Railroad Engineering Track – Rail Lengths –39 foot Sections (Jointed Rail) –Continuously Welded (CWR) Section –Pattern design or cross-sectional shape –Standard Sections:» RE: American Railroad Engineering Association» ARA: American Railway Association» ASCE: American Society of Civil Engineers Weight –Pounds per Yard. Railway Track Design Basic considerations and guidelines to be used in the establishment of railway horizontal and vertical alignments. he route upon which a train travels and the track is constructed is defined as an alignment. An alignment is defined in two fashions. First, the horizontal alignment defines physically where the route or track. design within the following tolerances for alignment and level. The alignment is to be within +/mm. The variation between any surveyed locations 20m apart is not to be more than 15mm. On open track the level is to be + 50/mm of the approved grade level, provided the minimum ballast depths defined in clause are achieved.
