Their damage or breakdown would, in fact, entail considerable material losses and endanger human lives. Maintenance of railway vehicles is scheduled in accordance with periodic inspections and regular repairs as per Railway Board’s & RDSO instructions. Inspections and repairs are prescribed according to the criteria of operational life, limited by the time of operation of a locomotive in traffic or according to the criteria of operational life including the path travelled.
