Bullet Train Tracks: Why Stones Are Used (or Not!) | Indian Railways Explained

Ever wondered why there are stones on railway tracks? In this video, we dive deep into the world of railway engineering to uncover the purpose of these crushed stones, known as track ballast. Learn how they provide support, drainage, and stability to the tracks, ensuring safe and smooth train journeys. But what about high-speed bullet trains? We’ll also explore the advanced track systems used in India’s upcoming bullet train project, which employs a ballast-less slab track system for enhanced performance and safety. Join us as we demystify the science behind railway tracks and discover why stones are crucial for traditional trains, while high-speed rails take a different path. Additionally, we’ll discuss the role of railway sleepers and how the entire track structure works together to handle the immense weight and speed of trains. For our Indian viewers, we’ll touch upon the specific technologies and innovations being implemented in India’s railway infrastructure, including the much-anticipated Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor. Whether you’re a railway enthusiast, a student of engineering, or just curious about the world around you, this video will provide you with fascinating insights into the foundation of our railway networks.
