transporting rails Explanation: I have found the webpage of a company called Robel GmbH with a section 'Loading and transporting rails' - although unfortunately they currently have a server issue and the site is not loading (first reference) hopefully this will be fixed at some point! If this is more serious eg a patent translation, I would suggest 'long-welded rails' (see second reference) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2012-05-23 14:58:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I should probably have added that searching for 'Langschienentransport und Verlegung' for context in German took me to the website of ThyssenKrupp, where it is a section heading and that was the basis for my suggestion: http://www.tkgftgleistechnik.de/produkte_und_services/schien...

| Reference: Info Reference information: The UIC Railway Dictionary translates Langschienen as continuous-welded rail or ribbon rail. The "Transport" seems to be a special train designed to transport these extremely long rails. http://www.tkgftgleistechnik.de/en/products_and_services/rai... http://www.tkgftgleistechnik.de/en/products_and_services/rai... flat car for transporting continuous-welded rail http://www.alaskarails.org/industries/welded-rails.html The lifting of Queens track one last weekend gave me the opportunity to photograph some of CN's Continuous Welded Rail (CWR) cars. I hadn't seen this particular set of cars before, even though I'd seen the CWR train hidden deep in Belleville yard the weekend before. http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.mx/2011/03/blog-post.html |
