[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by CShaveRR I have seen rubber crossings that could not stand up to the highway loads (there was no way the railroad traffic on the line in question could do that). Besides, the rubber, surprisingly, is very slick in wet weather. Around here, the crossings with the heaviest rail traffic (in other words, they expect to have to surface the tracks beneath them) are built with the prestressed concrete panels. They look like they could be lifted out and later replaced rather easily. I don't know how or if they're bolted into position, but removal and reuse are obviously incorporated into the design. When the rubber pieces are taken out, they're junk, as are wooden stringers. And asphalt crossings I've seen soon assumed the stape of the ties beneath them. [/quote]Your observations are quite correct, sir. Not many people stop to even think of such things, much less observe them. Regards - Piouslion
