Since these wagons were used to transporting petroleum, crude and vegetable oil, it required technical expertise to clean these wagons and make them fit for carrying potable water. <br><br>The water carrying capacity is 54,000 litres per wagon, but usually it can bear 50,000 litres of water. <br><br>The chief works manager of the Kota Workshop took up the challenge to prepare these wagons in a record short time. <br><br>The work included steam cleaning, sludge removal, de-scaling, de-greasing and then a final cleaning of the wagons to make them fit for transportation of drinking water. <br><br>The wagons carrying vegetable oil develop thick layers of sludge inside and outside. In the first stage, wagons were steam cleaned for 12 hours for removing loose sludge, following which all the valves and pipe fittings were removed for cleaning, inspection and overhauling.<br><br>In the second stage, the remaining sludge had to be removed by steel scrapers manually, followed by a second round of scrapping. In the third stage, kerosene oil had to be applied by hand brush and left for half an hour to dissolve the fine layer of sludge and rust that usually remains after final scraping. <br><br>The wagons were then chemically treated for an hour to dissolve remaining grease and rust. In the final round, high pressure water jet was used to get a thorough and spotless cleaning. <br><br>Water put in the wagons was then drained and tested for TDS and oil and chemical contents and cleaning was declared complete only after a laboratory test declared the water fit. <br><br>Railways to the rescue<br><br>RAPID FIRE: Bakhtiark K Dadabhoy <br><br><br><br><br><br><br>DRM Pune Bakhtiar K Dadabhoy<br><br><br>■MODUS OPERANDI The Central Railways and Pune Division began the operation on request of Maharashtra government. After 100 wagons were provided by the Kota workshop, we started the actual work on transporting water from Miraj to Latur by the longest water train in India. Miraj was selected as the starting point because the station is close to the Krishna River, which has abundance of water. <br><br>■GROUNDWORK AT MIRAJ To start transporting water from Miraj, the local administration was required to lay some infrastructure near the Miraj railway station. However, as this was to take some time, railways started transporting water from its own resources to Latur. Additional pumps and hydrants were installed and wells were cleaned to store drinking water. <br><br>■ CHALLENGES INVOLVED The biggest challenge was filling water into the wagons. Movement of passenger trains was rescheduled to facilitate the filling of wagons on the platform. It took nearly 14 hours to it. Civil and electrical departments of railways worked in close coordination with state government to complete the work on time. <br><br>■ AVAILABILITY OF WATER With the Krishna River being close by, availability of water was not an issue. But to meet the requirement of drought-hit Latur, water supply was cut short in railway colonies and yard for cleaning of trains.
