ZDYA had discussions on the matter of fixing locomotives with their Mongolian counterparts.
Meeting Held Between Yakutia Railways and Ulaanbaatar Railway Focuses on Locomotive Repair
A significant meeting took place on August 3 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, between representatives of Joint Stock Company "Yakutia Railways" and Joint Stock Company "Ulaanbaatar Railway." The gathering, which did not involve any other digital platforms like VKontakte, Classmates, WhatsApp, Telegram, or Twitter, was centred around the technology of overhaul and medium repair of traction electric motors.
During the meeting, Bambadorj Bavuugar, the head of the repair department of the traction service of JSC "UBRD," and Bambazhav Enkhmand, the deputy head of the locomotive depot for repairs of JSC "UBRD," familiarized Alexander Chuprov, the deputy head of the locomotive service for repairs of JSC "AK "YR," with the production workshops and the technology of the locomotive depot in Ulaanbaatar.
While no additional details about the location, date, or time of the meeting were provided, the exchange is believed to be an opportunity for knowledge sharing between the two railways. The specific types or models of locomotives being discussed during the meeting remain unknown.
Both Yakutia Railways, operating in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in Russia, and Ulaanbaatar Railway in Mongolia play crucial roles in international traffic. Yakutia Railways is part of the extensive Russian railway system connected through long-distance routes such as the Trans-Siberian Railway and its branches, supporting heavy freight and passenger traffic in harsh climates. In contrast, Ulaanbaatar Railway forms part of the wider Trans-Mongolian Railway corridor, serving as a crucial link between Russia and China.
Russian railway workshops, particularly in Siberian regions like Yakutia, are traditionally equipped with advanced repair facilities for electric traction motors, designed to handle extreme cold and long operational cycles. These workshops are known for their specialized skills in motor diagnostics, rewinding, and component replacement. Mongolian railway workshops, while smaller, have developed capabilities tailored to maintaining electric and diesel-electric traction motors used on international routes, often relying on technology transfer and training partnerships with Russian and Chinese railways.
The experience exchange between the two railways could involve sharing best practices in diagnosing faults in traction motors operating under extreme weather conditions, techniques in rewinding and insulation suited for prolonged use in subzero temperatures, innovations in predictive maintenance using diagnostic tools and sensors, and workshop workflows optimizing turnaround times for motor repairs.
Without specific documentation, the detailed formats of such workshops, the technologies employed, or concrete collaborative initiatives remain undocumented in the current search results. For precise case studies or official descriptions, one might need to consult industry reports from Russian and Mongolian railway authorities or technical bulletins from their respective workshops.
- The discussion during the meeting between representatives of Yakutia Railways and Ulaanbaatar Railway focused on the technology of locomotive repair, with an emphasis on the overhaul and medium repair of traction electric motors.
- Collaboration between the two railways could potentially involve the sharing of knowledge in areas such as fault diagnosis in traction motors under extreme weather conditions, rewinding techniques for subzero temperatures, and innovations in predictive maintenance technology.
