Book Description
Excerpt from On the Construction of the Permanent Way of Railways, Vol. 9: With an Account of the Wrought-Iron Permanent Way Laid Down on the Main Line of the Midland Railway The subject of the Permanent Way of Railways has latterly occupied much public attention, in consequence of its important influence on the value of railway property, and great efforts are being made to improve the construction, in order to reduce the expenses of maintenance and renewal. It has, however, been difficult hitherto to obtain data from which the actual cost of permanent way, as at present constructed, can be determined, or estimated. In the earlier stages of railway management, contracts were entered into at prices which subsequent experience has shown to have been much too high; whilst the introduction of express trains and heavy engines, rendered necessary certain alterations in the strength and construction of the road, the cost of which should form no part of the current expense of its maintenance.

Book Description
TCRP report 155 provides guidelines and descriptions for the design of various common types of light rail transit (LRT) track. The track structure types include ballasted track, direct fixation ("ballastless") track, and embedded track. The report considers the characteristics and interfaces of vehicle wheels and rail, tracks and wheel gauges, rail sections, alignments, speeds, and track moduli. The report includes chapters on vehicles, alignment, track structures, track components, special track work, aerial structures/bridges, corrosion control, noise and vibration, signals, traction power, and the integration of LRT track into urban streets.
