RAILWAY CURVES: THEIR ALIGNMENT AND REALIGNMENT

Installation, maintenance and rectification of railway curves are dealt with. Comprehensive tables in metric units are developed for computing cants on curves for various speeds and degrees of curvature to solve curve problems directly without calculations. The method of reconditioning curves by string-lining is fully explained and illustrated by working out a complete example.
