Hello,
I am Loosing my flippen mind over this one. at one time I had the answer for it. but as with age, I lost it. so here is my question.....
What kind of Diamond is slightly higher as it crosses over the other set of tracks? for Example. I live near Shelby Jct. Ashland Railway Crosses CSX here. on the Crossing itself the Ashland Railway Tracks, actually come up about 2 inch's or so. Over the CSX Track. A CSX person told me that it was a "So called fix" to
1) save the diamond itself 2) to help the CSX trains glide smoothly over them, and not cause the "Pounding" of the diamond. seeing the diamond is so close to residents. They would rather have the in-frequesnt pounding happen on the Ashland Railway Side than the CSX Side. which I agree, when I first moved here, I swear my New (Old) house off 110 was going to implode in itself with the constant CSX slapping the diamond. Though I am a avid Train person.
So does anyone know the exact term used for that type of crossing? and I dont think its a temp thing cause for the past 3 years it has been that way.
Thanks in Advance
