Following are the basic requirements of an ideal permanent way:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The gauge should be uniform and correct.<\/li>\n
  2. Both the rails should be at the same level in a straight track.<\/li>\n
  3. On curves, proper superelevation should be provided to the outer rail.<\/li>\n
  4. Track should have enough lateral strength.<\/li>\n
  5. Track must have certain amount of elasticity.<\/li>\n
  6. Radii and superelevation, provided on curves, should be properly designed.<\/li>\n
  7. All joints, points and crossings should be properly designed.<\/li>\n
  8. Drainage system should be perfect.<\/li>\n
  9. It shoulde adequate provision of easy renewals and repairs.<\/li>\n
  10. The components of track i.e., rail, fittings, sleepers, ballast must fully satisfy requirement for which they are provided.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
