ABSTRACT:
An effluent disposal apparatus for railways includes a storage tank adapted to be fitted to a railway vehicle. The tank has an inlet for receiving effluent, an outlet for release of the effluent stored in the tank, and an effluent release valve movable between a closed position in which the effluent is prevented from passing through the outlet, and an open position in which the effluent is allowed to pass through the outlet. A controller controls operation of the valve in response to an effluent release signal generated by a release signal generator to automatically open the release valve to release the effluent from the tank when the vehicle is at a predetermined position with respect to an effluent receptacle located under or alongside the track.
