Abstract: A constructive solution of a railway capture dead end with a foam concrete coating is proposed, which has a set of necessary properties that ensure, on the one hand, a reliable stop of the rolling stock, and, on the other hand, a significant reduction in the length of the deadlock. Unlike the sand filling of the rails, which loses its working properties when it freezes, the proposed design remains functional in any weather. The article provides a description of the foam concrete coating design and its operating technology. The most promising areas for using the proposed design railway capture dead end are sections with long slopes where heavy trains are being operated.
