2.26. SUMMARY
The inspection and maintenance of Army equipment locomotives require
that certain forms and records must be completed. Among other things, they
are used to record both scheduled and performed preventive maintenance, load
tests, equipment faults, and criteria tests and checks; to request direct or
general support maintenance; to record the accomplishment of a maintenance
work order; to submit an equipment improvement recommendation; and to
collect maintenance data.
The forms used for inspection and maintenance of dieselelectric
locomotives include the Maintenance Request, DA Form 2407; Equipment Daily
or Monthly Log, DA Form 24081; Equipment Modification Record, DA Form 2408
5; Daily Inspection Worksheet for Diesel Electric Locomotives, DD Form 862;
and Air Brake Inspection Report for Locomotives and Locomotive Cranes, DA
Form 4171R.
The maintenance request is used to request maintenance and
modifications to locomotives and to record them when accomplished. The DA
Forms 24081 and 24085, a part of the locomotives historical records,
record daily and monthly usage and maintenance of a locomotive and its
requirements for and application of all authorized modifications. The DD
Form 862 is used in the daily inspection and maintenance of the locomotive
and the DA Form 4171R for recording the condition of the locomotive's air
