Care while inspecting locomotives

Bulk head measurement in the cab should be observed in shop. If some trade cabs have over-sized bulk heads,  Inspection staff should not   pass any such cab.

Camber measurement with Dumphy Level (a kind of theodolite) should be inspected. Shown in above picture taking the camber measurement in underframe.

Anti collision post of WAP5 should be  measured for dimensions in the shop.

  

Below is the snap of TG Anti Collision Post.

It is to be observed that gap measurement between two posts is in the standard C&D format.

Non-standard nut of transformer mounting bolts should not be allowed( if found during shop inspection that nuts are under-sized) and we should not   generate movement slip  .
