• Railroad is a permanent road having a line of rails fixed to ties and laid on a roadbed
and providing a track for cars or equipment drawn by locomotives or propelled by
self-contained motors.
• Various kinds of sleepers:
▪ Wooden sleeper : length 200-220 cm
▪ Steel sleeper : length 2 m; high 15 cm
▪ Concrete sleeper
• Standard ballast requirements:
✓ Width 2,5 cm-6 cm
✓ Have at least 3 corners that function to withstand vibrations
• Rail width on the island of Java : 1067 cm
• The width of the rail outside Java and fast trains : 1435 cm
• To slow down the decay of wood given oil
• Rail structure :
➢ Rails
➢ Sleepers 180 kg
➢ Ballast & sub ballast
➢ Blanket
➢ Subgrade : thick 30-60 cm
➢ Subsoil
• Long continuous rail 300 m, every 25 m there is a rail connection
• In the bearing area there is yellow paint which means there is electricity
• Switching rode : electrical and mechanical
• The service life of wooden rail sleepers is 20 years
• There is a drainage beside the tracks to collect rainwater and avoid flooding in the
rail area
• Sleeper distance to other sleeper 60 cm, how to calculate from the middle of the
sleeper to another sleeper
• Ballast in the middle of the rail must not be compacted because it can break if it hits
the rail
• Rail profile meter to measure rail wear
• on the turnout using wooden sleepers because each turnout has a different size so
that it is easy to shape
• On the turnout using wooden sleepers because each turnout has a different size so
that it is easy to shape
• The width of the tongue of the rail with the rail lantak is 34 mm
• The size of the point angle
✓ 1:8
✓ 1:10
✓ 1:12
✓ 1:20
• Given a forced rail at the turnout to keep the wheels from falling off
• Hydraulics to compact the ballast
• Excess rail sleepers :
❖ Concrete sleepers : durable and long lasting
❖ Wooden sleepers : easy to move and size can be customized
❖ Steel sleepers : more durable than Concrete sleepers
• Lack of rail sleepers :
❖ Concrete sleepers : heavy and less vibration resistant
❖ Wooden sleepers : weathered easily
❖ Steel sleepers : heavy and easy to rust
