Not being an engineer but having worked at a narrow-gauge and diesel railway theme park, I know that it was because of the mountain curves that narrow-gauge rails were used in logging to accommodate them because the larger gauge rails could not; "transition curve" sounds like it's a very gradual turn that ever narrows into the required tighter radius.
A K-rail, commonly used in traffic management and construction, typically has a height of about 32 inches and a length of 10 feet. The volume of concrete in a standard K-rail can vary slightly based on design, but it generally contains about 0.5 to 0.7 cubic yards of concrete per rail. To convert this to cubic yards, you would need to multiply by the number of K-rails in question.
For sidewalk code is generally every 30 ft. For a masonry wall it is also every 30 ft. Place celotex every 30 feet on a sidewalk and this will eliminate buckling of the slab. www.masonryworktools.com

They're called taff rails, especially at the stern of the ship
the stiles are vertical and the rails are horizontal, in other words, the stiles are the side pieces and the rails are the cross pieces
The inside rails inside of the main rails are called guard rails. They are there so that if there is a derailment the train will stay within the rails instead of off of the trestle.
There are various types of rails and styles available for interior design projects, including chair rails, picture rails, and wainscoting. Chair rails are horizontal moldings installed on walls to protect them from furniture damage. Picture rails are horizontal strips used to hang artwork without damaging walls. Wainscoting is decorative paneling that covers the lower portion of walls. These elements can add visual interest and sophistication to a space.
Ladder rungs are typically horizontal, meaning they are perpendicular to the vertical side rails of the ladder. Each rung is parallel to the ground when the ladder is in use.

2 running rails. There may be a power rail ("the third rail") There may be guard rails at places like bridges and curves (there always are short ones at turnouts ("switches").
The rails of a ladder are typically held together by rungs, which are the horizontal steps that you step on when climbing the ladder. The rungs are inserted and secured into holes in the rails, providing stability and structure to the ladder. Additionally, some ladders may have additional locking mechanisms or hardware to keep the rails securely connected.
In most areas it is 40 inches
