Hi All;
Could someone help me out with vertical scale? Reading up on dubious sites I've discovered the required vertical clearance for railcar tracks is somewhere between 20-22 feet. So what I've been doing is getting the ground elevation and adding 20' to the clearance vertex elevation to net 20' of clearance. This appears to be a very high elevation requirement and if this is correct then many of the asset support splines are woefully inadequate.
Is this calculation correct? If so, is the surveyor vertical scale skewed and I should be using less clearance?
Just sign me "scratching my head"
