Study on Performance Optimization and Feasibility of No.9 Turnout with 1520 mm Gauge in China

open access: yesApplied Sciences
To address the issues of poor geometric dimension retention, short component lifespan, and heavy maintenance workload of the 1520 mm gauge 50 kg/m rail No.9 turnout, a new design was proposed for the 1520 mm gauge 60 kg/m rail No.9 turnout.
