For multiple tracks, the chainage centreline is used only to calculate the chain-
age. The superelevation of each track is calculated with respect to the corre-
sponding (left / right) vertical alignment. The chainage centreline can consist of
a plan and a vertical component. Although the vertical component of the
chainage centreline is not used for any calculation.
Rail - Check Elements and Stakeout Elements
Points can be staked with respect to three basic elements of the track:
Track centreline
•
•
Left rail
Right rail
•
Description
The line to stake out can be a track centreline or, in the case of multiple tracks,
the left or right track centreline. In both cases, a horizontal offset with respect
to the centreline can be applied. Additionally, if a vertical alignment is available
for a track centreline, a vertical offset can be applied.
