Method of reducing cost of constructing Intercity experimental train track

摘要

The method of reducing the cost of constructing the track is helped by the gradient allowed, being made steeper and the centrifugal acceleration and curve passage is also lifted. All of the axles of the train may be driven and the centre of gravity may be shifted down. The weight parts for the drive of the train may consist of a dolly that is attached to a framework, which may have a top edge of the rail which is of a lower height. This cost saving is necessary because it currently takes one man, one year to build one metre of track and costs 40,000 DM to build one metre.
