Highlights Shunting locomotive/switcher/idle time in industrial sidings are analyzed in this paper. 40years old, SM42, SM31, T448p and S200 (ChME3) locomotives are observed. Almost 8000 locomotives have been produced. Shunting locomotive’s idle time amounts to 70% (from 55% to 90%). Daily shunting locomotive’s fuel consumption at idle amounts to 160l (90–300l/day).

    Abstract Shunting locomotive/switcher (AmE)/utilization profiles are analyzed in this paper, in particular on the basis of idle time data collected in nineteen Polish industrial sidings and yards. 40years old, diesel-electric locomotives are observed during 1000h. Idle times related to work cycles are analyzed statistically. The percentage of the shunting locomotive daily operating time that the engine is operating at idle amounts to 70% (from 55% to 90%), and average daily idle fuels consumption amounts to 150l a day (from 90 to 240l a day). Many European and Asian countries still operate a significant number of similar (ChME3, e.g. S200) old, diesel-electric locomotives (almost 8000 locomotives have been produced), for moving trains over long distances and as shunting locomotives. Observed frequent short idle time periods suggest necessity of widening future scope of idling times’ analysis. Adaptation of Polish rolling stock will be possible using prior general public education about dangerous carcinogens in diesel exhaust smoke and fuel waste related to diesel engines’ idling. Simple simultaneous depiction of diesel engine power time series together with idle time could be used for educational visualization of idling among a wider audience. In the future classical aggregated idle time statistics should be supplemented by models that are more related to the variability of shunting locomotives diesel generator’s power time series, e.g. distribution of frequent short individual idle time cases.
