In Great Britian, when track is being laided, there is a track machine used to "tamper" the track so they are straight and parallel to each other.

Why is iron used for railway lines?
Iron is rarely used anymore in railway lines. Steel is used mostly now because it is very flexible and is less vulnerable to cracking and chipping.
How do you make the word engineers possessive?
The possessive form of the plural noun engineers is engineers'.Example: We're upgrading all of our engineers' computers.
How much money does a roller coaster designer make?
Roller coasters are designed by engineers. Roller coaster engineers make anywhere between $45,000 and $119,000 per year. Most roller coaster engineers are mechanical engineers and the median salary for mechanical engineers is $74,920.
How much does an engineer get paid?
Engineers are paid typically based on their experience and skill. Junior engineers make between 40 and 50 thousand dollars per year. Regular engineers make between $50 -70 thousand and master engineers make between $70 to 95 thousand.
How much do construction engineers make?
about 40000
Are the metal rails that make up train tracks an example of parallel lines?
Yes
Are the metal rails that make up train an example of parallel line intersecting lines or perpendicular lines?
Railway lines are parallel
Are the metal rails that make up train tracks an example of parallel lines intersecting lines or perpendicular lines?
On successful railways it has been found that parallel works the best.
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)

What is the denotative meaning of bridge?
A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles such as rivers, valleys, or roads to connect two areas previously separated. It typically provides passage for vehicles, pedestrians, or trains.
What do you do when there are arms are at a railway crossing?
stop (make sure you are not on the railroad tracks)Added: If they are in the down position (blocking traffic) STOP. If they are up, proceed as normal. (Although you COULD glance in both directions just to make sure)
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 do tortoises make their tracks?
I believe tortoises make their tracks just like humans do. By walking.....?

Do engineers make paper?
no:(
