Abstract

High-type railroad crossing surface improvements have resulted in the replacement of traditional asphalt and timber crossing surfaces with specially designed durable materials and replacement or improvement of the track structure and the supporting subgrade. In this paper the various types of proprietary surfacing products installed in Pennsylvania through 1983 are summarized and the construction and design problems associated with each product are discussed. To remedy construction-related problems, which are considered to be significant, detailed guidelines for site preparation and installation of hightype railroad crossing surfaces are proposed.
