Abstract:
this article also details the importance of achieving improvement in usage
indicators based on improving the operation process of the precinct and the station, taking
into account the fact that the “G” intermediate station is located on the Q-K single-track
railway site. Based on the analyzes, it will be necessary to develop measures to improve
productivity, technical use indicators. In particular, it is required to introduce advanced
technological solutions to the plots and stations of “UTY” JSC in accordance with local
conditions, based on the study of domestic and foreign experience in the use of train transfer
facilities of stations and plots.
Key words:
train, freight operations, railway transport, analyses, technical, manual,
information, “UTY” JSC, disciplinary regulations.
“G” is an intermediate station where train reception and dispatch tracks are positioned
transversely. The primary tasks performed are receiving, dispatching, and passing trains;
carrying out shunting operations; loading and unloading various goods; conducting technical
and commercial inspections of trains and wagons, performing brake tests, and processing
freight documentation. Based on the volume of work, it is classified as a 4th-class station. The
station is situated on the Q-K single-track railway section and is equipped with an electric
centralized interlocking system (ECIS) for switches and signals.
The station performs the following technical, freight, and commercial operations: a)
Technical operations: Receiving and dispatching trains, passing trains, train crossings
(intersecting), overtaking, assembling train formations, attaching and detaching wagons,
sorting wagons, preparing and setting wagons on the branch line, bringing them out,
presenting wagons for technical and commercial inspections, rectifying identified technical
and commercial deficiencies in wagons, replacing locomotives and locomotive crews in transit
trains or when necessary; b) Freight operations: Loading, unloading, receiving, and delivering
goods; d) Commercial operations: Receiving and delivering goods services, processing freight
documentation, calculating transportation fees and provided railway services, ensuring the
integrity of transported goods, conducting commercial inspections of arriving and departing
wagons and formations.
Analyzing the main usage indicators for freight and train transportation at “G” station
reveals deficiencies, identifies obstacles, and prevents the emergence of difficulties. During
working hours, the station supervisor continuously monitors the implementation of the shift
plan, adherence to the prescribed procedures for processing trains and wagons by staff, and
the performance of freight and commercial operations, taking necessary measures to prevent
disruptions in the technological process.
The analysis determines the completion of quantitative and qualitative indicators in
practice, compares them with previous plans, standards, and similar indicators, identifies
causes of deviations, and outlines measures to eliminate shortcomings in technology

improvement efforts. The station conducts the following types of analyses: operational (shift
and daily), periodic, and targeted.
Shift analyses are conducted by the station chief or their deputies at the end of each
shift. The analysis helps identify difficulties and establish necessary measures to prevent or
eliminate them. A daily analysis evaluates the station's performance in fulfilling the daily plan
and compares the work of different shifts to ensure uniform performance.
During the analysis, aspects such as train reception and dispatch, loading and unloading
of oil goods, performance of shift duties, wagon idle time, train assembly and schedule
adherence, reasons for schedule violations, station's inability to accept trains, other
quantitative and qualitative performance indicators, reasons for train delays at approaches,
adherence to technological standards, and ensuring the safety of train movements and
personnel are considered. Periodic analysis encompasses all branches of economic activity,
summarizing the results of shift and daily analyses, and formulating organizational and
technical measures to improve the station's operations.
Based on the analysis results, the shift's performance is evaluated, necessary measures
are established to prevent violations, and the results and evaluations are communicated to
workers, who then analyze key performance indicators based on other accounting and
documentation data. This includes:
• Train schedules for movement, reception, and dispatch;
• Volume of freight operations including oil goods loading;
• Prescribed time norms for processing trains during arrival, distribution, assembly, and
dispatch;
• Downtime for local freight operations at the station and on branch lines of industrial
enterprises, wagon idle time during a single freight operation;
• Utilization of technical means and shunting locomotives;
• Tasks for increasing labor productivity;
• Safety of train movements and personal safety conditions.
Targeted analysis aims to thoroughly study station operations, identify reserves to
increase capacity and processing capabilities, develop measures for efficient utilization of
technical means, reduce wagon dwell time at the station, ensure safety of operations and
personnel, among other objectives.
Targeted analyses can be general for the station's operations or specific to its individual
units or issues, such as reasons for train delays near the station, quality of information about
approaching trains and goods, reasons for increased downtime during tanker filling, and
others.
Employees of the railway transport sector must adhere to the requirements and fulfill
the demands of the following primary regulatory documents not detailed in these
technological processes:
• Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan on Railway Transport;
• Technical usage rules for the railways of the Republic of Uzbekistan;
• Manual on train movements and shunting operations on the railways;
• Manual on signaling on the railways;
• Charter of Uzbekistan Railways;
• Technical management act and its annexes, local manuals;

• Freight transport rules;
• Rules for transporting dangerous goods;
• Technical conditions for loading and securing goods on open rolling stock;
• Occupational safety instructions, personal safety rules;
• Disciplinary regulations for railway transport employees;
• Relevant current orders and instructions.
Based on these documents, the station’s operations are properly organized. Additionally,
an analysis of the current workforce at the station has been carried out, as shown in the
following table (Table 1.1).

From the figures above, it can be seen that according to the 2022 report of “G” station,
the freight loading indicator was 182 wagons, the 2023 plan was 122 wagons, and the 2023
report recorded 127 wagons. The analysis of the freight loading indicators in tons showed
924 tons in the 2022 report, 675 tons according to the 2023 plan, and 687 tons in the 2023
report.
The freight unloading indicators were 295 wagons in the 2022 report, 295 wagons
according to the 2023 plan, and 311 wagons in the 2023 report. Additionally, if we look at the
analysis of wagons at the station, there were 175 wagons in the working park according to the
2022 report, 166 wagons according to the 2023 plan, and 87 wagons in the 2023 report.
Dispatched wagons were 380 according to the 2022 report, 68 according to the 2023 plan,
and 244 according to the 2023 report.
From the above indicators, we can conclude that according to the 2023 report, freight
loading decreased by 55 wagons, dispatched wagons decreased by 136, and wagons in the
working park decreased by 88 compared to 2022. [1-6].

Based on the above analyses, it can be concluded that measures need to be developed to
improve the productivity and technical usage indicators of the station. Specifically, it is
required to adapt and implement advanced technological solutions in “UTY” JSC sections and
stations by studying and incorporating local and foreign experiences in utilizing train transit
capabilities of the station and sections to local conditions.
