locomotive maintenance

Locomotive maintenance involves regularly inspecting and servicing trains to ensure they operate safely and efficiently. This includes checking the engine, brakes, wheels, and other mechanical parts for wear and proper function. Maintenance tasks may involve cleaning, lubricating moving parts, repairing or replacing worn components, and addressing any issues before they cause failure. Effective maintenance reduces delays, improves safety, and extends the lifespan of the locomotive. It combines routine inspections with planned upgrades, helping to keep trains running reliably on schedule.
