METHOD AND DEVICE FOR HIGH-SPEED OPERATION OF PASSENGER TRAIN ON SINGLE-TRACK RAILWAY Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B61B5/00 B61B13/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to railway transport. Proposed method consists in running the train on single-track way mounted at supports. Load at bearing supports and track are defined as 5 to 15 percent of train weight at cruising speed of 350-400 km/h. Train wings generate lift at high-speed oncoming airflow to shift train weight load from track bearing assemblies to air. Track is divided into two or more branches at points of short stops or train park. Note here that said parks are arranged in very 100-200-300 km at inhabited localities to allow through motion in one and another direction at a time on single-track way. Proposed device comprises rolling stock with cars. Every car of said train is equipped with wings built in car body to create lift at high-speed oncoming airflow to shift train weight load from track bearing assemblies to air. Wings are sized so that load at bearing supports and track are defined as 5 to 15 percent of train weight at cruising speed of 350-400 km/h. Train wings are mounted at cars, at least one wing per car.

EFFECT: decreased train load at track bearing supports.
