The comprehensive theoretical part of the training covered a variety of topics, including:
- In-depth knowledge of manganese crossings and rail steels
- the complex dynamics of rail-wheel contact in tracks and turnouts
- Wear and defects in rails/crossings
- Choosing the right temperatures and welding processes for rails and manganese crossings
- Selection of the correct electrodes and tools
- Equipment and methods for efficient inspection and repair of railroad systems.
- Fault detection and repair procedures
- Preventive maintenance and turnout geometry
The participants were able to improve and refine their practical skills with the active involvement of real scenarios, including manual grinding of tracks and points. The focus lay on understanding the most important maintenance tasks and building confidence in successfully carrying out this work themselves.
The following topics were covered in the practical part:
- Preventive and corrective maintenance in turnouts
- Repair welding at crossings
- Manual grinding in track and turnouts
The success, measured by the satisfaction of the participants, underlines the commitment of the Railway Systems Academy and all employees.
