      <title>SAFETY DEVICES FOR TRACK LAID ON CONCRETE ON STEEL SLEEPERS. THE ELECTRICAL INSULATION OF RAILS ON CONCRETE SLEEPERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/15058</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report deals with the insulation resistance of a concrete sleepered track section (electrical resistance between the rails).  The increased use of concrete sleepers in the open track has given rise to difficulties in the case of long track circuits as required for automatic block installations.  According to the location of the track section and the design of the concrete sleeper, these difficulties, arising from insufficient insulation resistances of the section, were of a more or less serious nature.  The results of these measurements show that most concrete sleeper designs with the insulating means used in the test sections can only guarantee the minimum insulating values for the operation of track circuits under favorable conditions, i.e. when the ballast bed is dry; under unfavorable conditions, such as, for example, prolonged rain, large moisture content of the ballast bed, the values of the insulation resistance of concrete sleepered sections are decreased to magnitudes lower than the required minimum values, i.e. much lower than those of wooden sleepered sections.]]></description>

      <title>SAFETY DEVICES FOR TRACK LAID ON CONCRETE OR STEEL SLEEPERS. SUMMARY OF THE STUDIES OF THE COMMITTEE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/15059</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The present Final Report contains a short survey of the contents of Interim Reports 1-7: RP 1: The electrical resistance of track circuits on tracks with wooden, concrete and steel sleepers as well as ways and means of improving the insulation, June 1957, RP 2: Study of the electrical characteristics of a track circuit, June 1957, RP 3: Methods of computing track circuit, June 1957, RP 4: Questionnaire on the insulating properties of track laid on wooden sleepers, March 1959, RP 5: Axle counters, March 1959, RP 6: Electrical properties of a track laid on wooden sleepers and practical determination of its essential characteristic data, April 1963, RP 7: The electrical insulation of rails on concrete sleepers, October 1963.  The second chapter deals with the further development of the technique of insulating means and that of axle counters to the present state.  Chapter 3 contains the conclusions obtained from all the studies, more especially those concerning the lower limit of the insulation resistance and the reliability of the axle counters.  Finally, a survey is given of those problems recommended for additional research.]]></description>
