Page 73
2.
The contractor shall establish the maximum allowable length of cable that may be safely pulled into each conduit after obtaining the Wire and Cable Manufacturers recommendations regarding pulling limits for the cables. Consideration shall be given to the following parameters: fill; friction; clearance; configuration; jam ratio of the cables and conduit; weight correction factor; bend radii; training of the cables on entering and exiting the conduits; maximum allowable tension; sidewall load; and weight of the cables. These factors shall be calculated for each pull as required and the Contractor shall not exceed the maximum allowable values of sidewall pressure, pulling strain on conductors or sheath, limits of pulling device and pulling tension. Where feasible, pulling tensions shall be calculated by the Contractor from both directions to determine which will be easier and result in less pulling tension on the cable. The lower tension direction shall be utilized. In general, the Contractor shall not exceed the following guidelines: a. The maximum pulling strain on the cable with a pulling eye attached to the conductors is a function of the conductor area as follows: TM=0.008 x n x CM. TM = Maximum Tension (lbs), n = number of conductors, CM = area of each conductor (circular mils); When a basket-weave grip is used in lieu of a pulling eye, the maximum tension shall not exceed the value calculated for the pulling eye method or 1000 lbs. per grip, whichever is less; The sidewall pressure loads shall not exceed 300 lb/ft or the Wire and Cable Manufacturers recommendation, whichever is less; The jam ratio shall not exceed 2.8; and The coefficient of friction for the cables with lubrication shall be taken to be 0.35.

Relays - Relays shall be tested before they are put in service. The resulting values will be recorded on form provided by Signal Supervisor. Inspection of relays is to include the following: a. Examine the outside of the relay and determine that there is no rust around the coil cores or back strap and that corrosion is not evident on the terminal posts, plug-in contacts or connectors. Be sure that terminal posts or plug-in contacts are secure in relay and that all nuts on terminal posts are tight. Examine gaskets and glass or plastic cover and determine that there is no breakage, the relay is properly sealed, and that relay is securely fastened to its case. Determine that all parts inside the relay have a clean- appearance and are free from rust and corrosion and that there is no loose or foreign matter on the armature or pole pieces. Inspect all visible screws within the relay and determine that they appear tight and that locks are properly bent where provided on screw heads. Determine that there is at least 3.175 mm (1/8 in.) clearance between movable parts of the relay and its case. For relays that have trunnions, disconnect the coil wire and hold the relay so that neutral contacts extend straight up and determine that the neutral armature rotates freely on its trunnions as the relay is gently rocked. Note also that the neutral contacts make squarely and practically simultaneously, except where special contact adjustment is specified, and that adequate contact opening exists. Rock the relay from side to side to determine there is a small amount of end play. Armature should slide freely on its trunnion within the limits of play and if the trunnions are clean, an audible click will be heard as the armature moves from one side to the other. Determine that ribbons are not frayed, particularly at the points of attachment and that they are well in the clear of other parts. The drop away value for track relays is to be not less than 85% of the specified value and in no case less than 0.042 volts for 1 ohm relays, 0.09 volts for 2 ohm relays, or 0.128 volts for 4 ohm relays.

CONTINUOUS WELDED RAIL

APPENDIX A-2 CONTINUOUS WELDED RAIL INSTRUCTIONS
I. INSTALLATION A. RAIL 1. If tie renewal and track surfacing are to be undertaken in conjunction with the laying of continuous welded rail, the tie and surfacing work must precede the rail laying.
2.A full ballast section is required where continuous welded rail (CWR) is to be installed. Tie cribs must be full to within 1 inch of the top of tie and extend at that elevation at least 6 inches from the end of tie to the edge of slope on tangent track and on the inside of curves, and 12 inches from the end of tie to the edge of slope on the outside of curves. Ballast slope should not be less than 2 to 1. 3. Continuous welded rail must be installed at a temperature to minimize track buckling in the summer due to high compressive forces in the rail and rail pullaparts in the winter when the rail is in tension. The rail, at the time rail anchors are applied, must be in neither compression nor tension and is referred to as being in a stress-free state and at a temperature referred to as the rail neutral temperature. Continuous welded rail should be installed at a temperature not less than 90 degrees or more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Rail temperature will be measured with at least two rail thermometers placed on the web of the rail on the shaded side. Rail thermometers must be checked on a regular basis by placing two thermometers adjacent to each other. If the readings vary by more than 5 degrees, a third thermometer must be used to determine which of the two is accurate. Inaccurate rail thermometers must be replaced.
