Eye-pleasing Guideways

Low Visual Impact Guideways Use Road Right of Way

Stainless-steel guideway enclosed rail boxes present pleasant-looking rust-free appearance

MicroRail guideways consist of a pair of self-supporting 12-in wide by 34-in high stainless-steel rails boxes bolted at 50-ft intervals to stainless-steel T-posts bolted to round concrete piers similar in size to light standard piers. The overall guide way width is only 76-inches. The nearly five-foot wide space between the rail tubes is open except for 3-inch wide stainless-steel cross members at four-foot intervals and a open-mesh stainless-steel walkway to allow almost total penetration of sunlight s o as to avoid large shadows on the ground.

From a ground level view, the rails have the appearance of two very small monorail beams.

Guideways Use Road Right of Way

In the future, automobiles, transit vehicles &
cargo containers will share common guideway

Initial guideways carry manually-controlled passenger and cargo trains

  • Open space between rails minimizes light blockage to ground
  • Attractive Stainless Steel Rails - No Rusting
  • Small, open guideway - Similar to two Small Monorails

Enclosed Rail Tubes Assure, Safe All-Weather Operation
