  4. When needed ? • Open Line engineers • To rectify defective layouts • For yard remodeling works • Construction Engineers • For Gauge conversion works • For doubling works • For yard remodeling works

  5. TURNOUT

  7. Provisionsof IRPWM • Para 410(2) • Turn outs in passenger running lines over which passenger trains are received & dispatched should be laid with crossing, not sharper than 1 in 12 for straight. • In exceptional circumstances, 1 in 8 1/2 curved switch due to space constrain. • Sharper crossings may also be used when T/O is taking off from outside of a curve keeping radius of lead curve within 350m (BG) (5D)

  8. Provisionsof IRPWM • Turn in curve may be allowed upto220m (BG) (8D) subject to • Turn in curve on PSC or ST sleepers only, with sleeper spacing same as for main line. • Full ballast profile as for main line track. • Emergency X-overs between double or multipal lines which are laid only in the trailing direction may be laid with 1 in 8.5 crossings.

  9. Provisions of IRPWM In case of - 1 in 8.5 T/Os with straight switches on passenger lines, speed restricted to 10 Kmph - 1 in 8.5 T/Os on non-passenger lines, speed restricted to 15 Kmph • Para 410(3) • Permissible speed for T/Os taking off from inside of the curve shall be decided by taking resultant radius of lead curve • 1 in 8.5 T/Os not to be laid on inside of curves

  10. TYPES OF LAYOUT -T/Os taking off from straight track-T/Os taking off from curved tracks • DSis the degree of T/O curve (lead curve) taking off from straight • DM is the degree of main line curve • DR is the resultant degree of T/O curve (lead curve) when taking off from curved main line

  11. Resultant Lead Radius inSimilar Flexure Turnouts Main line with Radius RM and Degree DM Turnout Laid on Straight Lead curve with Radius RS & Degree DS Lead curve with resultant Radius RR & resultant Degree DR For similar flexure, DR = DM + DS 1750/ RR = 1750/ RM + 1750/ RS 1/ RR = 1/ RM + 1/ RS

  12. Turnout Laid on Straight Lead curve with Radius RS & Degree DS Resultant Lead Radius inContrary Flexure Turnouts Main line with Radius RM and Degree DM Lead curve with resultant Radius RR & resultant Degree DR For contrary flexure, DR = DM - DS 1750/ RR = 1750/ RM - 1750/ RS 1/ RR = 1/ RM - 1/ RS

  13. Resultant Lead Radius inSymmetrical split Lead curve with resultant Radius / RR & resultant Degree DR DR = DM 1/ RR = 1/ RM Main line with Radius RM and Degree DM

  14. Representation of Turnout on Centre line. BB B HOC K SRJ A = SRJ to P distance, is dependent upon angle of crossing ‘F’ and not on type of switches, i.e. straight or curved or else whole yard will have to be redesigned in case of adopting new design of a switch. M = Distance from P to TNC. Calculated as M is fixed for a particular gauge ‘G’ & angle of crossing ‘F’ K

  15. Representation of Turnout on Centre line. BB B SRJ K = Length of back leg of crossing i.e. Distance from TNC to HOC. K is dependent upon type of crossing i.e. BU or CMS crossing. For a particular type of crossing chosen for a yard, value of ‘K’ will be fixed. ‘K’ is large for Built-up and less for CMS xing. ThereforeB = M + K is also fixed. ‘F’= (Angle of crossing) is same for straight or curved switch. Overall length = A + B K K

  16. A TURNOUT • A,M and K are known as turnout parameters • For a particular gauge and angle of crossing , M is fixed • K is the length of back leg of Xing and will depend on type of Xing, built up or CMS • A is also dependent on angle of xing and not on type of switch • Therefore for a given gauge, crossing angle and crossing type (BU or CMS), value of these turnout parameters i.e. ‘A’, ‘M’ & ‘K’ are fixed. i.e. The T/O are fixed.

  18. TYPE OF CONNECTIONS • Connection to non parallel tracks(divergent) • Connection to parallel tracks

  19. Connection to Divergent Track Three different situations, as discussed below may emerge – i) When  = F This is the simplest problem. The point P can be located as the intersection point. After measuring A from point P, SJ can be located and the layout can be done. - F

  20. ii) When  > F Angle θ by field surveying • In this case the Radius R has to be assumed. Normally the same curvature of turnout curve is adopted for the connecting curve also. • T = R tan( -F)/2, • X = (B+T) CosF + T Cos • Y = (B+T) SinF + T Sin • TP is located first by drawing line parallel to the existing track at distance Y and then the locations of P and SRJ are marked

  21. iii) When  < F Angle θ by field surveying • Radius R has to be assumed. Normally the same curvature of turnout curve is adopted for the connecting curve also. • T = R tan (F-)/2 • X = (B+T) CosF + T Cos • Y = (B+T) SinF + T Sin • Location of the points TP, P and SRJ can be marked similar to the earlier case.

