Here is the better Image of this click here
The team of Northern Railway Diesel Loco Shed, Shakurbasti at New Delhi, developed the concept for the design of very large, heavy duty equipment mounted on a Railway wagon. This equipment has been fabricated by associating M/s TPS Infrastructure Limited, New Delhi, and is approx. 9-10 times more powerful than a normal blower of a vacuum cleaner, which is used in homes. This machine would clean tracks inclusive of an area of 600mm. alongside the track and with an extendable hose provided, the machine can clean up to 6 mtrs. This machine has a capacity to store 6 MT. waste. This machine can be tilted at the earmarked place to empty the waste.

The resource for development of this prototype was utilized from the CSR fund of IRCON International Ltd.
Cleanliness of railway tracks especially at railway station areas remains a Herculean task involving great effort and large amounts of time, as despite regular and frequent cleaning efforts tracks are normally littered with all kinds of waste such as polythene, paper bags, plastic bottles, torn clothes, unconsumed food, litter etc. All the major stations are being cleaned through professional agencies with emphasis on mechanized cleaning system wherever possible. However to overcome the constraint of the staggering issue of litter at major stations, the Railways decided to develop a mechanized solution for this problem. The present machine is the first prototype to meet this objective. It is envisaged to augment the cleaning efforts at station yards considerably.

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
