    Question No.1

    A 8° curve track diverges from a main curve of 5° in the opposite direction. In the layout of a BG yard,
    calculate the superelevation and the speed on the branch line when the maximum speed permitted on the
    main line is 45 km/h.
    Question No.2

    Calculate the maximum permissible speed on a curve on a Rajdhani route with a maximum sanctioned
    speed of 130 km/h. The superelevation provided is 50 mm and the transition length is 60 m. Also, the
    transition length of the curve cannot be increased due to proximity of the yard.
    Question No.3

    Calculate the superelevation to be provided for a 1.5 in. transitioned curve on a high-speed route. The
    maximum sanctioned speed in the section is 120 km/h. The speed for calculating the superelevation is set
    at 88 km/h. What is the length of the transition to be provided?
    Question No.4

    What would be the equilibrium cant on a curved MG track with a 7° curve for an average speed of 50
    km/h? Also calculate the maximum permissible speed after allowing a maximum cant deficiency of 5 cm.
    The formula given by the Railway Board is
    V = 4.35√ R – 67
    Question No.5

    Calculate the length of vertical curve between two gradients, one rising at a rate of 1 in 200 and the other
    falling at a rate of 1 in 400.
