FREIGHT OPERATIONS

• Implementation of Operation Chetak
• Running time of trains was calculated on absolute
  basis i.e. running was calculated at the speed of
  75 Kmph and 60 Kmph (for Sumo rake). Analysis of
  detention is done against these timings. This
  has led to improvement in running of trains.
  Diesel loco utilization improved by 0.47 and
  electric loco utilization improved by 2.96.
• Extended Crew runs
• Emphasis was put on extended crew runs so as to
  cut down detention at major terminals like
  Varanasi, Roza, Ambala and Ludhiana. Average 800
  crack trains were run per month during
  2009-2010as against 598 cracks per month in the
  last year. The extended crew runs have led to
  reduction in running timing of power house rakes
  being received at MGS, 38-40 hrs. which used to
  be 60 hrs.

• Breaking the mould -
• Divisions are being encouraged to provide out of
  box solution to problems.
• Shortage of diesel locos led to running of long
  haul jumbo empties over Moradabad division.
• Now 22 loaded BCN wagons are being run in
  Haridwar Rishikesh / Harawala section with
  single WDG-3 loco as against 14 which were run
  earlier and full empty rake of jumbo is run with
  a single power on this section
• Multi has been replaced by single WDG4 on PTK-JAT
  section.
• Running of Down trains through to PBH and UP
  trains on FD loop
• To overcome shortage of jumbos N.R. used premium
  BCN rakes for internal loading and were able to
  achieve 4 loadings during their premium validity
  . This helped to maximize loading despite the
  shortage.
• Delhi division streamlined movement between
  GZB-SBB by making it direction wise reducing the
  running time to 20-30 min from 1-130 hrs. LKO
  division is also attempting similar exercise.
• Formulated guidelines regarding sidings of PCOs
• Standardizing statistical formats for divisions.

• Enabling through IT -
• New Operating website URL http//10.2.2.19/dept/o
  perating/index.htm
• Enables Operating Officers have topic wise
  availability of circulars Rate Freight
  Circulars, Freight Marketing Circulars, Traffic
  Transportation Circulars and many other useful
  links.
• Archival formats of Central Control to be
  generated from FOIS and record keeping to be made
  digital, reducing requirement of storage space
  and manpower.
• Concept Plan-
• Divisions have been asked to make long time plan
  for enhancement of freight terminal capacity and
  line capacity. LKO ,MB divisions have been
  reviewed.
