Railroad drainage is the system of ditches, culverts, pipes and grading used to move water away from track and supporting infrastructure.
Effective drainage helps protect ballast, roadbed, slopes, bridges and crossings from saturation, erosion and washouts.
The roadbed is the prepared foundation beneath railroad ballast and track that supports loads and provides stability and drainage.
A properly constructed roadbed helps maintain track geometry and may include subgrade preparation, fill, stabilization and drainage features.
A track panel is a preassembled section of railroad track consisting of rails fastened to ties.
Track panels may be installed during new construction, crossing work, derailment response or replacement of damaged track to speed restoration.

A rail-served distribution center is a logistics facility with direct rail access for receiving, storing, handling and distributing freight.
These facilities can combine rail transportation with warehousing, inventory management, transloading and truck distribution.
Material inventory management is the planning, tracking, storage and distribution of railroad materials used for construction, maintenance and emergency response.
Materials may include rail, ties, ballast, turnouts, signal components and other items needed to support railroad infrastructure.
Inventory management in rail operations is the tracking and control of railcars, materials or commodities within a facility, yard or transportation network.
Effective inventory management helps coordinate arrivals, placement, loading, unloading, storage and release while improving visibility into available equipment and material.
A yard track is a track within a railroad yard used for switching, classifying, assembling, storing, inspecting or servicing railcars and trains.
Yard tracks support local operations and are generally distinguished from the main track.
An industrial spur is a track that branches from another railroad track to provide rail access to a customer, facility or loading location.
An industrial spur may include switches, curves, crossings and loading or storage tracks designed around the customer’s operations.
A main track (or mainline) is a track extending through yards and between stations over which trains operate under the authority of a railroad operating system.
Main tracks generally support through movements and are distinguished from yard, siding, industry and other auxiliary tracks.
