NEW TURNOUT DESIGN FOR HIGH-SPEED TRAIN IN CONVENTIONAL LINE

A turnout which enables the train to run at a speed of 130 km/hr on the stock rail of the turnout of a narrow-gage track and which does not require a speed reduction on the turnout was developed. A flexible point is used. The tongue rail is shaved out of a 90S full-web section point rail. The 90S rail is designed so that it can be used mainly in a welded crossing, and also in a point for 60 kg rails and the tongue rail of an expansion joint.
