The China National Machinery Import and Export Corporation, better known as CMC is a Chinese government entity and will not compromise on quality, safety or stake its reputation for any reason, said CMC’s Project General Manager for the Matara – Kataragama Railway Extension Project (Phase I) Tang Ming. He was responding to allegations made by former team leader appointed by the project consultants Central Engineering Consultancy Bureau (CECB) at a press conference which was aired over electronic media a few days ago.

There are concrete ballasted rail tracks near Kadugannawa Train Station (see below picture) but most of the other rail tracks at the upcountry are with old style wooden sleepers.
Please correct me if i am wrong
Where SLR does use the M9 then ?
- Tikiri Menike is W3 mostly and sometimes W2A
- Senkadagala Menike is M9
- Kandy - Matara is also hauled by an M9
SLR started replacing wooden sleepers with concretes on upcountry line since years now. But still more than 50% of the track is on wooden sleepers.
Few years back M9 has sent up to Navalapitya. I hope they'll start it again after recent renovations.

Originally posted by Mach3 View PostRolling stock equipped with air brakes are not suitable for operations in hill terrain due to some short comings, they cannot remain stationary on inclined surfaces. So the Romanian Astra compartments with vacuum brakes are used in this line. Although there is one exception in the case of class S12 which also uses air brakes, although this type uses a brake designed and built by a German company known as Knorr&bremse.
Then this air brakes case; I don't really think "Air Brakes" are the one to blame. Best example is as Mach3 forwarded S12 is performing nicely on upcountry with "Air Brakes". So, in my opinion those Chinese carriages has weak braking system which can not hold it on the incline. (Don't forget, we have the highest incline (1:44) anywhere in the world on broad gauge. (5' 6"). So it had to be real tight brakes). S12 nailed it because their brakes are tight enough to hold the train. There could be other properties as well. But it's not a problem with Air Brakes.

Great! SL won by 7 wickets. ODI series is now on 1:1. What is the reason the team who bat at first is loosing the game?
