Even though rail engineers prefer to place turnouts and crossovers on straights, there are many situations where this is simply not possible.

So, when it is necessary to place turnouts or crossovers in a curve with cant, OpenRail Designer can handle this situation - even vertically! You can even design the turnout in such a way it can automatically update when main line design changes.

During this session, we will show:

  • How to place turnouts in the curve
  • How to connect turnouts using Geometry Connector
  • How to create the profile of the crossover at lower rail elevation
  • How to create cant along the crossover with adverse cant
