The role of paving stones in train tracks

The role of paving stones on train tracks is to prevent the train from derailing, cushion the impact of the train on the track, prevent the track from deformation, facilitate drainage and reduce the track temperature.

1 to prevent the train from derailing.

The paving stones on the train track can increase the friction of the track and prevent the train from derailing due to insufficient friction when driving at high speed. Due to the heavy weight and high speed of the train, if the track friction is insufficient, the train is prone to derailment accidents, which will bring safety hazards to the train and passengers.

2. Buffer the impact of the train on the track

The train is a heavy vehicle, which will have a great impact on the track during its operation. If the track is not paved with stones, these impact forces will directly act on the track, causing the track to be deformed, damaged or even broken. Laying stones can increase the cushioning performance of the track, reduce the impact of trains on the track and prolong the service life of the track.

3. Prevent track deformation

The impact of the train on the track will cause the track deformation, especially for some curved tracks, the deformation problem is more serious. Laying stones can increase the rigidity and stability of the track, reduce the deformation of the track and improve the safety of train operation.

4, convenient drainage

Railway tracks often encounter rainy days. If the track is not paved with stones, rainwater will accumulate on the track, which will affect the safety of train operation. Laying stones can improve the drainage performance of the track, drain rainwater out of the track in time, and avoid the influence of accumulated water on train operation.

5, reduce the rail temperature

In summer, the weather is hot, and the rail temperature will be very high. If no cooling measures are taken, it will easily lead to train derailment accidents. Laying stones can reduce the temperature of the rail, reduce the friction between the train and the rail, and improve the safety of the train.
