  • Patent number: 6415987
    Abstract: A method for collecting liquid spillage at rail facilities using a structure that may include a plurality of center pans (10) and side pans (14) arranged in end to end relation. The pans (10, 14) are formed of a plastic material, preferably high density polyethylene. Each pan (10, 14) has a vertical drain pipe (54, 78) which fits within an elastomeric sleeve (60) about an upper drain opening (34) in a transverse drain conduit (28) positioned between a pair of crossties beneath the pans (10, 14). Each center pan (10) has a resilient upwardly inclined side flange or lip (44). For installation, the center pan (10) is preferably installed by first inserting one resilient side flange (44) beneath the head (16) of an adjacent rail (12) and then lowering the bottom (40) of the pan (10) onto the upper surface of the crossties (24) with drain pipe (54) received in sealing relation within the aligned elastomeric seal (60).
