Baranovichi (locomotive depot)

The depot counts its history since November 1871 ^[1] . From the moment of commissioning of the building for two locomotive stalls at the Baranavichy station, the depot began to refer to the reserve. In 1901, in connection with the reorganization of the Baranavichy station, the construction of new parks for sorting and forming trains, a depot was being developed. Depo Baranavichy is listed as a negotiable depot and incorporates 2 locomotive buildings for 12 stalls.

The German fascist invaders caused enormous damage to the locomotive farm during the retreat - buildings and structures were completely destroyed. Since 1969, the first diesel trains began to arrive on the Belarusian road. Already in 1970, the depot team produced all types of depot repair and inspection of diesel trains.

In 1980, more than 30 electric locomotives for freight traffic VL-80 ^S entered the capital depot park.

With the collapse of the USSR and the destruction of the previously established efficient overhaul of locomotives at locomotive repair plants, after extensive preparatory work in 1992, the depot mastered the overhaul of the first volume (KR-1) of freight locomotives VL-80 ^S. In 1993, a major overhaul of the first volume of diesel-train motor cars was organized, and from the beginning of 1994 weaving repairs (TR-3) of ER9 electric trains .

However, it became obvious that in the existing production facilities of the depot, in full and with proper quality, the problem of overhauling locomotives cannot be solved. Therefore, at the initiative of the former chief of the road E. I. Volodko and with his constant support, the construction of two workshops for the overhaul of rolling stock was organized at the road section. One of them, for the repair of electric trains, is located on the territory of the locomotive depot Baranavichy. Construction began in 1995, was funded entirely at the expense of the road and was carried out at an accelerated pace. In December 1997, the construction of all production facilities that make up the starting complex was completed, and on December 31, 1997, the acceptance committee accepted them into operation.

The locomotive crews of the site serve passenger, commuter and freight trains, both on electric and diesel locomotives:

• passenger traffic: Baranovichi - Minsk ; Baranovichi - Grodno ; Baranovichi - Luninets .
• Freight traffic: Baranovichi - Brest ; Baranovichi - Slutsk ; Baranovichi - Lida ; Baranovichi - Luninets ; Baranovichi - Minsk ; Baranovichi - Volkovysk .
• suburban movement: Baranovichi - Minsk; Baranovichi - Luninets; Baranovichi - Slutsk; Baranovichi - Lida ; Baranovichi - Volkovysk - Grodno.

The ascribed park of the Baranavichy locomotive depot is given in table 1:

At present, the depot is a powerful industrial and repair company that performs various types of maintenance and repair ^{[2] [3]} :

• for electric locomotives VL80 ^s - from TO-2 to KR-2;
• for electric locomotives ChS4 ^t - TO-2, KR-1, KR-2;
• for electric trains ER9 (T, E, M) - from TR-3 to KR-2;
• for locomotives ChME3 from TO-2 to TR-1.

The depot also performs:

• overhaul of units and assemblies of the TPS;
• capital repairs of wheel pairs of electric trains and freight electric locomotives;
• overhaul of traction motors VL-80, ChS4 ^t , ER9;
• restoration of wheel pair centers by surfacing;
• restoration of geometric linear parameters of parts of the support unit of the wheel pairs of the electric train ER-9
• repair of phase splitters, brake compressor motors, traction transformer pumps, DC motors;
• repair and drying of traction transformers;
• manufacture of parts of gaskets, washers of various flat materials using a laser technological complex.

For third-party organizations, the depot can provide the following services:

• discharge, storage and loading of petroleum products;
• generation of process steam from a steam locomotive;
• provision of locomotives.
