4.2Major Yards
4.2.1Jhansi
An intermediate yard at Jhansi handles rakes for POH wagons for workshop, loaded rakes for goods shed, military special rakes and traction changing trains. There is carriage & wagon examination depot for freight stock, which examines 4 to 5 rakes every day. Further Jhansi is also having major coaching depot where 16 rakes of passenger trains are maintained. The yard consists of 3 by-pass lines of full length, 2 R&D lines, 3 UP dispatch lines, 2DN dispatch lines ,and 11 marshalling lines (of less than standard length).Deficiency of the number of full length lines in the yard, at times, forces stabling of loads atroadside stations.
4.2.2 Gwalior
Gwalior is also an intermediate yard, which has been shifted to RRU, now it is a major coaching maintenance yard and depot both for BG and NG trains.
