Railway switch installation requirements
To ensure the proper functioning of railway switches and prevent potential issues, adherence to strict guidelines is crucial. The process involves crafting long and short point rails for movable point frogs from 60AT rail, with the long point rail machined into a standard 60kg/m section. The wing rail, made from standard 60kg/m steel rail, varies based on joint-less line type. Anti-friction rail protectors are installed to counteract side grinding. The Elastic Separated II-type rail fastening system, secured by tie plate shoulders and T-type rail bolts, is the primary choice. In switch areas, straight rail connections are welded, with high manganese steel frog toes and frozen or cemented joints. This meticulous approach aims to address challenges and ensure the switch's reliable performance.
