RECENT DEVELOPMENTS WITH RAIL PROFILE GRINDING IN EUROPE

Jac Sinclair

Abstract

The benefits of rail profile grinding have been exploited by heavy-haul railways for several years. Now, profile grinding techniques are being applied to the higher-speed railways in Europe. The problems on these lines are different from heavy-haul railways, but profile grinding has considerable potential to improve the cost-effectiveness of European railway operations.
