road bed Explanation: Trackwork has taken the spotlight during the summer months. Work was concentrated on completing the last leg of the wye. After grading and building up of the road bed, ties, rail, spikes, tieplates, track bolts, angle bars and all necessary materials were gathered and work began in earnest. After several weekends work the gap was finally closed. The first piece of equipment that was "wyed around" was done so accidentally when the Commonwealth Edison #4 was switching the private car Ely, dropping it on the west leg. The #4 then went out the east leg in order to get around the Ely and pick up some other cars which would be coupled to the Ely. The completion of the wye marks the culmination of many dreams and hard work. This much needed addition has now made it possible to turn single-ended electric cars and in the case of steam engines, we no longer have to give them back to the Chicago & North Western to take them up to Rockford and have them turned around Reference: http://www.irm.org/railwire/rw68a2.html |

subgrade, road bed Explanation: iz (nezvaničnog) građevinskog rečnika Udruženja naučnih i tehničkih prevodilaca Srbije - do sada je sve što sam tu pronalazila bilo sasvim tačno: podloga puta, planum puta > subgrade (podloga puta, međusloj > base course) podloga pruge > road bed |

substructure - za sva tri, a za pruge jos i 'permanent way' Explanation: Ne mesajte: road bed - podtlo subgrade - posteljica, posteljicni sloj (to je samo povrsina kojom se zavrsava road bed formation - planum subbase - tamponski sloj road base - noseci sloj, i to cesto misle na donji noseci base course - isto noseci, i to cesto gornji noseci wearing course - habajuci surfacing - zastor (kolovozni) Ovo nije ni iz kakvih recnika, nego sa radnih sastanaka stranih i domacih inzenjera, posto sam uglavnom radila zeleznicu i puteve poslednjih 7 godina. |
