FIFTEEN YEARS OF OPERATION OF A NEW TYPE OF STRUCTURE FOR TRACK AND POINTS OF THE ITALIAN NATIONAL RAILROAD AND TRAMWAY ASSOCIATION
QUINDICI ANNI DI ESERCIZIO DI UN NUOVO DI STRUTTURA PER BINARI E SCAMBI DELLA SOCIETA NAZIONALE DI FERROVIE E TRANVIE
With the aim of reducing maintenance costs of track and points of traditional structure, and, in particular, abolishing expenditure connected with the renewal and maintenance of the ballast, since 1956 experiments have been made by the "Societa di Tranvie e Ferrovie" with a new type of track and points on certain bridges and approaches, on certain stations, yards, and siding tracks and points, on a gage line with 36 UNI 3141 rail. In summarizing the elements emerging from experience obtained, the first conclusions are given with regard to plant and maintenance costs.
