DIP Under Railroad
DIP Under Railroad
(OP)
Hey guys I need your help.
I have an existing 2x6 culvert approx 1.8' under an railroad track. I was going to replace it with 42" Class 54 or 56 DIP(.017%) but I have no room for elevation change. The Prop DIP will be around 1.8' below the bottom of the track. Do you guys have any idea what I should do? I got the OK from the RR to "open Cut". Would the class 54 or 56 hold up to an E-80 load rating giving the cover. ALso, I tried to 2X barrells but still would put me around 2-30" pipes and also tried to used concrete elliptical=no help. Thanks again

What is the purpose of the culvert? Why are you replacing it?

Open cut will also require additional work involving rail, ties and other track material that generally must be performed by railroad employees at the expense of the Owner.
Each railroad has very specific requirements and these should be reviewed.
