Title: PROFILE RAIL GRINDING OFFERS EVEN MORE ON CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEMS
Abstract: The benefits of rail profile grinding have been evident on Class I and other interchange railroads for several years. Rail grinding and wheel maintenance programs can control problems such as rail corrugation, shelling and fatigue, excessive rail gauge/wheel flange wear, wheel shelling, wheelset hunting, noise and other problems on these types of railroads. This article examines the dividends rail profile grinding has shown on closed loop, captive fleet freight and transit systems which offer the potential for greater control and finer tuning of the wheel/rail interface.
