In recent years, the use of steel slag as railway ballast material has been proposed by many countries. Use of steel slag as ballast and sub-ballast material has been recom-mended by national slag association [4]. In the USA, the steel slag ballast is used to elevate the railway line near the California-Nevada border [4]. In Brazil, the steel slag

Railway ballast, for which natural crushed stone aggregates have been generally used, is an essential track component for the distribution of train loads along the rails and sleepers to the roadbed. However, the use of natural crushed stone aggregate causes environmental destruction as well as dust production in train service. This paper evaluates the …
CSX C30-7 #7006 and U23B #9553 (in maintenance-of-way orange) have a ballast train at Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio during October of 2000. American-Rails collection. Of course, while crushed stone (often limestone or quartz) is the aggregate of choice for today's railroads in years past everything from slag to cinders has been used …
BOF slag has been utilized as a railway ballast in Brazil, USA, Canada, and Iran (Hussain and Hussaini, 2022). Previous research on BOF slag concluded that BOF slag has higher resistance against ...
This paper can contribute to progress in (1) improving ballast specifications in China, (2) developing new ballast materials, (3) saving resources and costs by adapting different railways to local ...

Elastic modulus of each steel slag-stone ballast combination is obtained.. A dynamic analysis was conducted on a railway ballasted track.. Five combinations of steel slag-stone ballast were researched in FEM analysis.. Deflection of track components and sleeper acceleration RMS were researched.. Combination of 75% steel slag by weight of …
Stones of 1 to 3-1/2 inches in size are preferred. Hard crushed furnace slag, some kinds of dense lava, and mine tailings have also found mainline use. In steam days, cinders were an abundant source of ballast; limestone, pit-run gravel, sand, and even crushed seashells have been used. The average life of ballast depends on train …
Tamping is the most widely applied means for ballast track maintenance, and it is necessarily performed for newly built railway lines [15]. It is also helpful for improving track stability and ballast bed performance. In addition, it corrects the ballasted track geometry by lifting up and shifting the rail and sleeper.
