📢 Western Railway Siren Codes
If you are preparing for a WR exam, these hooter codes are frequently asked:
| Hooter Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 2 Long | Accident in the local yard (No relief train required). |
| 3 Long | Accident at outstation, mainline is clear (Only ART required). |
| 3 Long, 1 Short | Accident at outstation, mainline is clear (Both ART & ARME required). |

💡 Key Note for WR Exams
- SPART (Self-Propelled Accident Relief Train): WR uses SPARTs at several depots. These do not require a locomotive to be attached, so they are expected to hit the 15-minute target consistently.
- 140-Tonne Crane: Usually part of the A-Class ART.
