    We are profoundly grateful to MRS. KAVYA SHREE Y ,
    HOD , CIVIL DEPARTEMENT for her suggestion and guidance to complete
    the presentation.
    We are gratefully acknowledge all my friends,
    classmate, and

    the presentation.
    WELCOME TO INDIAN RAILWAYS
    TYPES OF
    TRAINS
    RAILWAY
    ENGINEERING
    -The branch of civil engineering which deals with
    the design, construction and maintenance of the
    railway tracks for safe and efficient movements
    of trains is called Railway Engineering .
    CONTENTS

    • BALLAST
    • RAILS
    • SLEEPERS
    • POINT OF CROSSINGS
    • POINTS OF SWITCH
    BALLAST
    • Ballast is the granular material usually broken stone or bricks
    single and canker, gravel and sand placed and packed and
    around the sleeper to transmit Load from sleeper to formation
    Layer. Size =20mm-65mm
    RAILS
    • The rolled steel sections laid end to end in two parallel
    lines over sleepers to form a railway track are known
    as RAILS.
    TYPES OF RAILS
    • The rails used in the construction of railway track can
    be divided into the following three types :-

    • Double Headed rails (D.H Rail)


    • Flat Footed Rails ( F.F Rail)
    • Bull Headed Rails (B.H. Rail)
    RAIL JOINTS

    • FISH PLATE JOINT


    • FASTENERS JOINT
    • SLIDE CHAIRS JOINT
    • JUNCTION PLATE JOINT
    • BEARING PLATE JOINT
    • CHAIRS
    SLEEPERS

    • Sleepers are members generally laid transvers to the rails, on


    which the rails are fixed to transfer the loads from the rails to the
    ballast and the subgrade.
    • TYPES OF SLEEPERS
    • Wooden Sleepers
    • Metal Sleepers
    • Concrete Sleepers
    POINT OF CROSSING

    • Points, Crossings, 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.
    COMPONENTS OF SWITCH

    • A Pair of stock rail.


    • A Pair of tongue rai.
    • Heel Block.
    • Stretcher Bar.
    • Slide Chair.
    POINT OF SWITCH

    •A SWITCH consist of stock


    rail and tongue rail.
    - A Point is consist of left hand and
    right hand switch.
    CONCLUSION

    • The world’s largest railway networks comprising 115,000km


    track and 7,112 stations.
    • High Speed over Long Distances.
    • IR carried 8.397 billion passengers annually or more than
    2.3 million passengers a day.
    • It is the cheapest mode of transportation & Safe.
    THANK
    YOU
