- 9. Ballast is the granular material usually broken stone or bricks single and kankar, gravel and sand placed and packed and around the sleeper to transmit Load from sleeper to formation Layer. Size = 20mm – 65mm BALLAST 9
- 10. The Combination of Rails, filled on Sleepers and resting on ballast and sub-grade is called permanent way. PERMANENT WAY 10

- 12. The rolled steel sections laid end to end in two parallel lines over sleepers to form a railway track are known as RAILS. RAILS 12
- 13. The rails used in the construction of railway track can be divided into the following three types : (1) Double Headed Rails (D.H. Rail) (2) Flat Footed Rails (F.F. Rail) (3) Bull Headed Rails (B.H. Rail) TYPES OF RAILS :- 13
- 14. The rails having their head and foot of same dimensions are known as double headed rail (D.H.). 1. DOUBLE HEADED RAIL :- 14
- 15. The rail section having their foot rolled to a flat are known as flat footed rails. 2. FLAT FOOTED RAILS :- 15
- 16. The rails sections having their head of more dimension then that of their foot are known as bull headed rails (B.H.). 3. BULL HEADED RAIL : 16
- 17. Sleepers Sleepers are members generally laid transverse to the rails, on which the rails are fixed to transfer the loads from the rails to the ballast and the sub-grade. Sleeper Density???? 17

- 19. POINTS & CROSSING Point , crossing , turnout , cross-overs and such related terms are arrangement by which different routes either parallel are connected and offered the means for terms to move from one route to another route is called POINT OF CROSSING . 19