  22. ConnectionsTo Straight Parallel Tracks • Type of Layout connections between straight parallel tracks depends upon the distance between them & space availability in the Yard. • Accordingly distance between the two tracks may be treated as NORMAL or LARGE distance.

  23. Connections To Straight Parallel Tracks • With normal distance between tracks • With large distance between tracks (I) with no straight between reverse curves (II) with a straight between reverse curves

  24. Connections To Straight Parallel TracksWith normal distance between them Value of S and R are inter-related T = R tan F/2 (R is assumed) X = D Cot F+T • To get flattest possible turn-in-curve, S should be reckoned as 0 and T as well as R can be calculated accordingly.. Connecting curve OL=X+A

  25. Connections To Straight Parallel TracksWith large distance between them with no straight(Case I) it is desirable to introduce a connecting reverse curve behind the heel of crossing so as to keep the overall length to the minimum. Assume R of the connecting curves T = R Tan(-F)/2 T1 = R Tan /2 X1 = (B+T) CosF + T Cos X2 = T1 Cos + T1 Y1 = (B+T) SinF + T Sin X = X1 + X2 X can also be calculated as X2

  26. Connections To Straight Parallel TracksWith large distance between themwith straight(Case II)  = Tan-1 (S/2R) From O1LZ, Cos (+) = (O1L+LM-MN)/O1O2 This works out to T = R Tan(-F)/2 , T1 = R Tan(/2) X1 = (B+T) CosF + T Cos Y1 = (B+T) SinF + T Sin X = X1 + ( S + T1) Cos + T1

  27. Connections To Straight Parallel TracksWith large distance between themwith straight(Case II)

  28. CROSSOVER

  29. Crossover Between Straight Parallel Track With normal spacing between the tracks and with the same angle of crossing. X = D CotF OL = X + 2A 2B + S = D/SinF . Hence,

  30. Crossover Between Straight Parallel Track With large spacing between tracks and same angle of crossing and no straight T = RTan ( -F)/2 X1 = (B+T) cos F + T Cos Y1 = (B+T) SinF + T Sin X = 2X1 OL = X + 2A

  31. Crossover Between Straight Parallel Track With large spacing between tracks and same angle of crossing and no straight - ‘R’ is assumed same as that lead curve radius of T/out. - D’ is known from actual field measurement. - Type of T/out is decided. Accordingly value of T/out parameters A,B will be known. - Ө, T, X1, Y1 is calculated from expressions. - One of the point P1 or P2 is to be fixed on field considering obligatory points if any. - other points can be fixed w.r.t. P1 or P2.

  32. Crossover Between Straight Parallel Track With large spacing between tracks and same angle of crossing and with a straight T = R Tan(-F)/2 X1 = (B+T) CosF + T Cos Y1 = (B+T) SinF + T Sin X = 2(B+T)CosF+ (2T+S)Cos OL=X+2A

  33. Crossover Between Straight Parallel Track With large spacing between tracks and same angle of crossing and with a straight

  34. Crossover Between Straight Parallel Track With different angles of crossings D = (B1 + T) SinF1 + (B2 + T) SinF2 Hence, R = T/tan{(F1-F2)/2} X1 = (B1+T)CosF1 X2 = (B2+T) CosF2 OL = X1 + X2 + A1 + A2

  35. One turnout being Symmetrical Split. T = R Tan{(F1- F2/2)/2} X1 = (B2 +T) CosF2/2 Y1 = (B2 + T) SinF2/2 X2 = (D-Y1) CotF1 OL = X+A1+A2 Y1 X=X1+X2 X2 X1

  36. Cross-over between non parallel straight tracks min T= RTan {(Δ+F1-F2)/2} Dmin= (B1 +T) SinF1 + (B2 +T) Sin(F2 - Δ) – A2 SinΔ X = (B1 +T) Cos F1 + (B2 +T) Cos(F2 - Δ) OL = X + A1 + A2 CosΔ

  37. Cross-over between non parallel straight tracks (I) Given - R, Δ, T/o parameters Find – T - (from eq.1) Dmin (Location of SJ2) - (from eq. 2), X - (from eq.3), OL - (from eq.4) (II) Given – D, Δ, T/o parameters Find – T - (from eq. 2), R - (from eq.1) X - (from eq.3), OL - (from eq.4)

