ACHIEVEMENTS:-

1.1

Dhuri (DUI) station commissioned a Distributed Electronic Interlocking (Westrace Make) Std. III with Dual VDU, replacing mechanical interlocking. This installation features 611 routes, 128 track circuits, 43 crank handles, and 91 point machines (32 TWS and 59 IRS) across 12 lines. The system includes 44 main signals, 28 dependent shunts, and 23 independent shunts. Power is managed by five Statcon IPS units (Central and RH1-RH4), all equipped with AFDAS and fire suppression systems. Block working is provided via UFSBI with HASSDAC for the DUI-ALAL double line, DUI-KLSX double line, DUI-HMI single line, and DUI-BSS single line.

1.2

A departmental alteration in the centralized Westrace Electronic Interlocking system was commissioned at Pilkhani (PKY) station of the UMB division. The station infrastructure consists of 57 routes, 42 track circuits, 17 point machines, 9 crank handles, and an Amara Raja IPS, managing 18 main signals along with 6 dependent and 10 independent shunts. This commissioning involved the removal of one traffic LC gate and one block section LC gate, corrections to the aspect sequence, and the extension of one LC gate to align with the DFCCIL line. Additionally, the SMCR contact was removed from the HR circuit of the DN advanced starter, and new provisions were made for ASCR indications on both sides as well as XCKR indication for the LC gate

1.3

A new Ballast Siding cum RGM Siding was successfully commissioned at Dhansu (DNX) station on the DUI-HSR section of the UMB division, the project involved departmental alterations to the existing Hitachi Electronic Interlocking circuit and VDU, with 28 routes tested. Physical additions included one trap point (43), one crank handle (CH-3), one shunt signal (SH-23), and the extension of track circuit 41AT. Furthermore, the interlocked Traffic LC-52C ELB was replaced from Global make to Pragati make, supported by the installation of two new outdoor relays and 16 new relays in the relay room

1.4

At Fatuhi (FTH) station on the BTI-SGNR section of the UMB division, Northern Railway successfully commissioned a CEL SSDAC axle counter for the 20T track. This work involved alterations to the existing Westrace Electronic Interlocking circuit and VDU, with a total of 27 routes tested. Key changes included the removal of interlocked Traffic LC 82, updating of CSRs for Line 1, Line 2, and the siding, and the new provision of a counter for sub-route release.
