Abstract

The upper part of an elastomeric mat acting as a sound-damping element below a bed of ballast in a track support assembly is provided with a single layer of a knit, preferably a multiaxial warp knit fabric which, in part, protects the body of the mat against deterioration by penetration of the stones therethrough and provides high tensile strength in substantially all directions for the mat.
