Work trains

[edit]

SMRT Trains was known to use the following vehicles for maintenance of way as of 2015:[31]

Stock Purpose Manufacturer Number used (as of 2015) Crew size Weight Speed
Track tamping vehicle Tamp ballasts while simultaneously measuring and correcting track alignments Plasser & Theurer 2 5 (minimum) 37/63 tons Max. 19 km/h (self-propelled)
Multi-function Vehicle Detect internal cracks within the rail in real time; check the geometry of the running rail and third rail. Tamper,
Plasser & Theurer[32] 		at least 2 4 (minimum) 32 tons 18 km/h (self-propelled),
40 km/h (max speed)
Rail grinding vehicle Re-profile the rail heads and eliminate rail corrugation to reduce track stresses and extend the service life of the rail Speno 2
(2 earlier units were retired and presumably sold off.[33][34]) 		4 (minimum) 118 tons 18 km/h (self-propelled),
50 km/h (hauled by locomotive)
Viaduct Inspection Wagon Inspect elastomer bearing mounted between the concrete grinders and columns Unknown Unknown 4 (minimum) + 1 (External Professional Engineer) 36 tons 50 km/h (hauled by locomotive)
CKG diesel locomotive Shunt passenger trains within Bishan Depot CKG[35] 2; previously 10[35] 2 26 tons 18 km/h
Deli diesel locomotive Provide propulsion for maintenance wagons and other machinery Changzhou Kate Mining Machinery Engineering Co., Ltd.[36] 19 56 tons 50 km/h
Schöma electric locomotive Schöma 4 34 tons 50 km/h
Tunnel cleaning wagon Use high pressure water jets to clean tracks, third rail cover, mounting brackets alongside tracks and lower portion of tunnel walls Unknown Unknown 2 41 tons 50 km/h (hauled by locomotive)
Heavy crane vehicle Lift heavy objects of up to 3-tons. Unknown Unknown 1 operator, 1 rigger, 1 lifting supervisor 60 tons Limited to 18 km/h

In addition, SBS Transit has used a two-car MFV supplied by a joint venture between Plasser and Theurer and Speno and a railgrinder from Harsco[37] and the Land Transport Authority is known to have procured multi-function vehicles and railgrinders from MERMEC of Italy and Harsco respectively for the Downtown Line and Thomson–East Coast Line,[38][39][40][41] general maintenance vehicles for the Downtown Line from Gemac Engineering Machinery,[39] as well as Bo-Bo battery-electric locomotives from CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive.[42] Engineering trains are also known to be interchangeable across different lines as shown with photos of a transfer of a multi-function vehicle between Bishan Depot and Kim Chuan Depot.[43]

Contractors such as Gammon Construction are also known to have brought in their own work trains such as tampers for trackwork projects; SMRT used up to 14 road-rail vehicles provided by Gammon during the sleeper replacement from 2013 to 2016.[44][45]
