The awarded employees demonstrated great zeal and commitment towards the safe running of trains in various safety areas such as the detection of rail and track fractures, hairline cracks in wheels, emergency brakes applied to prevent untoward incidents, resetting the Alarm Chain Pulling under very difficult conditions over a bridge, hot axles, and detection of brake binding or dangling objects in passing trains.
