Drainage system for a railroad superstructure for supporting sleepers

摘要

A railroad superstructure framework made in the form of a reinforced concrete block is provided on a top face thereof with a plurality of evenly spaced parallel recesses of a certain depth. Each recess receives a sleeper having a height greater than the certain depth. A middle region of the concrete block is provided with a channel element transversely crossing the plurality of recesses. A plurality of draining channels extend transversely from the channel element to an outside environment to allow for water drainage from the channel element of the concrete block.
