Grade-crossing surfaces rate Premier’s tie-less modular features, this system meets Coopers E80 railroad loading specifications, as well as H-20 highway loadings for all forms of vehicular traffic. “The Bridge” replaces normal bridge decking materials and track support, with the concrete modular system offering complete rail isolation, resistance to invasive road salt (chloride) attack, while ensuring long-term, low-maintenance service. “The Bridge” can be modified to meet rail and highway applications. Phone: 503-285-8391. Premier Concrete Railroad Crossings—Modular Tieless Crossing System for freight. This design is suited for use in extreme loading, high average daily traffic and curved-track situations. The modular system is designed to eliminate the installation and maintenance costs associated with ties, ballast and rail fasteners. Phone: 503-285-8391. Premier Concrete Railroad Crossings—Modular Tieless Crossing System for transit. This design is specifically designed for light rail transit use. With the use of a continuous rail boot, the Premier LRT Modular System provides complete rail isolation for track electrification. The Premier Continuous Rail Boot provides a quiet, shunt-free crossing surface. Premier Modular is designed to eliminate the installation and maintenance costs associated with ties, ballast, and rail fasteners. This three-piece system consists of a base unit, and two center panels. The base unit sits on a highway-style road base and evenly distributes the load over a large footprint. Rail sits in the base unit and is locked in place with two removable center panels. The base units and center panels are cast to match the rail profile, and act as a continuous rail support. An optional rubber insert is easily installed to reduce the flangeway opening to meet ADA requirements. Modules are available for 100-lb to 140-lb rail, in lengths of 4 ft and 8 ft. Tapered modules are available in 4-ft lengths and can be used in curved track up to 30 degrees. Modules are manufactured with a non-conductive, salt (chloride)resistant concrete mix. All Premier modules come standard with a nonskid diamond plate surface. Phone: 503-285-8391. Rail-Way, Inc.—Supplies full-depthrubber grade-crossing systems in standard 36-in. modules for both tan- nates the use of ties and ballast. This tie-less system incorporates elastic fasteners to secure the rail to the base of the rail troughs and maintain a consistent toe load. A continuous protective rubber rail boot insulates the rail from electrical interference. RailGuard™ virgin rubber panels are installed on the gauge side of the rail to effectively cover the rail fasteners, while maintaining a consistent, positive flangeway. The stand-alone RailGuard™ rubber panels can be easily removed with a lining bar, eliminating the need for heavy equipment, for rail inspection and repair. Widely used in industrial applications, TraCast™ is also used on high-ADT highway crossings, as well as on transit, branchline, port and terminal applications. TraCast™ is available in 6-ft lengths with 45-degree tapered ends. Custom panels are available for curved track. Phone: 815-344-3100. Premier Concrete Railroad Crossings—Rail/Highway Bridge Modular System. Custom designed to incorpo- gent and curved track up to 22 degrees. The Rail-Way system is designed for fast, economical installation or removal for track maintenance. The patented hinge kerf in the gauge pad allows quick placement without special tools or equipment. A fourman crew with a backhoe can install as much as 30 track-feet per hour under normal conditions. The system is available in stock for rail sizes from 90 lbs to 140 lbs, and tie lengths of 8 ft, 6 ins. and 9 ft, wood or concrete. Phone: 563-852-7794. Rail-Way, Inc.—Manufactures a concrete grade-crossing system with pre-attached flangeway filler that facilitates ease of installation and 30 Railway Track & Structures June 2008 www.rtands.com http://www.rtands.com
