STUDY OF PREVENTIVE MEASURES FROM THE ACCUMULATION OF SNOW ON THE RAILWAY TRACK

In order to prevent possible snow damage on the railway lines in cold regions, a snow-free track structure has been devised and tested with an experimental structure constructed near Ohmagari on the Ohu Line. The report describes the tests conducted to evaluate the possibility of using a river stream as the snow removing media under various conditions of the air and water temperatures, the snowstorm, the depth of water, etc. and also the adverse effects on the flow of streams by gusts caused by high-speed trains.
