4. About Project ‘BTFLN Wagon’ BTFLN Wagon manufactured first time for Indian Railways by BCL. It’s a new form “Bogie Tank Pol Frameless Light Weight Wagon” type BTFLN introduced by Indian Railways for carrying petroleum products. Designed as frameless which is introduced first time in India. BTFLN Product is innovative, upgraded with latest design, capable of higher carrying capacity and equipped to run with higher speed compared to existing wagons. Equipped with advanced Bogie Mounted Brake System, a state-of-art Braking mechanism. India now has an advance discharge system which is a value addition in terms of advanced technology applied in BTFLN.

5. Why ‘BTFLN Wagon’ chosen for the Award Indian Railways awarded the ‘BTFLN’ Wagon Manufacturing Contract only to M/s Braithwaite & Co. Limited based on BCL’s past performance. The manufacturing of PROTO Wagon was a very challenging task as this was designed for the first time. Lot of trial assembly and subsequent changes in fitment of components took place during Proto wagon manufacturing stage. Finally BCL manufactured the wagon after modification of brake arrangement drawing & incorporation of fabricated T-Section which were approved by RITES and RDSO. This Frameless Wagon is a new breed of petroleum carrier tank wagon designed with advanced features in comparison to conventional BTPN Type Tank Wagon. The company has successfully manufactured 250 Wagons, as per Contract Terms maintaining cost, quality & time and these wagons are running successfully on Railway track.
