Yes there will be further ramping especially bringing the level up by 3 meters. <BR/>The site plan reveals the ramping distances. I have been informed by a transport specialist that the ramp will be required to be at a minimum of 1:40 so will require a distance of 120 meters that has been marked on the site plan. <BR/>The ramps will be intergrated into my design but not form part of my site.<BR/>The Bijlmer Station, Amsterdam does in part also raise the train lines up by 2 meters.RICKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223172941122024095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653317125183771134.post-19332189095189730872009-02-19T04:52:00.000-08:002009-02-19T04:52:00.000-08:00Good point, Dan.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rulin...Good point, Dan.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruling_gradientKarl Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03130614906054414525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653317125183771134.post-38382251536105111892009-02-19T04:17:00.000-08:002009-02-19T04:17:00.000-08:00will there not need to be more of the track lifted...will there not need to be more of the track lifted than you have highlighted? what gradient can a train travel up hill to get 3 meters above the existing level? the track might need to be raised for hundreds of meters out of the station in order to get to that level, have you seen any examples of where this kind of alteration has been made before?DANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09729571790201151046noreply@blogger.com
