More Information
Summary:A railway safety barrier which is releasably mountable onto a railway track member comprises plastics fencing members/planks (1) which are supported on a substantially vertical post (3). The post is in turn supported on a first beam (6) which is inclined away from the vertical and towards the track. A second beam (7) is secured to the underside of the first beam (6) and is inclined at a relatively shallow angle to the horizontal. A rail foot clip (10,14) is mounted on the second beam (7) and is releasably operable in order to attach the safety barrier to the underside of a rail track member. The barrier provides an easily assembled means to prevent pedestrian railway maintenance personnel from accidentally straying into the path of trains.
