Six Months Industrial Training Report At Northen Railway Diesel Shed Pathankot (punjab)
DID SIX MONTHS INDUSTRIAL TRAINING IN KVR( KANGRA VALLEY RAILWAY)WHERE I TAKE OUT THE ZIST OF RAILWAY IN THE HILLY AREA . AND NOTE DOWN THE PERFORMANCE AND THE MAINTENANCE OF THE LOCOMOTIVE
Anything else would have ruined it. A different alignment, a different mode of taking the railway through the maze of hills and valleys would have spoilt its picture postcard perfectness. This unique line has just two tunnels, one of which is only 250 feet and the other 1,000 feet in length. The traveler must remember this is a total distance of 103 miles. Instead of boring his way through the mountains, the railway engineer has skillfully avoided running head first into the hillside. Instead of following dizzy curves, he has cleverly chosen to avoid the awkward corners and straighten his turning. For the Kangra Valley Railway presents to the traveler, a chance to gaze as long as he likes on the ever present panorama of snow-clad ranges and the gold green fields without being swung round every few minutes on a narrow are before his eyes can greet the scenery. The history of rail transport dates back nearly 500 years and includes systems with man or horse power and rails of wood or stone. Modern rail transport systems first appeared in england in the 1820s. These systems, which made use of the steam locomotive, were the first practical forms of mechanized land transport, and they remained the primary form of mechanized land transport for the next 100 years
