New Delhi. After Vande Bharat Express, Vande Bharat Sleeper train is also going to start. Its trial is going on around Kota in Rajasthan. Its photo is also coming continuously. You must have also seen the photo inside the train. In which the entire train is seen empty, canisters are kept in it. A question is arising in the minds of common people that why are the canisters kept and what happens in them. Railway officials are giving answers to such questions, you should also know –
To provide relief to long distance passengers, Railways is now going to run Sleeper Vande Bharat after Vande Bharat. The present Vande Bharat is seating, hence it cannot be run for long distances. One sleeper is ready in Vande Bharat and the other is almost ready in ICF. Trial of a train is going on in Kota.
Why are coins kept?
Dilip Kumar, Executive Director, Information and Publicity, Railway Ministry, said that during the trials, Vande Bharat runs empty, hence as per the capacity of the passengers, canisters filled with sand of the same weight are kept and run along with them at the prescribed speed. In this way the trial is done with weight. Which is called oscillation trial. The same trial is being conducted in the sleeper Vande Bharat currently running in Kota.
seven types of trials
A total of seven trials are conducted by running Vande Bharat Express on the track. All these trials are conducted under the supervision of RDSO (Research Design and Standards Organization) and Railway Board. Oscillation trial is done to check the stability and vibration of the train. In this, empty and loaded trains are run at speeds up to 115 km/hr and then up to 180 km/hr.
Apart from this, braking and stability tests are done by driving at speed in high-speed confirmatory trials. In a confirmatory oscillograph car run trial, the coordination between the coach and the track is recorded. Braking distance trial: Emergency and normal braking are applied at different speeds. Coupler Force Trial: The force exerted on the coupler attached between coaches is measured during acceleration and braking. All systems are tested by running long distance running trials without stopping.
