Talk:Tramway track
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Regarding "grassed track" (which redirects to this article)--it would be nice if some informtion could be given on the pros and cons of this new "environmentally friendly" type of track, especially since traditional railroad track seems to have had the elimination of grass on the track as a major engineering priority. Presumably there is some cost-benefit difference at work depending on the remoteness/length of the railway, but a more coherent explanation would be welcome. --Marlow4 21:42, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Grooved rail" not new
I remember these rails for streetcars (trams) in the streets of Brooklyn, New York, USA about 1950. They still may be there - I haven't been back in many years. Too Old 16:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
