Description
Switch and Crossing Maintenance draws together all aspects of this key feature of railway track engineering where plain line becomes junctions and allows the reader to understand the main types, components and layouts and the context of operational maintenance. This book was written by experts in 2001 and revised and re-published in 2018. Pages 403.
The book is aimed at a wide range of people who need to know more about S&C; be they designers, maintainers or others involved in the infrastructure or operation of a railway network. The various configurations are covered which include the range of switches and common and obtuse crossings made up of built, welded and cast manganese derivatives. S&C designs are continuously changing and being improved but the basic principles remain the same.
