Abstract: The International Heavy Haul Association (IHHA) has recently published a five part set of guidelines for improving heavy haul railway operations. Part 1 provides an introduction and a discussion of the best practices; Part 2 covers vehicle track interaction; Part 3, wheel rail performance; Part 4, case studies; and Part 5, maintenance. The major emphasis provided makes it clear that it is no longer adequate to change one part of the railroad system without examining its impact on the other parts.
