Description

r4 Cablesafe steel railway sleeper. 2391 244 Description.
This design of railway sleeper is for a one piece item designed to be installed in normal railway Sickbeds to give a safe route for cross back signalling and communication cabling. It would be installed by conventional methods.
Unlike a standard steel sleeper this would have a number of holes, grooves and features to provide sport and protection for cable routing. It would also be of extended length to give protection to cabling approaching and leaving He crossing point of Me track.
