ABSTRACT:
A track rail having a groove for flanges of rail vehicle track wheels in an upper surface of the rail and having a central bar portion and flanges extending integrally sideways from the top of the bar portion is inserted in a recess preformed in the roadway with clearance so the rail is supported from the roadway's surface by the flanges. The rail is shallow so the recess is only shollowly preformed in the roadway. If the roadway has insufficient load-bearing capacity it is possible to reinforce the roadway by a concrete beam around 30 centimeters wide and 10 centimeters deep grouted with concrete in the road surface; this again is shallow for rail tracks. This beam would be recessed to receive the rail as above and also to receive the flanges.
