00:00Every single train comes to this Light Repair Workshop every three days.

00:18They come here for two hours for inspection and maintenance, so that is the three-day

00:26inspection for the Light Repair Workshop.

00:29This Light Repair Workshop is also used for the three-monthly and six-monthly.

00:33The three-monthly takes eight hours, the six-monthly takes two days, and then the yearly one also

00:39is done in this Light Repair Workshop.

00:43Every single part of the train goes through inspection.

00:54You may be changing a certain portion of a track, for instance, and you need to take

00:59a track, a piece of the track, with you to decide to go through the trailer and you cannot

01:05use it.

01:06We have these maintenance vehicles, take it to the area that you need, offload it, and

01:11they can change it.

01:12They can do all the maintenance.

01:13Roundness, crack, or any dent mark, anything, if there, means it will take the measurement

01:25and it will send to the underfloor wheel light, then it will be reconditioned.

01:29How often do you do this test on the train?

01:33Every twelve days once, the train will pass by here, with a speed of ten to twelve kilometers

01:37per hour.

01:38The reading will be taken automatically.

01:40So the measurement is taken as the train is moving?

01:45Yes, moving only.

01:46While stopping it will not take any measurements.
