    This document provides calculations for determining parameters of railroad track switches and crossings based on two different methods - IRS method and Cole method. Key parameters calculated using IRS method include a radius of 441360 mm for the lead curve, a switch length of 10125 mm, and a lead of 25831 mm. The Cole method provides alternative calculations for curve lead, radius of curve, and switch lead based on different turnout numbers.