4.
5.
When rail heaters, or equivalent, are not available, and it becomes necessary to install and anchor rail at a temperature less than 90 degrees, a report must be made to the Vice President Engineering indicating the location of the installed rail and the installation temperature. This location must be identified for rail temperature adjustment before a target temperature arrives. 6. CWR installation should be avoided, if possible, during periods of very low ambient temperature. However, if rail must be installed without rail heaters or equivalent, a report of the location and the installation temperature must be made to the Vice President Engineering.
B. RAIL FASTENERS 1. Two rail holding spikes will be driven in each tie plate on tangent and curves less than 2 degrees. Three rail holding spikes and one hold-down spike on the
Continuous Welded Rail Appendix A-2 Page 83
field side shall be driven in each tie plate on curves of 2 degrees and less than 6 degrees. For curves of 6 degrees or more, three rail holding spikes and two hold-down spikes shall be driven in each tie plate. 2. At locations where continuous welded rail is installed, every other tie will be box anchored. Box anchored means the application of four rail anchors in such a manner that an anchor is bearing against each side of the tie on each rail. Allegheny bonded insulated joints or their equivalent that is welded in place to continuous welded rail is considered continuous welded rail for purposes of these instructions. At locations where continuous welded rail is installed and temporary bolted joints are required to be placed for rail change-out or other maintenance reasons, anchor patterns will be as directed by the Vice President Engineering. When anchors are applied, care must be taken to ensure that anchors have full bearing against the tie and that the anchors are not over driven. When an anchor is applied to the rail, there must be an anchor applied to the opposite rail with bearing on the same side of the tie. At locations where continuous welded rail joins bolted jointed rail, the welded rail must be box anchored on every tie for 200 feet from the end of the bolted rail. The number of anchors applied to the bolted rail will be uniformly decreased over a distance of eight rail lengths from the box anchored pattern at the joining point to the existing anchor pattern of the bolted rail. Turnouts in areas where continuous welded has been laid will be box anchored on every tie on both the main line and turnout side where it is possible to install the anchors. This pattern is to be applied to both welded and bolted turnouts. Continuous welded rail on ballast deck bridges will be anchored with the same pattern as the rail adjacent to the bridge. On open-deck timber bridges, anchors will be applied to all ties fastened to the stringers. On open-deck steel bridges, anchors shall be applied as directed by Vice President Engineering. 6. At the completion of rail installation, with all rail fasteners in place, the date, rail installation temperature and maintenance gang id will be marked with paint on both sides of the rail web at the end of the rail as delivered to the railroad.

ADJUSTING NEUTRAL TEMPERATURE A. TRACK CONDITIONS REQUIRING ADJUSTMENT
1.
Where CWR has been installed at a temperature lower than the minimum allowable temperature range, the Vice President Engineering should have been notified as required in Section I.A.5 and I.A.6 and the rail scheduled for temperature adjustment. It is important to complete any temperature adjustments before the onset of the target temperature. Any rail not installed and anchored at a temperature of at least 90 degrees should be scheduled for adjustment.
Continuous Welded Rail, Appendix A-2
Page 84
2.
The neutral temperature of the rail can only change if the rail moves or if a rail repair is improperly performed. Rail installed in track can move when subjected to temperature changes or train movements. As these forces are applied to track, rail movement occurs through anchors wearing into the ties, ties moving in the ballast, or rail moving through the anchors or clips. Rail movement can also occur in areas where trains routinely apply brakes. These areas include signal locations, descending grades, permanent speed restrictions, approaching yards, or similar locations on the railroad. At some locations, such as road crossings and turnouts, rail is more resistant to longitudinal creep than in open track. Rail with high longitudinal forces is often found at these locations. Curved track has a tendency to move laterally when subjected to temperature changes. In cold weather, rail will contract and pull toward the inside of a curve. This is more pronounced where there is insufficient ballast on the low side of the curve. When this occurs, the curve will have a lower neutral temperature and therefore will develop high compressive forces when the rail temperature increases. 5. Many maintenance activities can affect the neutral temperature of the rail. When rail defects are repaired, care must be exercised to be sure that the length of rail installed is the same as the rail removed. Also, any work that significantly disturbs the ballast, such as surfacing, tie renewal, and undercutting, can allow the track to shift in response to traffic and temperature changes until the ballast section is again stabilized.
