An automatic railway coach washing system and a slew of other facilities to ramp up the maintenance infrastructure were inaugurated in Mysuru on Saturday.
Sanjeev Kishore, General Manager, South Western Railway, Hubballi, who inaugurated the new facilities said the commissioning of the automatic coach washing plant ushers in a new benchmark for faster and more efficient cleaning of coaches.
He said the new facility is a multistage external cleaning system using a detergent solution, high-pressure water jet and vertical rotating brushes. In addition, it has an effluent treatment system and water softening plants for use of soft water for external washing.
