GUWAHATI, Jan 8: Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has introduced the Fluke ii905 Acoustic Imager at the Sick Line and Pit Line of Guwahati Coaching Depot to improve detection of air brake and pneumatic system leakages and enhance coach safety.
The technology enables fast visual detection of DV leakage, air bellow leakage and air brake pipe leakage by mapping acoustic signals over visible images. This allows precise pinpointing of leaks, reduces diagnostic time and ensures timely rectification, thereby improving operational efficiency. Pit Line staff have been trained in the use of computerised RTR machines and advanced diagnostic tools to maximise effectiveness.

In addition, the Sick Line/Guwahati has launched the “One Day One Coach–INTENSIVE” initiative, where one coach undergoes comprehensive overhauling daily. Works include exterior painting, installation of passenger amenities, replacement of berth rexine, repairs to linen storage, installation of new EPPF cylinders in lavatories, and provision of dustbins and side mirrors. Three coaches have been completed so far under this programme. These initiatives underline NFR’s commitment to passenger safety, quality maintenance, and continual upgradation through modern technology.
