Railroad Stabilization
Santa Fe Railroad
Atchison, MO
Regularly occurringtrack misalignment, createdby
roadbed settlement, had become a major
maintenanceexpensefor theSantaFeRailroadnear maintenanceexpensefor theSantaFeRailroadnear
Saint J oseph, Missouri. Since Hayward Baker had
successfully treated similar track problems for
Santa Fe using lime/fly ash, Santa Fe engineers
selected this technique to provide the long term
solutionneeded.
Electric Cone Penetrometer Testing (CPT)
Specifically designed equipment allows the injection of lime/fly
ash slurry with no disruption of normal traffic flows.

innovative advancement in track stabilization,
providing accurate determination of depths and
levels of stability required, and verification of
improvement achieved. Basedonthefindings from p g
these tests, an injection programwas designed to
stabilize every crib spacing 20 feet deep, and
production was initiated within 24 hours of testing
completion. Work was performed in sequenced
operation to ensure optimumslurry injection into
thesoils.

One year later, an on-site inspection revealed no further
settlement in the injected sections, but the untreated track had
settled as much as four inches. Post injection CPT confirmed a
significant strength increase in the stabilized subgrade.
