manuals or any guidelines for railroad underpass?
manuals or any guidelines for railroad underpass?
(OP)
I do not know anything about railroad bridge design, but i have to design a railroad.
anyone knows what kind of manuals or any kind of guidelines for railroad underpass other than AREMA and UP manual available and where to get that?
I am looking for this for days, but none so far.
AREMA and UP manual is lack of good stuff.

Does the railroad pass under or over the bridge - it's not clear from your post what the case is.

It is defined as a underpass.
(However, I think it should be a overpass, since the railroad is over the main roadway.)

CSX and Norfolk Southern railroads have each have guide manuals for bridges supporting their tracks. Other railroads may also. You can get a copy by contacting their engineering department.

I got a manual from SCRRA, but not from CSX.

Sorry I haven't replied sooner, but I have been too busy lately to keep up with the forum. If you are still looking for the CSX manual, the website is http://www.csxt.com/?fuseaction=general.main, then go to "public project information". This contains their guidelines for structures along with general information about working with the railroad on projects.

They always call RR bridges underpasses because the higher-ranked road from a highway perspective (the highway rather than the railroad) is passing under the RR.
