - S Velraj, Inst/Optg <!-- Slide number: 2 --> # Long Hauled Trains <!-- Slide number: 3 --> <!-- Slide number: 4 --> # General To meet the requirement of increasing “Through put” on Indian Railways, Railway Board has adopted the policy of running Long Haul Trains. It means clubbing together of two or more trains. These trains are named as Python, Trishul & Garuda etc. So, long haul trains are twice or multiple times longer than the normal composition of freight trains, provide a very effective solution to the problem of capacity constraints in critical sections. <!-- Slide number: 5 --> # Vasuki SECR Zone has the record of operating the longest freight train on IR network. The total length of the freight train was around 3.5 KM after joining the five rakes and it was named ‘Vasuki’. The distance between Bhilai to Korba is 224 KMs and the long-haul train named Vasuki covered the whole distance with five rakes of a freight train. <!-- Slide number: 6 --> # Advantages ( major operational benefits) a) Saving of path across congested routes, Quicker transit time. b) Maximizing the throughput of critical sections c) Saving in crews, reduces the cost of operations. d) Section capacity will increase. e) Helps to achieve stiff targets, helps IR to serve its freight customers better. f) Helps to increase average speed of goods trains. g) Decongests busy sections. <!-- Slide number: 7 --> <!-- Slide number: 8 --> <!-- Slide number: 9 --> <!-- Slide number: 10 --> <!-- Slide number: 11 --> <!-- Slide number: 12 --> <!-- Slide number: 13 --> <!-- Slide number: 14 --> <!-- Slide number: 15 --> # Heavy Hauled Trains <!-- Slide number: 16 --> | WAGON DIMENSIONS | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Description | Code | Tare (t) | Pay Load (t) | Lengt h over CBC | Height from RL | Type of Coupling | | Bogie Covered Wagon | | | | | | | | Bogie Covered Wagon | BCN | 27.2 | 54.08 | 15429 | 3788 | Straight CBC | | Bogie Covered Wagon | BCNA | 24.5 | 56.73 | 14450 | 4017 | Straight CBC | | Bogie covered Wagon- Stainless Steel | BCNAHL | 20.8 | 70.8 | 10963 | 4305 | Straight CBC | | Bogie Covered Wagon with High speed bogie | BCNAHS | 24.6 | 56.68 | 14450 | 4017 | Straight CBC | | Bogie Covered Wagon - Stainless steel | BCNHL | 20.8 | 70.8 | 10963 | 4305 | Straight CBC | | Bogie Covered with Vacuum brake | BCXC | 28.5 | 52.78 | 15782 | 3762 | Straight CBC | | Bogie covered Wagon | BCCW | 23.0 | 64.03 | 10713 | 1105 | Straight CBC | <!-- Slide number: 17 --> # Calculation of commodity weight Tare Weight - Empty wagon weight 24.4 T Gross Weight - Total Weight 81.13 Net weight - Commodity weight 56.73T (56.73 + 24.4 = 81.13) Calculation of load on the empty BCN rake of 42 BCN+BVZI 42 X 24.4 + 24 = 1024.8 + 24 = 1048.8T Calculation of load of a BCN rake fully loaded with commodity 42 X 81.13 + 24 = 3407.46 + 24 = 3431.46 T AXLE LOAD 81.13 / 4 = 20.28 T <!-- Slide number: 18 --> | Description Types of Coaches | Lengt h over head stock (MM) | Lengt h over buffer (MM) | Tare weight (Tones) | Carryi ng capaci ty (Tons) | Gross load (Tones) | Max.
