Title: TRACK COMPONENTS FOR 125-TON CARS
Accession Number: 00469506
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Each track component is considered in turn and its engineering development is reviewed. Maintenance equipment is similarly reviewed. Ties and fasteners are identified as items to which an engineered approach could produce significant advances in cost-effective track. A detailed description is then given of the dynamic behavior of ties and how it is influenced by impact loading from equipment. Development of tie design from in-track measurements and the benefits of engineered tie pads are also discussed. Finally, suggestions are given for track for 125-ton cars, and the need to control damage caused by defective wheels is identified.
