Development of the Next Generation Turnout for Cold Regions
In order to prevent rail turnout failure and reduce maintenance work, JR East is introducing next-generation 2000 type turnouts in the Tokyo area. JR East has also scheduled new turnout installation in other areas where the company plans to arrange lines and construct overpasses. A next-generation turnout was therefore developed for cold regions. The next-generation turnout was developed in close cooperation with infrastructure engineers as an integrated system. Cold region track equipment, including elevated base plates and grid sleepers, was performance tested successfully both in the laboratory and on commercial lines. Planned performance was exhibited by both testing scenarios.
