This document discusses railway track drainage. It begins by introducing track drainage and distinguishing between surface and sub-surface drainage. Sources of moisture that can affect tracks are then outlined. The importance of track drainage is discussed, noting that it prevents problems like wet earth clogging ballast and ballast sinking into wet earth. Surface drainage and various methods of sub-surface drainage, like inverted filler blankets and pervious layers, are covered. Problems associated with bad drainage like clogging and ballast sinking are explained, along with remedies for those issues.
