Tower Wagons:- The grey area of TRD
It is said that TRD has well organised set up. This is half truth only. Most important asset of TRD - the Tower Wagon is grossly neglected. Track machines are also meant for maintaining tracks like the twoer wagons are there for maintaining OHE but while former are taken care by huge organisational back upsuch as ZMC and TMC, tower wagons are left at God's mercy.
Not only the maintenance of Tower wagons is haywire, they are allowed to be misused:-
1.Used for trailing window inspections
2.Used for carrying material
3.Used for hauling empty wagons.
It becomes risky to move 4 wheelers as they may stall on line, and 8 wheelers are always having some major problem in one of their engines. What is the solution?
In my opinion the only solution is that old meter guage or narrow guage sheds which are being closed or are being reopened on flimsy ground be converted into exclusive Tower Wagon maintenance sheds.
