Accession Number: 00611112
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The recent efforts of Southern Pacific Lines in controlling the behavior of continuous welded rail are presented. The three principal causes of track buckling are presented, and standards, instructions, rules, and procedures in effect on Southern Pacific Lines that are used to prevent track buckling are discussed in detail. Southern Pacific Lines' training programs for maintenance-of-way employees and locomotive engineers in preventing track buckling are also presented. Also included in the paper are the chief engineer's instructions on track maintenance to protect against lateral track movement, track buckling, and pull-aparts and Operating Rule 465, Train Handling over Disturbed Track.
