Rubber-coated ballast demonstrates improved track …

Deviations in track geometry due to ballast degradation is a major challenge for heavy-haul railways. Frequent ballast replenishment is necessary to restore the integrity of the track but at a significant cost to the asset maintainer. Ballast cleaning is one possible solution, but is expensive, so infrastructure managers are often forced to ...

Because the track is on a bed of ballast it is easy for the track gang to raise or lower the track to ensure smoothness as well as adding any special enhancements such as super elevations on corners. Also this means the track is raised off the floor and the ballast acts as a natural soak away to stop water from flooding the tracks.
