    Railroad sidings are lower-speed track sections used for storing, loading, and unloading rail vehicles. Sidings have lighter rails than main lines and are meant for slower traffic. The main components of a railway track include rails, pressure-treated wooden or concrete sleepers, ballast like crushed stone, and turnouts that allow trains to switch between tracks. India uses broad gauge track with rails spaced 1,676 mm apart as its most common standard.

    PRESENTATION ON BASIC KNOWLEDGE

    RAILWAY SIDING & Its Major


    Components

    By: KAPIL GAMBHIR


    RAILWAY SIDING

    SIDING, is a low-speed track section distinct from a running Main Line.


    Sidings often have lighter rails, meant for lower speed or less heavy traffic.

    FUNCTION of Siding:
    • Sidings may be used for storing, loading, and unloading vehicles.
    • Common sidings store stationary rolling stock especially for loading and
    unloading.
    •  Industrial sidings go to factories, mines ,collieries and ware house .

    In Single line Main Track, siding can also be used to pass the crossing train
    from other side.

    GAUGE

    GAUGE:
    Distance between inner faces of the two parallel rail heads is called Gauge.

    Following Gauges exist in Indian Railways:


    1. Broad Gauge (BG) : 1676 mm
    2. Meter Gauge (MG) : 1000 mm
    3. Narrow Gauge (NG) : 760mm / 610 mm
