THE SUPERSTRUCTURE OF THE PKP'S MAIN TRUCK LINE BETWEEN SILESIA AND WARSAW

NAWIERZCHNIA CENTRALNEJ MAGISTRALI PKP SLASK-WARSZAWA

The superstructure of this line, intended for dense heavy freight train and very high speed passenger train traffic, consists of S 60 heavy rails laid on hard-wood sleepers, broken stone ballast over a seepage layer with switches of S 60 rails so freight trains can be diverted without deceleration. The author gives details of the structures laid in the first stage of the work, the tolerances permitted for track geometry, the track acceptance criteria adopted, the equipment used and, to end, he puts forward a few proposals for more rational organisation and for steps to achieve a higher standard of work.
