the WCAM is destined to the scrap yard!!..its so badly maintained...

Whenever maintenance work is required to be done on the Overhead Equipment{OHE},The power is switched off in the concerned section.Whenever the OHE is rendered dead in such a manner the procedure is known as a Power Block.Power Blocks are required to be taken with the prior permission of the Traction Power Controller,Section Controller and the concerned Station Master in whose area the Power Block is to be taken.However,the sections adjoining the Power Block Section are kept energised to ensure that the movement of trains is least affected.As such to ensure that the Maintenance Personnel do not inadvertantly enter the Live Catenary area,boards such as the above are provided to ensure that no one strays beyond the Working Limit.

Some non-IR info. The banks of river Pench (board seen in pic.) is the place where the jungle boy was actually found ( named Mowglie later on!). A book was then written on him and then a movie made...

Great Pic. Thanks for bringing back some memories.. I was born in Chhindwara but have not been there for years now. Strangely, I remember that I might never have been to the Rly. Stn.!

According to a TPJ driver, the Time Delay Relay (TDR) is very sensitive in this loco from the 6th to the 8th notches. It doesn't entertain aggressive notching.

Shailesh, this is the MAS - HWH route

this is a push pull train in the sense that there is always a WAM46P at one end, to eradicate the reversal process that takes place at Renigunta. Hence the train has a drivers cab like EMU's, at one end when proceeding in one direction and on the return it wud be lead by the WAM46P.

Is this a MEMU or push-pull train wit a name given to it?
