      <title>DEPOT REPAIR OF ALTERNATING CURRENT ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/82359</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The book presents general information on modern systems and organization of depot repair of alternating current electric locomotives.  Described are the basic servicing technology; the TR-1, TR-2, and TR-3 types of running repair of VL60, VL60K, VL80K, and VL80T electric locomotives; the flow (assembly) lines and the automation of production processes; and problems in economics, technical safety and industrial sanitation.  In comparison with the 1st edition, published in 1971, this book has taken into consideration all the changes associated with the improvement of the alternating current electric locomotive repair system.  This book is intended for technicians and depot locomotive repair personnel and may be useful to engineers and students in railroad transportation secondary school institutions.]]></description>

      <title>RULES OF THE DEPOT REPAIR OF DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES OF THE TYPE TE3 AND TE10</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/82360</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This book presents general information on the fusing, welding, heat treatment, and fastening of parts during diesel locomotive repair.  Detailed treatment is given to preventive inspections, minor periodic repairs, major periodic repairs, and "lift" repairs of the diesel locomotives.  Appendix 1 deals with size tolerances of parts and components; appendix 2 deals with performance requirements for rheostatic tests of TE3 and TE10 diesel locomotives following depot and unplanned repair; appendix 3 deals with test requirements of electrical machines on the diesel locomotives; appendix 4 deals with technical conditions for acceptance of fuel pumps and test stand testing; appendix 5 deals with component and system lubrication; and appendix 6 deals with parts subject to ultrasonic or magnetic checking during depot repair of type TE3 and TE10 diesel locomotives.]]></description>

      <title>THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION OF THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF CAR AT POINTS OF TECHNICAL INSPECTION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/79529</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The results are given of studies of equipment inspection stations of various types, such as service stations.  An analysis is made of major losses associated with idle time of repair and inspection crews and idle time of consists or groups of cars awaiting their turn for inspection and minor repairs.  Procedures are provided, as well as examples, for selecting the best variants of car servicing organization at stations of different types.]]></description>

      <title>ENVIRONMENT AND THE RAILROADS, PROGRAMS AND COSTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/14121</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In 1970 sixteen specific categories were identified by the railroads as sources of pollution, attention to which, if successful, would lead to controlling these sources and thus contribute significantly to an improvement in the quality of air and water.  Other objectives were to reduce noise, assist burgeoning communities with their ever increasing problem of waste removal, control the growth of weeds and brush for esthetic reasons and to reduce fire hazards, improve sanitary facilities on railroad equipment, and generally to be responsive to society's sensible desire to improve its health, safety, and appearance.  This is the first time a comprehensive compilation has been made, or has been possible to make, of what the railroads are doing, and what it is costing them to do it, to improve the quality of the environment through attention to sixteen specific categories of pollution control and abatement. The report that will be possible at the end of 1973 is certain to show the programs to be well along and by 1975 the full impact will be possible to assess.]]></description>
