Automatic coach washing plant to come up in Tiruchi
The Hindu
It will come up at the coaching complex near railway junction
Tiruchi is one of the locations in the Southern Railway zone where an automatic coach washing plant is proposed to be established so as to save water used for cleaning passenger coaches. Railway officials here said the plant will be established inside the coaching complex situated close to the Tiruchi railway junction, where express and passenger trains are sent for primary maintenance before being put back into operation again. The coach washing plant, to be established by a private firm identified by the railway administration, would provide the plan and drawings. The divisional railway officials have suggested to the Southern Railway headquarters for an inspection to be done by the private firm at the coaching complex so as to have a clear idea of the place where the plant is to be established.
