UP has since centralized control in an effort to maximize the benefit for the money spent on grinding, lubrication and other programs. While rail grinding or lubrication may have a very attractive ROI on their own, they are battling for funding with tie, rail, turnout, yard rehab and surfacing projects, to name a few.

Rail grinding will cause poor surface integrity when the critical grinding temperature is exceeded. To improve the grinding quality and explore the feasibility of grinding operations in rainy days, this study first investigated the surface integrity during rail grinding under wet conditions, including surface roughness, grinding burn, phase transition, residual stress, etc.
Rail Grinding and its impact on the wear of Wheels and Rails 3 2 The wheel/rail contact As the outer rail in a curve is situated higher in a curve due to canting, it is called the "high rail". The inner rail is lower than the outer rail and is therefore called the "low rail". The inside of the rail head facing the other rail is called the
Rail grinding practices and requirements have evolved over the years. In the past, rail grinding programs were controlled by railway personnel who were responsible for selecting the sites, choosing the number of grinding passes and determining when a program was finished. Today, grinding programs and procedures are very different.
"Rail profile grinding encompasses: 1. Control of gauge face wear and lateral wheel-rail curving forces 2. Control of corrugations 3. Control of rail surface fatigue where improvements in average rail life on the order of 50 to 300+% have been reported." Dr. Allan M. Zarembski, PE, FASME Harsco Rail's suite of planning and quality control
Rail grinding quality assurance based on profile correction and RCF control. Rail grinding is used by rail infrastructure owners to remove rail corrugations, rolling contact fatigue (RCF) cracks and for re-profiling the rail. In North America, the standard practice is Preventive and Preventive-Gradual grinding strategy which uses high ...
• Rail Grinding is an effective maintenance practice to control the effects of rolling contact fatigue, restore profile and maximize value from the rail asset.
A railroad track rail grinding car having both vertical and horizontal grinding stones, with the horizontal stones being individually positionable to contact selected areas of a rail head profile and with the vertical stones being mounted on a flexible beam that can be bent to adjust the grinding path of the vertical stones. Both vertical and horizontal stones are surrounded with …
Rail Profile Grinding • Control Gage Corner Fatigue – Addresses High Contact Stresses on High Rail Gage Corner – One Point vs Two Point Contact – Reduces Rate of Fatigue Defect Development • Control Gage Face Wear
The new rail grinding trailer designed for tram networks grinds plain track and turnouts. A power car or road-rail vehicle tows it to the worksite. No staff is required on the rail grinding trailer. It is remotely controlled from the traction unit. In both directions of travel, the ATMO grinds at travelling speeds of up to 30 km/h and blends ...
The state of the art 48 Stone High Speed Open Track Grinder for preventative grinding is fitted with: Computer controlled angular positioning of grinding units with automatic pre-selection of a wide range of grinding patterns according to surface defects and required transvers profiles; Automatic grinding load control
Production rail grinding services can be expected on the entire WMATA rail system to include revenue tracks, pocket tracks, interlocking, connector tracks, yard lead tracks and yard loop tracks with restraining rail. Rail is constructed of 115 lbs. head hardened (HH), heat treated (HT), vacuumed treated (VT) and control cooled (CC) running rail.
Rail grinding mechanism Control system for rail grinding mechanism Optical rail profile measurement system and transfer to onboard computer. Shall be equipped with systems to measure rail profile at a speed >10kmph and storage of rail profile data for at least 100km. Library of proposed rail profiles for various rail sections and locations.
Freight railroads grind for two primary reasons: to maintain or manage rail shape (a fundamental aspect of wheel/rail interaction) and to minimize surface-initiated fatigue cracks that interfere with ultrasonic testing and can ultimately lead to rail defects.
Rail grinding service providers look to supply precise, efficient and flexible equipment. As technology advances to help find rail defects and compare existing rail profiles to ideal profiles, so to must grinding equipment advance and evolve to provide the proper amount of metal removal, operate efficiently to match traffic density and offer ...
Quick and safe – The HSG-2 is the only grinding train in the world that can machine the rail profile at speeds of up to 80 km/h during normal railway operations and grind turnouts fitted with movable point frogs. Track closures and elaborate preparations are thus now a thing of the past.
