Coordination with Railroad
• Meet with Railroad Early in Project Development to Discuss
• Railroad Track Operations are Very Important
• Minimize Impact on RR Operations• LOA and RR Agreement

Superstructure Considerations
• Safety
–Highway Users
–Railroad
• Required Span for Horizontal Clearance
–Column Protection
• Adequate Vertical Clearance

Track Plans & Sequence of Work
• Bridge Replacement on Mainline• Longer Span and Increased
Clearance• Track Raise• Shoo-Fly Construction Best
Maintains RR Operations
![Page 23: RAILROAD BRIDGE AND TRACK DESIGN AND COORDINATION ISSUES Lloyd M. Wolf, P.E.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55182a6b5503469d318b4db7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Track Design Speed
• Railroad Operating Dept
Determines Speed
• Mainline & ShooFly Same Speed ?
–Existing Conditions
–Future Upgrades
–Design Speed Agreement
![Page 24: RAILROAD BRIDGE AND TRACK DESIGN AND COORDINATION ISSUES Lloyd M. Wolf, P.E.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55182a6b5503469d318b4db7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Railroad Track Grade Raise
• No Grade Raise is Desirable
• 6” Max Raise with Ballast Only
• Use Subballast for Greater Raises
• ShooFly Profile Grade
• Ballast Delivery May Be an Issue
