TURNOUT WITH NOSE RAIL MOVABLE CROSSING

For the New Tokaido Line the Japanese National Railways required that the turnout at stations should allow passing trains the same maximum speed of 200 km/h as they use on the rest of the line. It is necessary to have a special turnout which would minimize the wheel shock to the turnout structure, both vertically and laterally. Worked out was a turnout with a nose rail movable crossing having welded joints, skew joints, no guard rail, and no guiding flangeway of wing rail. Several types of such turnouts having nose rail movable crossings have been experimentally designed in JNR beginning in 1960. Experience of service so far made suggests no troublesome problem concerning track maintenance. Furthermore this new turnout needs only a little maintenance labor.
