Crossings with moveable point
Moveable point (overrunning area)
Advantages
- Continuous wheel overrunning area (no running edges and head surface interruptions), therefore particularly suitable for high-speed and heavy haul traffic as well as for mixed operation (different vehicles and wheel set types)
- No check rails required – a condition for high-speed traffic
- Reduced airborne and structure-borne noise
- Highest possible service life because there are no impacts in the wheel transition area
- Can be thermite welded into the track
- With special anti-creep equipment for transmission of longitudinal forces in the continuously welded track
