UFC 4-860-01 Railroad Design and Rehabilitation

This UFC provides technical requirements to design and rehabilitate railroad track, terminals, and loading facilities, along with information on construction. This UFC is for railroad lines operated at speeds and traffic volumes lower than common in the commercial industry. The technical requirements on terminal design are for small terminals handling military cargo: primarily tracked or wheeled vehicles and intermodal containers. This UFC, supplemented with the specified references, provides information for general purposes. Most projects, however, include aspects that are site-specific or uncommon conditions. Designers are encouraged to obtain assistance when encountering unusual or unfamiliar situations.
