Abstract

According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a prefabricated rail sleeper [10] suitable for use in erecting a track structure [30]. The rail sleeper [10] comprises an elongate body portion [12] for supporting rails [14], the body portion [12] including a top surface [12.1], a bottom face [12.2] and at least two side faces [12.3], and terminating at least at one end thereof in a transition joint formation [16] dimensioned matingly to engage a complimentarily dimensioned transition joint formation [16] of an adjacent rail sleeper [10] in use so as to form a substantially continuous track structure. The sleeper [ 10] also includes a series of block formations [20], each of which is at least partially outwardly flared and extending beyond the side faces [ 12.3] of the body portion [12] so as to increase shear interlock of the sleeper [10] with the track bed to reduce longitudinal creep; as well as a series of transverse drainage ducts [26] extending underneath the rail sleeper [10] for allowing rainwater drainage between different side faces [12.3] of the body portion [12] and away from the rail sleeper. The invention extends to a ballast-free track structure [30] comprising at least two rail sleepers [ 10] according to the invention wherein the sleepers are located in spaced parallel orientation on a ballast-free track bed so as to define a centre drain [32] between the sleepers; and including a mesh [34] located between the sleepers [10] for reinforcing the centre drain [32].
