Points and crossings are primarily provided on railway tracks to:
Reduce rail creep
Change direction or divert trains
Increase speed on curves
Improve ballast drainage
A crossing that permits wheel flanges to pass through intersecting rails is also known as:
Switch
Turnout
Frog
Check rail
Which component of a crossing ensures proper guidance of wheels?
Wing rail
Splice rail
Point rail
Heel block
ANC in railway crossings stands for:
Actual Nose of Curve
Actual Nose of Crossing
Angle of Nose of Crossing
Approximate Nose of Curve
Which type of crossing has maximum durability and is standardized in Indian Railways?
Built-up crossing
Cast steel crossing
CMS crossing
Spring crossing
A scissor crossing consists of:
2 switches and 4 crossings
2 switches and 6 crossings
4 switches and 4 crossings
4 switches and 8 crossings
Which signal system displays indications inside the locomotive cabin?
Semaphore signaling
Track circuit signaling
Cab signaling
Hand signaling
TRUE/FALSE
Check rails ensure that wheels follow the correct path at crossings (a)
TRUE/FALSE
Trailing direction means looking towards the crossing from the switch (a)
Assertion (A): Turnouts are considered the weakest part of a railway track. Reason (R): They contain joints, movable parts, and experience impact loads.
A and R are true and R explains A
A and R are true but R does not explain A
A is true but R is false
A is false but R is true
A device that allows wheels to cross intersecting rails is called a (a) .
The theoretical point of intersection of gauge lines is known as (a) .
The blunt nose of 6 mm is associated with (a) of a crossing.
Crossings having right-angle intersection are called (a) crossings.
In a built-up crossing, the vee and wing rails are (a) together.
