Railway track

This is a group of elements that hold and guide the rolling stock by transmitting the wheels' load to the platform. The classical track is made up of two rails supported on a layer of ballast of variable thicknesses and separated from the platform by a sub-base, whose relative inclination and separation are kept by splice bars. The ballast and the splice bars can be substituted by concrete shields to which the rails are fixed, or these are separated by means of transverse stiffeners.
