| | Crossing into new territory - Railway Track & Structures - June 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | StarTrack is a one-piece, modular, precast concrete crossing that eliminates the use of crossties, and, thus, crossing settlement that is common to ballasted track crossings. |
 | | LT Resources says the new design would minimize equipment needed in crossing construction, address worker safety issues and extend the life of its standard timber and asphalt crossings by utilizing ENDURANCE composite material, which is impervious to moisture, harsh elements, severe temperatures and freeze/thaw cycles. |
 | | The crossing surface incorporates a series of steel support brackets and a heavy deck plate cover and was originally designed for container traffic in the Port of Seattle. |