  38. CONNECTION BETWEEN CURVED TRACK TO PARALLEL CURVED TRACK OR DIVERGENT STRAIGHT TRACK • Connection between two curved parallel tracks - connection on outside of main line curve without straight - connection on outside of main line curve with a straight - connection on inside of main line curve • Connection between a curved track to straight track - connection on inside of main line curve - connection on outside of main line

  39. Connections from a curved main line to a parallel curved siding on the outside with the connection having no straight between the crossing leg of the turnout and the connecting curve. L1 NH and NC are the back legs of crossing which are straight and O1 H = Rm and O2C =(Rc-G) AH = AC = K tanF/2 CE is the long chord of the connecting curve and AB is drawn parallel to CE In  O2AB; O2AB = O2BA In  O1AB; O1AB - O1BA = F Solving  O1AB and applying the equation O1B = O1L + LE - BE = Rm + D –G – K TanF/2 O1A = O1H + HA = Rm + K TanF/2 Hence, (a-b) = D –G – 2K TanF/2 and, (a+b) = 2Rm + D –G Interchanging A,B,C,a,b &c we get

  40. X = NL = NH + HL = (Rxx/180) + K In triangle O1AO2 using formula SinA/a =SinB/b, we get

  41. Crossing is fixed first in case of connection to curved tracks. • Distance ‘D’ between two curved parallel tracks & Radius of main line ‘Rm’ are known from field surveying. • Value of turnout parameters will be known once t/out is decided. • Angle ǿ & Radius of connecting curve ‘Rc’ are calculated. • Finally ‘X’ is calculated & ‘L’ & ‘L1’are fixed wrt TNC.

  42. Connections from a curved main line to a parallel curved siding on the inside with the connection having no straight between the crossing leg of the turnout and the connecting curve. AH = AC = BE = K tanF/2 In  O2AB; O2AB = O2BA ( As O2A = O2B) In  O1AB; O1AB - O1BA = F ( As O2AB = O2BA) Solving  O1AB and using the equation, We have, a = O1B = Rm – D+ K tanF/2 And b = O1A = Rm – G - K TanF/2 (b-a) = D –G – 2K TanF/2 and, (b+a) = 2Rm - D –G We get

  43. Solving  O1O2A and using equation We have, O2A = Rc + K tan(F/2) & O1A = Rm – G - K TanF/2, we get X = NL = NH + HL = (Rm-G)xx/180) + K Sin(-F) can have a positive, zero or a negative value as value of depends upon Rm and D other factors being constant. When (-F) has a positive value, Rc is positive and the Rc and Rm are in similar flexures. When (-F) is zero, Rc is infinite i.e., the two are connected by straight line and when (-F) has a negative value, Rc is in reverse flexures to the main line curve.

  44. Cross-over between curved parallel tracks • In O1O2A, O1A = Rm + K Tan F/2 • O2A = Rc –G - K Tan F/2 • (O1O2)2 = (O1A)2 + (O2A)2 - 2 O1A xO2A Cos F • = (Rm+KTanF/2) 2+ (Rc-G-KtanF/2) 2 -2(Rm+KTanF/2) (Rc-G-KtanF/2)CosF ………..(1) • In O1O2B, O1B = Rc + K Tan F/2 • O2B = Rm –D-G - K Tan F/2 • (O1O2) 2 = O1B2 + O2B2 - 2 O1Bx O2B Cos F • = (Rc+KTanF/2) 2 +(Rm-D-G-KtanF/2) 2 -2(Rc+KTanF/2) (Rm-D-G-KtanF/2)CosF ………..(2) • Equating equations (1) & (2), We can have,

  45. In O1O2B, O1B = Rc + K Tan F/2 O2B = Rm –D-G - K Tan F/2 (O1O2)2 = OB12 + OB22 - 2 O1Bx O2B Cos O1BO2 Where, SB = (O1B + O2B + O1O2)/2 BO2O1 = 180o – (BO1O2 + F) .(3) In O1O2A, O1A = Rm + K Tan F/2 O2A = Rc –G - K Tan F/2 (O1O2)2 = OA12 + OA22 - 2 O1A xO2A Cos O1AO2

  46. Where, SA = (O1A + O2A + O1O2)/2 AO1O2 = 180o – (AO2O1 + F) …(4) From equations (3) and (4),  = BO2O1 - AO1O2 &  =BO2O1 -AO1O2

  47. GATHERING LINES OR LADDER

  48. Gathering line laid at angle of crossing P3 This is the simplest and most commonly adopted layout for a gathering line specially in a passenger yard. In this layout, distance P0 – P1, P1 – P2, P2 – P3 are equal and this distance ‘LL’ is greater than the overall length of turnout. The best method to lay a gathering line is by co-ordinates of the deflection points with reference to the 1st deflection point Po as origin. P2 P1 F
