Raising an existing railroad
Raising an existing railroad
(OP)
I am working on a project where I am raising the existing concrete site elevation by about 4'. The railroad is private and goes through an industrial facility. The railroad track is on the ground (concrete)level. I need to raise/upgrade the railroad to match the grade.
Is there an easy way to raise the railroad, Are there companies specialized in this type of work?

RE: Raising an existing railroad
For a raise of 4-ft, the first option is probably the most effective. You will also want to consider the standards of the railroad that operates on the track (grade, curvature, clearances, etc.) Depending on the state in which the project is located, there may also be regulatory considerations, particularly if you are crossing a street.
