The distance between the two rails in Broad Gauge in India is:
Who was the Governor-General during the first train run in India?
Who was the first railway minister after the independence of India?
Calculate the hauling capacity of a 1-4-1 locomotive when the coefficient of rail-wheel friction and weight on each driving axle are 0.30 and 23 tonnes respectively. 
When was the first train started from Indian to Pakistan?
What would be the admissible gradient for a BG track when the grade resistance coupled with a 4° curve resistance shall equal the resistance due to a ruling gradient of 1 in 200?
When two tracks of the same or different gauges cross each other at any angle, the crossing provided is
Identify the correct statement(s) associated with providing super elevation on railway curves. S1. Cant Excess : Occurs when the train travels around a curve at a speed higher than the equilibrium speed. S2. Cant Deficiency : Difference between the actual cant provided and the theoretical cant required at low speeds. S3. Maximum permissible speed: Highest speed permitted to a train on a curve taking into consideration the radius of Curvature, actual cant, cant deficiency, cant excess, and the length of transition.
On railway tracks, the corrugation normally occurs on stretches where:
Sleeper density in India is normally kept as:- (Where M = rail length in m)
For MG track standard specifications, concrete sleepers, wherever provided, should have a minimum ballast cushion of:
IRC has introduced new Special Vehicle (SV) class loading for select corridor where passage of trailor vehicle carrying stator units, turbine, heavy equipment & machinery etc. may occur. What is the amount of vehicle load for IRC class SV loading ?
The sleeper density of a broad gauge track is (M + 7) in metric units, where M is length of rail in metres. The number of sleepers for 1.024 km length of track is:
Consider the following statements concerning railways: 1. A level stretch equal to the maximum train length is to be provided between the gradient reaches where a rising gradient is followed by a falling gradient. 2. Vertical curves in railway tracks are not set out as parabolas. 3. Diamond crossings can be laid on curves also. 4. Curves should be avoided at the top level segment of bridges. Which of the above statements are correct?
The number of sleepers used for rails varies from, Where 'n' length of rail in 'm'
