ABSTRACT:
A one-directional tunnel system for a high-speed train includes a first tunnel section having a pair of rails for support of a train. A second tunnel section has a pair of rails for support of the train and is generally alignable with and separated from the first tunnel section. A third tunnel section has a pair of rails for support of the train and is horizontally beside the second tunnel section and separated from the first tunnel section. The first tunnel section can be selectively joined to one of the second tunnel section and the third tunnel section by at least one first tunnel switching section which is rotatable about an axis generally parallel to the first tunnel section. The first tunnel switching section has a first tunnel portion including a pair of the rails for support of the train and is alignable with the first tunnel section and the second tunnel section and the pair of rails thereof. The first tunnel switching section also has a second tunnel portion having at least one rail for support of the train and is alignable with the first tunnel section and the third tunnel section and the pair of rails thereof. The first tunnel portion and the second tunnel portion of the first tunnel switching section are on opposite sides of the axis.
