Rail Crossing Timbers

These are 6″ x 10″ Hem/Fir #2 and btr timbers which are being used by a Rail Service Company to install Crossings. The wedge shape is installed downward, with the 10″ face upwards. The wedge shape rests against a heavy rubber extrusion which is against the rail side. The rubber sets the spacing (rail wheels […]

These Rail Crossing Panels are going to a private Grain rail distribution point, where rail cars are shunted on rail sidings to fill and organize. The crossings will be placed so construction equipment can access a new build facility. These Crossings can be quickly deployed with minimal crew persons. The 7″ high x 20″ wide […]

These rail crossing timbers are 7″ thickness x 10″ wide x 20′ long. You can see we custom saw the bottom triangle out of the pieces that are closest to the rail, so that they lay flat. Inside the “missing triangle” are the rail plates to hold down the rail. Different “weights” of rails have […]

Timbers for Rail Crossings are needed in a hurry, sometimes to access across tracks for emergency repairs. We make several sizes depending on rail height (6″ x 10″, 7″ x 10″ and 8″ x 10″). We undercut the bottom corners on 4 pieces to allow them to fit against the rail tie plates. Ends of […]

The pieces closest to the rails are bevelled to allow for the rail plates/nails to clear. This makes the installation simple and quick. Additional features might be treating […]

As this picture indicates the Rail Crossing Panels are underneath the train cars in this train yard. Machinery is already crossing the panels as they access the roadway and move machinery across the rail tracks. Nice graffiti on this rail car! Colourful at least!
