N. F. RAILWAY DIESEL LOCO SHED/Siliguri Junction
BRIEF HISTORY:
Siliguri Diesel Shed is the oldest Meter Gauge Diesel Loco Shed on Indian Railways. This
shed was established in the year 1961 and the first loco was commissioned on 26th January
1962.
New BG Diesel Shed for maintaining WDP4 and WDG4 became functional since 13/01/2007.
It is the second Diesel Shed in Indian Railways designed to home EMD locos.

8. Homing Capacity : MG – 50 YDM4, BG – 50 Locos
9. Augmentation Plans : Extension of BG D/Shed/SGUJ to home 100 locos is under progress.
10. Other History (Not more than 4 lines) : Started POH of YDM4 in 1995 and 190 locos were Periodically
Overhauled up to 09/07/10. This eliminated dependency of N.F.Rly. on GOC for POH. It also started
IOH of WDM2/ WDG3 from 06/04/08 to 27/11/09 (15 IOH + 01 M/12) when holding of MG came
down. Moreover 02 locos & 02 Power packs were exported to Tanzania in Feb/08 and 11 Loco to
Myanmar in Feb./08.

IV. Any Important Innovations:
(1) Modification of air dryer control circuit to increase unloading time of compressor in
EMD locos thereby improving reliability:
During air brake testing of EMD locos in SGUJ shed, it was observed that compressor
unloading time was coming in the range of 30 to 90 seconds against 2 to 3 minutes stipulated
in RDSO’s guidelines. This reduced unloading time caused early carbonization of compressor
valves resulting in malfunctioning. In course of investigation, it was detected that Faievely
make air dryer (non memory type) was working (i.e. purging) even at the time of unloading,
whereas it should not purge during unloading because Dryer Control Relay (DCR) is turned off
when compressor is not pumping air. To resolve this problem, necessary modification in air
dryer control circuit in ECC1 panel was carried out during the month by SGUJ diesel shed.
This modification resolved the problem and unloading time increased by more than two
minutes.
