Track and bridge technology / Safety and guiding device

Guide rails are used in particularly critical areas as derailment protection to prevent major damage to adjacent structures (such as bridges). For this purpose, another standard rail is attached to the sleeper next to the running rail. This creates a guide groove which ensures that the train is kept on track in a controlled manner. In this context, the safety device serves as the inlet and outlet of the system. Depending on requirements, the sleepers can be designed for a single-sided or double-sided installation.
