Problems of design, construction, and procurement for concrete tie track systems, turnout slab foundations, high-speed turnouts, movable frogs, and mitre rails are identified. Design details of the state of the art for and contemporary experience with concrete tie track systems, turnout slabs, high-speed turnouts, and movable points or wing rail frogs are reviewed. High-speed turnouts, frogs, and mitre rail design and recommendations for application to the Northeast Corridor program are designated. Five different concrete ties and three fastener components are identified and quantified. Installation procedures and schedules for the proposed New Brunswick-Trenton stretch are presented. Concrete tie application to and program objectives for the FAST track at Transportation Test Center, Pueblo, Colorado are also described. Turnout slab design details are established and details of an application to FAST are stated.
