• Layout (The way in which parts of something are

arranged or laid)• On the Basis of Design

• Continuous Loop• Point to Point• Out and Back• Shunting

• On the Basis of Crossings• Square Crossings• Diamond Crossings• Cross Over• Cross Over• Scissor Crossing• Symmetrical Split

• Formation ( On which ballast, sleepers, rails and etc. are

laid) (Function, Design Aspect)

• Ballast (Layer of broken stones, gravels and etc.

around the sleepers for the distribution of load from sleepers to formation)

(Function, Types of Ballasts)• Cess

This is usually provided as a safe area for workers to stand in when trains approach.

LAYOUT OF RAILWAY TRACKS

• Preliminary Survey• Preparation of EIA report• Site Clearance• Earth Work• Drainage Work• Compaction of Subgrade and Sub-base• Preparation of Formation• Laying Ballast over the Well compacted

Formation• Provision of Sleepers over the Ballast• Laying Rails over the Sleepers with the

helps of Fasteners, Bolts, Chairs, Keys or Bearing plates depending upon the type of Rails.

• Like all other Construction PTB and other structures are constructed on conventional practice.

• Steel structures are mainly used in Bridges, Platforms, Roofing and etc.

RECOMMENDATIONSIf we provide vegetation on the roof of the train it’d act as anti –air pollutants.Regular inspection of Railway tracks should be made.Green belts should be provided beside track. This’d also help in reducing pollution.For Safety purpose Fence Walls should be provided around railway stations.

LAYOUT AND CONSTRUCTION OF RAILWAY TRACKS AND STATIONS

• Sleepers To provide transverse support to rail tracks and to

provide stiffness (Function, Types)

• Rails It is an Iron Beam to provide smooth, economical

and level surface for smooth passage of loaded vehicles at great speed.

(Function, Types)• Gauges

It is the distance between inner sides of the two parallel rails.

• Fastenings Use to connect rails and sleepers to form the

track. Types
