Rail traffic is reaching out toward new horizons on ballastless track systems. The arguments are indeed convincing: long life cycles, top speed, ride comfort, and great load-carrying capability. You take no chances with these systems, especially with newly constructed lines: even at speeds over 300 km/h, your coffee will stay in your cup. Practically maintenance free, ballastless track systems ensure almost 100% availability over many years. In many cases, a maintenance-free track system is indeed the more
The actual breakthrough in Germany for ballastless track technology on high-speed routes took place on the new line between Cologne and the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main complex. For the first time, Deutsche Bahn AG applied this new technology on a full section of track: with extremely high levels of technical quality, and with great overall success.
The success of ballastless-track technology is primarily based on the following advantages:
