    Information

This course provides an in-depth understanding of railroad track system civil engineering concepts with an emphasis on design and maintenance. Track components and subsystems will be studied both individually, and as they interact as part of the overall track system. Students will gain a clear understanding of track loading response, design, evaluation, and maintenance. Included will be topics on track standards, condition assessment, and track maintenance and repair planning. A local field trip will be arranged to inspect and study railroad industry track installations.
