RAIL GRINDING AS PART OF RAIL MAINTENANCE

H Jendrichowski

Abstract

Rail corrugation and corrugation on the rail running surface cause premature wear on the track and more noise from train running. The author describes a rail grinding train which eliminates these defects and also repairs defective rail joints. A description is given of the results obtained and the measurements taken before and after the rail grinding train has passed.
