A SPECIAL TRACK PROFILE FOR RECEPTION AND DEPARTURE SIDINGS IN FREIGHT YARDS

SPECIAL'NYJ PROFIL PRIEMOOTPRAVOCHNYH PUTEIJ

The article discusses the principle of designing the track profile when constructing or modernising freight yards, so as to provide a dip in the track to prevent moving wagons from over-running the length of the reception or departure siding. It is proposed to include standards for this profile in the "Instructions for the design of railway freight yards and centres".
