What is the distance between railway tracks?

ANSWER:4 feet, 8 1/2 inches. Rail gauge is the distance between the inner sides of the heads of the two load bearing parallel rails that make up a single railway line. Sixty percent of the world's railways use a standard gauge of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in)

Why was the Pacific Railway Act passed?

The Pacific Railway Act of 1862. With the southern states absent, no discussions were required as to why New Orleans would not be the hub of the transcontinental railway. The problem was that the Pacific Railroad could not afford to build the railway. To make the railway possible the US government and the Lincoln administration subsidized the railroad company with public land grants.


Why do engineers build bridges and railway lines with gaps in between?

Because differences in temperature cause the materials to either shrink or expand. With a lot of shrinking and expanding occurring, these materials would crack or break down if there wasn't any allowance for the movement. Also these gaps are used to compensate for the weight of the load crossing vehicles which presses the bridge to its maximum shear capacity. The gaps serve as this allowance for movement in terms of both temperature and weight. Many railway tracks no longer make use of these gaps as they are pre-tensioned and then placed into position in this "stretched" form. Thus, as temperature rises, the tension in the tracks decreases, but the material does not buckle, since it is already stretched!!!


How to align a garage door properly?
