6. BALLAST
Ballast is the granular material usually
broken stone or bricks single and
kanker, gravel and sand placed and
packed and around the sleeper to
transmit Load from sleeper to
formation Layer.
Size = 20mm – 65mm

8. RAILS
The rolled steel sections laid
end to end in two parallel lines
over sleepers to form a railway
track are known as RAILS.

9. TYPES OF RAILS :-
The rails used in the construction of railway track
can be divided into the following three types :
(1) Double Headed Rails (D.H. Rail)
(2) Flat Footed Rails (F.F. Rail)
(3) Bull Headed Rails (B.H. Rail)

10. 1. DOUBLE HEADED RAIL :-
The rails having their head and foot of
same dimensions are known as double
headed rail (D.H.).

12. 2. FLAT FOOTED RAILS :-
The rail section having their foot
rolled to a flat are known as
flat footed rails.

14. 3. BULL HEADED RAIL :
The rails sections having their head of
more dimension then that of their foot
are known as bull headed rails (B.H.).

21. Sleepers
Sleepers are members generally laid transverse
to the rails, on which the rails are fixed to
transfer the loads from the rails to the ballast
and the subgrade.

26. POINT OF CROSSING
Point , crossing , turnout , cross-overs and
such related terms are arrangement by
which different routes either parallel are
connected and offered the means for terms
to move from one route to another route is
called POINT OF CROSSING .
