On 19.07.2022, Shri Atul B. Yadav, Helper of Carriage & Wagon Section at Castle Rock was travelling to Kulem by a goods train after finishing his night duty and going back home for rest. When the train stopped at Sonaulim station for crossing of another goods Train, he observed the passing train and noticed smoke o­n the wagon and immediately informed the Train Manager of  the passing goods train to stop.  His alertness and timely swift action averted a major Safety mishap.

On 22.07.2022, Shri Bahadur Singh Shekhawat, Loco Pilot & Shri. Vikas Kumar, Asst. Loco Pilot from Krishnarajapuram, while passing Kamasamudram station, Shri Vikas Kumar noticed spark from o­ne of the wagons of a goods container train which was running between Bisanattam - Varadapur and alerted the loco pilot immediately who in turn informed  the Station Master of Varadapur. Immediately the train was stopped and Hot Axle Wagon was detached from the train. The Loco Pilot & the Asst. Loco Piot extinguished the fire by using fire extinguisher and sand. Their alertness thus prevented a major Safety mishap.

On 16.07.2022, Shri Ninge Gowda, Keyman of Gang No.5 of Hassan -Sakleshpur Section noticed smoke in the formation of a goods train in the section, informed the Gateman immediately and the same was conveyed to Station Master of Ballupet.  The alertness of Shri.
