Augmenting efforts for cleaning tracks at major stations, Northern Railway on Wednesday launched a track cleaning machine at the New Delhi station.
Equipped with a powerful vacuum cleaner blower, the machine mounted on a wagon is capable of cleaning the areas alongside of the track. The machine was pressed into service at the station here, said a senior Northern Railway official.
Rail tracks are normally littered with all kinds of waste such as polythene, paper bags, plastic bottles, torn clothes and leftover food.
Developed by the Northern Railway, the machine has a capacity to store 6 MT of waste and it can be tilted at the earmarked place to empty the waste.
