Teams A and B bring or unload the sleepers near the site chosen for the assembling or the ramp, leaving, it
possible, an empty space of 4 metres between the sleepers and the track for the preparation of the site and to
enable members or the teams to move about without hindering each other.
b.
If the ramp is erected on a double track line, the sleepers are stacked on the side of the track selected (Drawing

the sleepers are stacked in equal quantities on each side of the track (Drawing 2).
c.
Team C is only required when the ramp is erected on a track where the rails are not flush with a hard surface. In
that case, Team C, equipped with shovels, levels the site on which the ramp and the access platform are to be
erected to bring the ground or ballast flush with the upper surface or the sleepers or the track.
