1.	The shape of ballast should be _____________(a) triangular(b) irregular(c) spherical(d) longitudinalThis question was addressed to me at a job interview.My question comes from Railway Line in portion Road Estimating, Sanitary and Water Supply Work of Civil Engineering Drawing
Answer» CORRECT option is (b) irregular For explanation: Stones must be irregularly cut, with sharp edges, so that they properly interlock and GRIP the ties in order to fully secure them against movement; spherical stones cannot do this. In order to let the stones fully settle and interlock, SPEED limits are often LOWERED on sections of track for a period of time after NEW ballast has been laid.