3.
4.
B. PROCEDURES FOR ADJUSTING NEUTRAL TEMPERATURE 1. Rail should not be cut more often than absolutely necessary. But de-stressing long distances per cut reduces the chances that reasonably uniform neutral temperature will be achieved. Rail cannot be easily adjusted on track that is overfilled with ballast, track that is uneven in surface or alignment, or on curved track. Attempting to de-stress rail under these conditions should be avoided. The length of rail to be adjusted should be no less than 390 feet or more than 1170 feet depending on the condition to be remedied. Where a repair rail was installed in cool weather, the amount of rail to be de-stressed is likely to be relatively short, and a distance of 390 feet should be used. Where longer lengths of CWR are to be de-stressed, working in 1170 foot segments would be appropriate. The rail should be cut in the middle of the length of rail to be de-stressed. Prior to cutting the rail, make two marks on the base of the rail with a paint marker approximately 3 feet each side of the location where the cut will be made. Measure and record the distance between the two marks before the rail is cut so the total length adjustment can be measured after the de-stress operation is completed. If the rail temperature is less than the existing neutral temperature, the rail will be in tension and a rail saw may be used to cut the rail. If the rail temperature is higher than the existing neutral temperature, the rail
2.
3.
Page 85
will be in compression and will have to be torch cut. If a torch is used in Class III or higher territory, the rail ends must be cut again with a rail saw unless a weld is made within one hour. 4. After the rail is cut, remove the anchors from the rail over the entire length of rail to be de-stressed. If the rail was in compression, the rail ends will have to be offset so the rail is free to expand. The frictional resistance on the base of the rail should be relieved by vibrating the rail or tapping the tie plates. Avoid striking the rail during the process. After the stress in the rail has been relieved, measure the rail temperature with a rail thermometer. Table 1 (below) gives the length of rail adjustment required for various lengths of rail being adjusted and temperature differentials.

For example: If the rail temperature was 70 degrees, then the temperature differential, for a desired neutral temperature of 95 degrees, would be 25 degrees. If the unrestrained rail length was 1170 feet, the amount of rail length adjustment would be found in the table at the intersection of the 25 degrees differential row and the column heading of 1170 ft. In this example, the rail end gap should be 2-1/4 Inches. If the rail was saw cut originally, it must be cut again so that the overall rail end gap is 2-1/4 Inches. If the rail was originally torch cut in Class 2 or higher track, the rail must have a minimum 3/8 inch saw cut off the end of each rail so that the overall rail-end gap is 2-1/4 Inches. If the rail is to be field welded, an additional 1 inch of rail must be removed to accommodate the 1 inch Thermite weld.
6.
A rail expander can now be used to close the rail end gap for application of joint bars for a bolted joint, or for preparation of the field weld for a welded joint. As the rail expander applies tension to the rail, it is desirable to reduce friction at the rail and tie plate interface by using a rail vibrator or tapping the tie plates.
Page 87
When de-stressing long sections of rail, it is advisable to make match marks on the base of the rail and tie plate at equal increments along the section of rail so that rail movement can be monitored to verify uniform expansion. 7. Reapply all rail anchors and other fastenings. Measure the distance between the paint marks made on the base of the rail and record the amount or rail removed on the report of rail neutral temperature adjustment. This report will also include the location of the rail and the date the rail was adjusted. Adjust the neutral temperature in the opposite rail using the same procedures. Do not assume that the opposite rail will require the same amount of adjustment.
8.
6.
At the completion of rail temperature adjustment, the rail will be marked with paint on both sides of the rail web with the date the work was accomplished, the adjusted neutral temperature, the maintenance gang id and the length of rail adjusted. III. A. 1. MAINTENANCE ALL TRACK MAINTENANCE Following Track Maintenance Table should be referred to and utilized for all track maintenance in CWR territory on this railroad.

