This Part of GB 146 specifies the basic structure gauge, tunnel structure gauge, bridge structure gauge and bridge and tunnel structure gauge of 1 435 mm standard gauge railway tracks. This Part applies to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the standard gauge railway tracks.

TCRP report 155 provides guidelines and descriptions for the design of various common types of light rail transit (LRT) track. The track structure types include ballasted track, direct fixation ("ballastless") track, and embedded track. The report considers the characteristics and interfaces of vehicle wheels and rail, tracks and wheel gauges, rail sections, alignments, speeds, and track moduli. The report includes chapters on vehicles, alignment, track structures, track components, special track work, aerial structures/bridges, corrosion control, noise and vibration, signals, traction power, and the integration of LRT track into urban streets.
