Abstract

In planning a new railway line, important factors when deciding the track structure are environmental preservation, construction cost, maintenance cost, durability and construction workability. A low-noise solid-bed track with removable ties was proposed as one of the candidates for new lines. To confirm its performance, this track was laid and tested at the Test Site of Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) and revene lines. Through these tests, authors concluded that it had satisfactory performance as a low-maintenance and low-noise track.