TIE RENEWAL 1. If more than 20% of the crossties or switch ties are replaced in any 39 feet, or more than three consecutive crossties replaced, a 10 mph speed restriction is required if the ambient temperature reaches or exceeds 80F on the day the work is performed. The speed restriction must remain in effect for the passage of at least 4 train movements totaling at least 32 cars. The speed may then be raised to a maximum of 25 mph under the authority of a person designated
Page 90
under 213.7(a). The 25 mph speed restriction must remain in effect for the passage of at least an additional 4 train movements totaling at least 32 cars. The speed may then be raised to the maximum permitted for the type of service and class of track. 2. When the ambient temperature remains below 80F on the day the work is performed, a 10 mph speed restriction is required for the passage of the first train. The speed may then be raised to 25 mph under the authority of a person designated under 213.7(a). The 25 mph speed restriction must remain in effect for the passage of at least 4 train movements totaling at least 32 cars. The speed may then be raised to the maximum permitted for the type of service and class of track. If immediately following tie renewal work the ambient temperature is expected to exceed 80F for an extended period, the duration of temporary speed restrictions should be extended as determined by a person designated under 213.7(a). New ties installed shall be spiked and anchors applied in the same pattern as the ties being replaced. All newly installed ties must be tamped. When more than 20% of the ties in any 39 feet are being replaced, a power tamper should be used.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Ballast shall be restored on the ends and in the cribs of all newly installed ties, and the ballast section returned to standard before slow orders are removed. 7. The Roadmaster, or other designated person under 213.7(a), is responsible for raising or removing the speed restriction after the passage of the required train traffic and after personal inspection of the track. Speed restrictions should not be removed during the heat of the day (i.e., not during the period from sunrise to sunset). OUT-OF-FACE SURFACING 1. Track surfacing disturbs the ballast around the tie and reduces the track lateral resistance. A temporary speed restriction must be placed on all track that is surfaced. The risk is higher during periods of high temperature. When the ambient temperature reaches or exceeds 80F on the day the work is performed, a 10 mph speed restriction must be placed on the track that has been surfaced and must remain in effect for the passage of at least 4 train movements totaling at least 32 cars. The speed may then be raised to 25 mph under the authority of a person designated under 213.7(a}. The 25 mph restriction must remain in effect for the passage of at least an additional 4 train movements totaling at least 32 cars. The speed may then be raised to a
C.
1.
Page 91
maximum of 40 mph under the authority of a person designated under 213.7(a). 3. When the ambient temperature remains below 80F on the day the work is performed, a 10 mph restriction is required for the passage of the first train. The speed may then be raised to 25 mph under the authority of a person designated under 213.7{a). The 25 mph speed restriction must remain in effect for the passage of at least 4 train movements totaling at least 32 cars. The speed may then be raised to a maximum of 40 mph under the authority of a person designated under 213.7(a). If immediately following out-of-face surfacing work the ambient temperature is expected to exceed 80F for an extended period, the duration of temporary speed restrictions should be extended as determined by a person designated under 213.7(a). The runoff from the surfaced track to the existing track must be left in good cross level and alignment with a full ballast section. No condition should be left that would contribute to a track buckle. If insufficient ballast exists on the surfaced track, the Roadmaster must be immediately notified and the speed restriction continued in effect until the ballast section has been restored. The Roadmaster, or other designated person under 213.7(a), is responsible for raising or removing the speed restriction after the passage of the required train traffic and after personal inspection of the track. Speed restrictions should not be removed during the heat of the day (i.e., not during the period from sunrise to sunset). When track is to be surfaced at a rail temperature of 50 degrees or lower, the Roadmaster shall set reference stakes on each curve over 3 degrees before track surfacing begins. Stakes will be placed approximately 250 feet apart and must be placed where they would not present a tripping hazard to railroad personnel. The position of the curve will be monitored after surfacing is completed. If the inward movement of the curve is greater than 1 inch, a disturbed track report will be prepared showing the amount of inward movement and the curve must be realigned to its original position before the arrival of warm weather. REPLACING DEFECTIVE RAIL 1. When replacing defective rail, care must be used to ensure that the length of rail put in the track is exactly equal to the length of rail removed. Prior to cutting continuous welded rail, the rail anchors must be adjusted so that they are bearing tight against the ties. If the rail temperature is below 50 degrees,
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
D.
