Abstract

The invention relates to a track way for rail-bound vehicles, the track superstructure (4) of which rests on a bottom structure (2) and comprises a track (8) that is formed by rails (10) and rail supports (9) and a track supporting body (5) that supports the track (8). To prevent sanding of the track superstructure (4), according to the invention a spacing of at least 70 mm, preferably 100 mm or more, is maintained between the bottom side of the rails (10) and the top side of the track supporting body (5). Thus, sufficiently large flow spaces are formed between the track superstructure (4) and the rails (10), in which flow spaces sand deposits are entrained by wind, such that a self-cleaning effect is provided.

Abstract

The object of the invention is to predefine a direct rail mount which provides elastic vertical bearing with relatively large height equalization and facilities for adjusting the inclination of the track by means of wedges. At the same time, the horizontal loads are to be applied to a stop profile which is to be installed subsequently, with the result that it is not necessary to texture the concrete substructure in advance. The angular guide panels according to the invention are modified compared to the conventional ones in such a way that they have a geometry which is matched to the stop profile, with the result that the horizontal loads which occur are conducted away from the wheel via the rail and the applied angular guide panel directly into the stop profile which conducts the force further. The stop profile is selected correspondingly so that the angular guide panel meshes satisfactorily with the stop profile under the rail even when there is equalization of the height or inclination.
