DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF CONVENTIONAL TRACK
Research in recent years has shown that ballasted track can offer a very high quality track, needing only a small amount of maintenance if it is made correctly and with good quality materials. The cost of such a track need not be much greater than one which is made in a more careless fashion. If, however, the construction is not correct then it is very difficult to rectify the situation by subsequent maintenance.
