Abstract: Development of a track inspection unit designed to operate at 4 mph permits collection and analysis of rail corrugations in order that rail grinding programs may be developed. The rail-corrugation analyser (RCA) has an accuracy range of plus or minus 0.002 in. With a non-contact electronic sensing device in a wear-resistant rail ski, irregularities up to 0.100 inch deep can be gauged.
