Have you seen the dirtiest Indian railway tracks? Have you ever wondered how this can be cleaned efficiently?Here comes the Revolutionary idea! No more dirty tracks!
Indian Engineers have designed a Vacuum train or a vacuum cleaner to remove the garbage from the train tracks. Probably this would be the most powerful and largest vacuum cleaner in the world!
An old unused engine is transformed to a moving cleaner! A compressor attached to the diesel engine, which sucks the garbage from the tracks into the garbage bins placed in the engine compartment.
CR general manager Kul Bhushan came up with this idea and CR engineers worked on this project at Parel workshop.
The design is not very impressive but, it would be great if it works effectively to the purpose it is made for!
Just think how efficient we are! An unused engine, now working to keep the rail tracks clean, good!
The vacuum train is already in operation between Kurla and Wadala stations, and CST and Masjid station, which is identified as the dirtiest train station in the country! At the moment it works night shifts!
This definitely will help to keep the tracks clean, we need to use lot of fuel, pollute the environment and invest in people and time!
What if people made aware? What if people understand the importance? What if people started using bins in the public places?
It would be big step forward!
A thought to think! Once my friend mentioned,
"Think your country as your mother; will you throw garbage on the roads then?"

You are requested to visit railway station of Surat. Full of human fecal material on track. No proper cleaning being carried out. There are companies in Europe and USA who supply such equipments and may offer services also. I have visited some sites, and equipments are quite good in design, so must be efficient as well. I request Indian Railways to take up this job on priority. I do not carry my grand sons to visit railway station because I am afraid of infection. It smells also bad. You may say, passengers need to be educated about avoiding use at railway stations; but, natural call is natural call, and most of the population is illiterate.
In fact track must have been designed like furrow and drain points in the center to facilitate flushing at least.
We have not achieved perfection to maintain space between train and station platform to ensure safe getting into and landing out from the train. I am not criticizing, but care has not been taken. we talk big of building world class Railway station. Only Railway has added is good looking food parlor only. Otherwise railway technology? Need much much brainstorming and action.
