	BBC NEWS \| UK \| Rail crash report: Key findings
		In the immediate aftermath the focus of the investigation is on the condition of points at the crossover known as Lambrigg, with early indications that these were the "immediate cause of the derailment".
		A bar designed to keep the switch rails (which move to enable trains to divert or join between two routes) at the correct distance apart was missing, and bolts that secured another two bars were not in place.
		The marks on the crossover indicate that at the time of the derailment the train wheels were set on a course where the gauge was narrowing as the train moved forward.

		The factory fuel rail crossover pipe has a 1/4" outside diameter (OD), equivalent to a -4 AN pipe.
		Place a rag under the crossover pipe to catch gasoline that remains in the rails and pipe.
		These fuel rail adapters make it simple to replace the factory supply and return fuel lines and the crossover pipe with aftermarket hoses and pipes that utilize AN fittings at the rail ends.

	Channel Tunnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Channel Tunnel (French: le tunnel sous la Manche) is a 50 km-long (31 miles) rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover, connecting Folkestone, Kent in the United Kingdom to Coquelles near Calais in northern France.
		The main rail tunnels met on May 22, 1991 and on June 28, 1991, each accompanied by a breakthrough ceremony.
		Eurostar trains travel at high speeds in France and on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, where the tracks are modern and custom-made for the standard TGV cruising speed of 300 km/h (186 mph), and within the tunnel at up to 160 km/h (100 mph).

	Light Rail Terminology
		A rail or other structure laid parallel with the running rail of a track to prevent wheels from being derailed; to hold wheels in correct alignment to prevent flanges from striking the points of turnout or crossing frogs or the points of switches; or to keep derailed wheels adjacent to the running rails.
		A rail joint designed to arrest the flow of electric current from rail to rail by means of insulation, so placed as to separate the rail ends and other metal parts connecting them.
		The transverse member of the track structure to which the rails are spiked or otherwise fastened to proper gauge and to cushion, distribute, and transmit the stresses of traffic through the ballast to the roadbed.

	PB Network \| Issue 35 \| Atlanta: Continuous Contact Rail Transitions Through Crossovers
		The standard contact rail arrangement did not present a problem to the larger consist but with two-car operation, the avoidance of gapping depended upon maintaining adequate speed to coast through the crossover.
		Examination of field data showed that gaps between the kicker rails and the mainline contact rail in the area of the switches were the major barrier to continuous powering.
		Twin rail is a practical solution to closing the gap without transposing contact rail on both sides of the switch machine.

	TSB Reports - Rail 1999 - R99H0007
		There was no indication that the east crossover switch point rail had been forced open by any wheel flanges, and the connecting rod from the switch points to the switch stand was not bent in the manner typical of a switch being run through.
		The rail was laid on hardwood ties placed at 60 ties per 100 feet (30 m) on crushed rock ballast and secured with four standard track spikes and four standard rail anchors per tie.
		The crossover consisted of two No. 12 turnouts, each with a standard radius of curvature of 1,104.63 feet (336.7 m), one to the right and one to the left, and switches at Mile 46.72 in the north track (the west crossover switch) and Mile 46.68 in the south track (the east crossover switch).

	TSB Reports - Rail 2002 - R02W0060
		The rail was laid on 14-inch double-shouldered tie plates on a mix of treated softwood and hardwood ties, with an average of 55 ties per 100 feet of track.
		The guard rail was on the gauge side of the crossover's south rail, approximately 79 feet from the crossover entrance on the north track.
		The gouge mark on the guard rail at the initial point of derailment indicates that wheel lift was one of the primary mechanisms involved in initiating the derailment.

	TRAIN LOADING / RAIL YARD SAFETY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		It is important for all workers involved in train loading/unloading and moving cars in the rail yard be aware of the hazards of rail yard and rail car work.
		Rail cars are large and easily block your view of other workers or trackmobile/switch engine operator.
		To receive the best rail rates, some railroads have put together freight rates based on numbers of cars in the unit train and/or the length of time that a facility has to load the unit train after the railroad has dropped the cars in your railyard.

		When the crossover tube is off put new injectors in the four corner spots in the fuel rails.
		To bend the crossover like that I just grabbed it on both sides by the ends that go into the fuel rails and SLOWLY squeezed it together with it bending in the middle at the top.
		The crossover tube has to be pretty good too where it mounts to the fuel rails or the gaskets that seal it might end up leaking.

	Docket No. 81-0984
		Track 15 continued to be used to store empty rail cars; the northern part of track 16 continued to be used to hold soybean-filled rail cars; and the portion of track 16 south of the dirt-covered part continued to be used as access to building 203.
		With this arrangement, Respondent was again able to move its rail cars on tracks 15, 16 and 17 with the same alacrity as it had before the construction activities were brought to the worksite.
		This standard does not distinguish whether the rail car would be rolling on its own, or whether the rail car would be attached to other cars, or a switch engine, or both, when they are pushed into the unprotected work area.

		The main purpose of the crossover operation is to introduce new mapped solutions that differ from the solutions in the current sub-population so that the cost of the children moves toward the desirable direction.
		The crossover point must be the same in each parent; otherwise, the validity of each child after crossover cannot be guaranteed because nodes around cp can be duplicated.
		Once the crossover point is determined, the crossover operation is performed by exchanging the fanin cones rooted at cp of parent1 and parent2, as shown in Figure 3 (c) and (d).

		The western end of the rail corridor is on the left side of Figure 1 and the eastern end on the right.
		Schduling rail transportation on a rail corridor is particularly complex as compared to highway, water, or air transportation.
		Therefore scheduling trains across a rail corridor involves arranging meets and passes as required for all trains, and while also meeting the schedule for each train so that they all arrive, on time, at the end of the corridor.

	Derailment at Southall East, Sunday 24 November 2002: HSE p...
		The half fishplate which fell into the four foot side was trapped in the narrow gap between the rails on the apron of the crossing and subsequently lodged in the nose of the crossover.
		None of the classic wheel climb and rail head marks were to be seen on the rails, which supports the theory that on striking the broken fishplate, the wheel set was thrown from the track.
		Marks in the throat of the crossover were consistent with impact damage from a fishplate being trapped between the casting and the wheel(s).

		The unique single-stage input topology enables rail-to-rail input without the crossover associated with traditional complementary input stages.
		With the claimed zero crossover -- which I am happily prepared to believe because of the numbers -- at 1 kHz, at unity gain and driving a 600-Ω load THD + noise is a typical 0.0006%!
		Inputs can be up to the rails and the ouputs are within 10 nV of the rails with a 10 kΩ load.

	Trains.com - Custom Crossovers move over Ross and Curtis
		To build the custom crossover, I started by selecting the inner loop as the pass-thru and I would add the crossover approach line by adding cut tracks on each side where the crossover would exist from the outer loop wye to the turntable.
		By hand-placing the tracks around the pass-thru line at the crossover location, I then marked and cut each track; in my case I cut both the end of the outloop’s 072 Wye switch and a 072-radius track that lead to the turntable.
		Also cut out the center fl rail on the pass-thru track from one end of the cut made to the other; carefully remove the spikes and fl rail.
