4) Attention shall be paid to track condition during operation. If the signs of rail expansion, such as easy
track lifting, hard track lining, temporary change of track direction and height, are found, the operation
shall be stopped immediately. The ballast bed shall be backfilled to recover the track. The inspection
and monitoring shall be strengthened. Protective measures shall be conducted in necessity.
5.3.4
5.3.4 Prevention and treatment of track buckling
1 35mm
1) If 35mm continuous bends are found on the track, the patrol shall be strengthened, or a speciallyassigned person shall be sent for monitoring. The change of rail temperature and the direction of track
shall be observed. If the bend continuously expands, emergency treatment shall be conducted.
2 10m
10mm
12mm
2) If poor track direction is found, no matter during or after operation, a string 10m in length shall be
used to measure the track direction deviation between two rails. When the mean reaches 10mm, an
emergency protection must be set up, and measures, such as tamping ballast bed, filling sleeper box
ballast and stacking shoulder, shall be adopted. When the mean of track direction deviation of two rails
reaches 12mm, if the track bend suddenly expands after the train passes under the condition of
unchanged rail temperature, the stop signal must be immediately set up. The station or the train
dispatching shall be timely informed. Emergency measures such as rail cooling shall be adopted. The
train operation can be recovered after the fault is eliminated.
3
3) After track buckling is found, the rail temperature can be reduced through watering. Track lining can
be conducted after the rail temperature is reduced. Jacking rather than pushing shall be conducted in
curve section. After track lining, the ballast bed must be tamped; the train shall be released in limited
speed; and a specially-assigned person shall watch it. When the rail temperature approaches the
fastening-down temperature of rail, the track and normal speed can be recovered.

the construction. The maintenance center assists and guides. Before construction, the construction plan
shall be formulated; the safety measures shall be drafted; sufficient personnel, materials and tools shall
be prepared; sufficient construction preparation shall be made.

5 2
5) When thermal welding is adopted, the length of the inserted short rail is equal to the length of
excised rail subtracted by 2 times of reserved welding line. One end shall be welded at first. When the
other end is welded, the rail shall be tensioned, making the distance of two marks on two sides of break
