GA TECH RAILROAD DIAGRAM
JULY 2025
A Georgia Tech Professor for Civil Engineering contacted me with a request for a comprehensive informational diagram to be used in lectures and homework assignments, knowing that visual communication was vital to the learning process and absorption of information.
Cross-Sectional Diagram of Track and Track Support System (Garrett).
Examples provided did not have the desired clarity and cohesion. The professor expressed frustration in the disjointed visual communication that often left her students confused or misinformed.
Diagram of Ballasted vs Ballastless Track (Hu et al. 2022)
Cross-Section Diagram of Rail Track and Infrastructure (Railway Technical).
MY DIAGRAM
The diagram I created, using previous references and explicit instructions from the professor, provided the desired level of detail, visual appeal, and consolidation of information.
