The main advantage of a cement concrete sleeper, is :
-
Rail tops of a track are placed
-
The gradient on which an additonal engine is required to negotiate the gradient, is called
-
Pick up the correct statement from the following:
-
If D is the distance between the parallel sidings and β is the limiting angle of crossings, the distance between the noses of crossing measured parallel to the main track, is
-
To avoid the damage of nose of crossing, the wing rails are ramped so that nose of crossing remains at a lower level by
A.
The line which connects a number of parallel tracks, and also provides an access to main track, is called a gathering line |
B.
With a diagonal gathering line, the length of the siding decreases with increase of its distance from main track |
C.
To have sidings of same length, a diagonal line is laid at one end and a parallel gathering line at the other end |
D.
For most economical layout of yards, the gathering lines are laid at the limiting angle |
E.
All the above. |
