  1. SMALL TRACK MACHINES By Anil Choudhary Sr Prof/IRICEN

  2. MECHANISATION • Mechanized maintenance of track was introduced in early sixties. • Track machines are of two categories: • Heavy track machines • Small track machines. • For Heavy track machines, Track Machine Manual was first published in March, 2000. • For Small track machines (STM), Manual was first published in July, 2005.

  3. VARIOUS SMALL TRACK ACHINES • Machines For Operations on RAIL • Machines For Operations on Sleeper • Machines For WELDING OPERATIONS • Machines For Operation on Fittings • Machines For Lifting and Slewing of track • Machines For TRANSPORTATION/ HANDLING of Men/Material • Machines For Track Ballast

  4. Yardstick Of STM (Minimum)(Annexure-1, modified vide ACS-01 & 05) • Minimum yardstick of availability of STMs as per Annexure-1 • In the list, only min requirement is specified & all machines are not part of list. • Additional requirement of other STMs wherever required shall be worked out based on requirement of individual Division/Zonal Railways (As per list of STM approved by Railway board and as per local conditions) • Additional spare machines may be kept at Divisional/Sub divisional depot, to be decided by Zonal Railways based on actual need to be used in emergencies. • Such spare machines shall be frequently used so that they remain in good condition.
