Abstract
Improved track formation with deeper ballast of better quality, continuous welded rail, pre-stressed concrete sleepers, simplified track fastenings and highly-developed mechanisation of maintenance was a first overall policy change on BR under the author's leadership. Need of worldwide knowledge is essential in bringing about such improvements.
