FRA approved track geometry course that covers the basics of track structure. This course teaches the interrelationship of track components and geometry as a combined system. Suitable for any rail professional such as: tamper machine operators, field service representatives, planners, engineers, or any interested workers with a non-engineering background.
Conclusion and Goal
Describe track geometry and recognize faults
Identify and measure twist, cross level, and curve geometry
Use measuring tools and gauges to calculate geometry and compare to published track chart
Describe how track geometry affects safety and operations
Prerequisite
Completion of Onboarding course or equivalent training or experience
Becoming the go-to powerhouse of knowledge, information and executable expertise; that steers the future of the global railway superstructure industry towards increased efficiency, increased safety and innovation.
