[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by trainheartedguy</i> <br /><br />CSX recently installed one around here. I posted a topic (I think on trains.com here) about how citizens of the small community down the line from me where they installed it is complaining that it is shaking houses from their foundations. <br />[/quote] <br /> Yes! I did read that, but I wasn't sure whether on not the the turnout had concrete sleepers under it. There is a disagreement in another forum over the existance of such a beast. <br /> Thanks for the super quick responce. <br /> The debate is over the durability of the sleepers being able to take shifting loads and movement. From what I've read in statments on various companies web sites, there are different load ratings. I'm sure the residents that are affected by the vibrations are hoping the sleepers will fail.
