ABSTRACT:
The disclosure concerns a modular liquid collection system for use on the roadbed of a railroad, particularly at fueling stations. The modules are arranged end-to-end along the track, and are composed of precast components made of reinforced concrete or foamed plastic. In the most complete form, each module includes a central basin which rests on the ties between the rails, and a pair of side basins which rest on the ties at the outboard sides of the rails and which are formed with integral curbs. The basins have liquid-receiving surfaces which are pitched in both the transverse and longitudinal directions and have centrally located drain openings which overlie a transverse drain trough. The basins of the end modules of a series are equipped with removable end curbs.
