Why Railway Tracks Have Stones? | Track Ballast Explained in Hindi/Urdu

Discover the fascinating engineering behind railway tracks! Have you ever wondered why sharp, crushed stones—known as track ballast—are spread along train tracks worldwide? In this deep dive, we explore how these seemingly simple stones perform a vital, 24/7 job to keep the entire railway network safe and running smoothly. From holding concrete sleepers firmly in place and distributing the massive weight of heavy trains to absorbing structural vibrations and providing critical water drainage during heavy rains, track ballast is the unsung hero of railway infrastructure. Learn how railway authorities maintain track stability, prevent weed growth, and clean or replace contaminated stones using specialized Ballast Cleaning Machines (BCM).
