Railway Track Cleaning Machine launched by Northern Railway Division

Railway Track Cleanliness especially at railway station areas remains a Herculean task involving great effort and large amounts of time, as despite regular and frequent cleaning efforts tracks are normally littered with all kinds of waste such as unconsumed food, polythene, plastic bottles, paper bags, torn clothes, litter etc.

All the major stations are being cleaned through professional agencies with emphasis on mechanized cleaning system wherever possible. However to overcome the constraint of the staggering issue of litter at main stations, the Railways decided to develop a mechanized solution for this problem.

The present machine is the first example to meet this objective. It is envisaged to supplement the cleaning efforts at station yards considerably. This Machine is 9-10 times more powerful than a normal blower of a vacuum cleaner, which is used in homes. This machine would clean tracks inclusive of an area of 600MM. alongside the track and with an extendable hose provided, the machine can clean up to 6 MTRS.
