Steel sleepers are generally interspersed at 1 in 4 with the exception of Normanton to Croydon. The rails are a combination of short, short welded (SWR) and long welded (LWR) all bolted. Throughout the QR network, speeds through the curved leg of turnouts are governed by the angle of that turnout ie. 1 in 25 80 km/h 1 in 16 50 km/h 1 in 12 (tangential) 40 km/h all other 25 km/h In general, curves (with the exception of turnout curves) are transitioned. Preliminary Track Data and Grade Diagrams for the following major route are included in Appendix E. Cairns - Mareeba (SUR 805 Sheets 1 to 4) Working Plan and Section drawings are available on the CD version of this Information Pack.
