Abstract

An apparatus and method for collecting liquid spillage at rail facilities including the plurality of center pans (10) and side pans (14) arranged in end to end relation.
The pans (10, 14) are formed of a molded lightweight plastic material, preferably high density polyethylene. Each pan (10, 14) has a molded downward extending vertical drain pipe (54, 78) which fits within an elastomeric sleeve (60) about an upper drain opening (34) in a transverse drain conduit (28) positioned between a pair of crossties beneath the pans (10, 14). Each center pan (10) has a resilient upwardly inclined side flange or lip (44) which fits in sealing relation against adjacent rail (12) at the juncture of the head (16) and the vertical web (18) of the rail (12). For installation, the center pan (10) is preferably installed by first inserting one resilient side flange (44) beneath the head (16) of an adjacent rail (12) and then lowering the bottom (40) of the pan (10) onto the upper surface of the crossties (24) with drain pipe (54) received in sealing relation within the aligned elastomeric seal (60). Then, the opposed side flange (44) supported on the upper surface of the head (16) is forced or pushed downwardly beneath the head (16) where it snaps into sealing relation generally at the juncture of the vertical web (18) and the head (16) of the rail (12).