Page 92
additional anchors may have to be added to prevent rail movement when the rail is cut. 2. If a repair rail is to be installed by temporary use of bolted joints, cut out the defective rail the exact length of the repair rail. A rail saw must be used to cut the rail. Install the replacement rail and apply joint bars without drilling the holes nearest the rail ends. If a gap exists at the ends of the replacement rail, a rail expander or rail heater must be used to bring the rail ends together before installation of joint bars. If the repair rail is to be immediately Thermite welded, cut the replacement rail such that the rail ends will be at the center of a tie crib when installed. Cut out the defective rail two inches longer than the length of the replacement rail. Install the replacement rail such that a one inch gap exists at each end of the rail and proceed to weld. During periods of extremely cold weather, it may be impossible to join the ends of the replacement rail unless some rail is added. If rail must be unavoidably added, the exact length of the additional fail must be noted on the disturbed rail report so that rail temperature adjustments can be made before the onset of warm weather. Rails are in tension when the rail temperature is less than the installation temperature. If anchoring is inadequate to properly hold the rail, the rails may pull apart. To repair a pull-apart, adjust the rail to the correct neutral temperature following the procedures in Section II.B., apply joint bars and reapply the rail anchors. It may be necessary to install additional rail anchors. If the weather is extremely cold, and additional rail must be installed, the exact length of the additional rail must be noted on the disturbed rail report so that rail temperature adjustments can be made before the arrival of warm weather.

INSPECTION A. A special inspection of track constructed with continuous welded rail will be performed on the first warm day of the year when temperatures are expected to exceed 80 degrees. A special inspection of the same track will be performed every day the temperature is expected to exceed 90 degrees. Inspections made because of high temperatures should be conducted between 1:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. each day that high temperatures are expected. B. When inspecting CWR track, special attention must be give to areas where rail is likely to have moved. These areas can occur at the bottom of sags, where train braking is likely to occur, or adjacent to locations where the track is extremely well anchored, such as turnouts and grade crossings. Close attention must also be given to bridge approaches and high degree curved track, especially where track surfacing was completed during colder weather.
Page 93
C. During these inspections, particular attention should be paid to the alignment of the rails. Any waviness or kinky line areas should be inspected on foot to determine if the rail is rolling up out of the plates. Inspectors should be aware of any disturbance of the ballast around the tie cribs or tie ends as an indicator of rail movement. The rail anchors should also be observed to assure that a sufficient number of rail anchors are in place and properly applied tight against the tie to prevent rail movement. D. The inspector should be aware of any track maintenance work that has been recently performed, such as tie replacement, track surfacing, or rail replacement, and make close inspections of those areas to make sure that repairs were properly performed and that the rail is well anchored. IV. TRAINING Each employee responsible for the installation, maintenance, inspection, or adjustment of CWR track, and each supervisor directing the action of those employees (including contractors of this railroad) shall receive adequate training in the behavior of CWR track before being assigned to any task requiring knowledge of CWR installation, maintenance, and inspection. This training shall provide instruction on the fundamentals of continuous welded rail, the importance of installing rail within the prescribed laying temperatures, the procedures to be followed in adjusting the neutral temperature of CWR, the essential precautions in maintaining CWR, and how CWR track should be inspected. During the calendar year following the initial training and each calendar year thereafter, each employee responsible for the installation, maintenance, and inspection (including contractors for this railroad) shall be provided with refresher training to reinforce his/her understanding of the proper handling of CWR track and the proper procedures to be followed in the inspection of CWR track. VI. RECORD KEEPING A. Continuous welded rail shall be marked with white paint at the time the rail is installed or adjusted to indicate the date the work was completed, the maintenance gang id and the installation or adjusted rail temperature. A report of installed continuous welded rail will be maintained at the Vice President Engineering's Office and the Roadmaster's Office indicating the exact location of the rail, the date the work was completed, and the rail temperature at the time of installation. C. The disturbed track reports required in Section III C.9, III.D.4, and III.D.5, will be maintained in the General Manager's Office and the Roadmaster's Office. The reports will indicate the exact location of the rail, the date the report was filed, the amount of inward movement in curves, or the amount of additional rail installed.
B.
Page 94
The reports must indicate when corrective action was taken and what track work was accomplished. D. A report of rail temperature adjustment will be maintained at the Vice President Engineering's Office and the Roadmaster's Office to indicate the date that rail temperature adjustment was completed, the exact location of rail, the adjusted rail temperature, and the length of rail adjusted. It is the Roadmaster's responsibility to see that all disturbed track identified in the reports has had the rail neutral temperature adjusted as specified in Section II.B before the onset of warm weather and all reports are amended to indicate the date and nature of work completed.
