    The profile T pr has the same lower frame requirement but reduces the maximum upper body width to 3,500 mm (11 ft 5 + 13 ⁄ 16 in). The more universal profile 1-T has the complete body at a maximum width of 3,400 mm (11 ft 1 + 7 ⁄ 8 in) still rising to a height of 5,300 mm (17 ft 4 + 11 ⁄ 16 in).

    Rail profile Rail profiles for flat-bottom and bullhead rails The cross section shape of rail. There are many rail profiles, often specific to individual railroads. Rails must be periodically scanned electronically, the data inspected and analysed, then re-profiled with rail grinding machines to maintain the safe and proper rail profile. Rails ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_railway_curve_radius

    Minimum railway curve radius. 90-foot (27.43 m) radii on the elevated 4 ft 12 in ( 1,435 mm) standard gauge Chicago 'L'. There is no room for longer radii above this street intersection at this cross junction at the Wells and Lake street intersection in the northwest corner of the loop. The minimum railway curve radius is the shortest allowable ...

  5. Track geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_geometry

    Track gauge. Track geometry is concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, curves, and surfaces [1] in the three-dimensional positioning of railroad track. The term is also applied to measurements used in design, construction and maintenance of track. Track geometry involves standards, speed limits and other regulations in the ...

  6. Rail profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_profile

    The rail profile is the cross sectional shape of a railway rail, perpendicular to its length. Early rails were made of wood, cast iron or wrought iron. All modern rails are hot rolled steel with a cross section (profile) approximate to an I-beam, but asymmetric about a horizontal axis (however see grooved rail below).

    Rockford Intercity Passenger Rail. The Rockford Intercity Passenger Rail is a proposed Metra inter-city rail service between Chicago and Rockford, Illinois. The project is being led by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) funded with $275 million through the Rebuild Illinois capital plan. The route is expected to begin by late 2027 ...

  8. Narrow-gauge railway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow-gauge_railway

    A narrow-gauge railway ( narrow-gauge railroad in the US) is a railway with a track gauge narrower than 1,435 mm ( 4 ft in) standard gauge. Most narrow-gauge railways are between 600 mm ( 1 ft in) and 1,067 mm ( 3 ft 6 in ). Since narrow-gauge railways are usually built with tighter curves, smaller structure gauges, and lighter rails, they can ...
