FAQs

What is the document’s main subject and standard drawing reference?

The document provides engineering standards for the NO.15 concrete tie turnout in 136/141 lb service. It references standard drawing 5053 and related geometry drawing 5015.

What items are listed in the bill of material?

The bill of material includes the switch pack for power operation, spring frog assembly, guardrail assemblies, turnout rail and closure rail segments, closure/cant tie plates, insulated joint hardware, and other turnout components with specified quantities.

What key installation rules are given in the notes?

The notes require concrete turnouts in approved territories, minimum clean ballast depth for new installations, placement of insulated joints only when required by signal circuits, and specified cross-level requirements and spacing for crossover and turnout configurations. They also mandate preplating and detailed pad/shim and fastening instructions.
