Diesel Traction Department

The Diesel Traction Department is headed by Senior Professor (Rolling Stock Technology). Professor (Diesel technology), Assistant Professor (Diesel Electric Technology), Lecturer (Diesel Hydraulic Technology) and Lecturer (Diesel Mechanical Technology) look after design and conduction of professional courses. They are assisted by Chief Instructor (Diesel).

The Department has built three model rooms covering various components of the Diesel Locomotives, including cut-section working models of the engines, working mock-ups of control panel etc.

Diesel-Hydraulic Model Room

This model room houses the parts of Diesel Hydraulic Transmission locomotives of WDS4 type.

Diesel-Electric Model Room

This model room contains parts and components of the WDM2 type of locomotive. It includes a working simulated control-panel, circuit diagrams, cut-section engine model, etc.

Diesel GM Locomotive Model Room

This model room is the latest addition to IRIMEE. It possesses the cut-section model of the diesel-engine of GM types of locomotives, apart from many parts and components kept separately too.
