ENThe construction of railway tracks involves several key steps, including site survey and preparation, laying down the subgrade to provide a stable base, installing sleepers (ties) to support the rails, and finally laying the steel rails. The tracks are then aligned using specialized equipment to ensure proper gauge and smooth transitions, followed by fastening the rails to the sleepers using spikes or clips. Ballast, typically made of crushed stone, is placed around the sleepers to aid drainage and stability, while regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance and safety of the railway system.
