SOLID-BED TRACK LAID FOR TRIAL SERVICE ON NETHERLANDS RAILWAYS

Initial design on a viaduct in Delft has been followed by trials under ORE Committee D87 auspices of solid-bed track on British Rail, German Federal Railway and at the Czechoslovakian Velim Test Track. All employ prefabricated blocks to carry rail laid on a concrete underbed. All tracks, including the new installation in the Netherlands use the DE spring rail fastener. Importance of a solid-bed track is emphasized for use with welded rail.
