4. Other Safety Improvement Works in train

operations:

 Provision of Sigma Boards ahead of STOP Signals:
To assist Loco pilots for easily identifying the STOP
signals during foggy weather conditions,
Division has taken up the work of provision of

Retro reflective SIGMA boards, ahead of the
STOP signals. 44 no’s sigma boards were Fig: Sigma Board

provided.

 Attention of Leaning/Critical implantation masts:
Leaning/critical implantation masts in OHE are the major concern

of panto entanglements and safely operation of trains with higher
speeds respectively in the Indian Railways. To avert all the problems due
to leaning/critical implantation masts total 44 locations eliminated in the

year 2022-23.

 Replacement of rusted Cantilever’s:
Rusted cantilevers are the one of the causes for breakdown in polluted
areas. Due to the rusting of the cantilever tubes, the mechanical
strength of the cantilever will decrease drastically and leads to
breakdown of OHE. To avert the failures due to rusting of cantilevers,

replacement work has taken up and replaced 37 No’s in pollution
prone areas in DKJ jurisdiction.
