entirely disappeared, eliminating the need for rail transport to communities. In Railroad Tycoon you may find circumstances where a station no longer needs to be served because the local industry has gone out of business, or where a bridge that can be double tracked is a good investment,...
The effect of the rail size and the tie spacing is separated from the formation quality and design charts for different values of rail size and tie spacing can be readily prepared. A simple laboratory test procedure for quick evaluation of the threshold stress of the subgrade soil is suggested...
Moreover, a rheological model is also proposed to investigate the effect of different rubber inclusions on their efficiency to reduce the transient motion of rail track under dynamic loading. The outcomes elucidated in this paper will lead to a better understanding of the performance of ballast ...
However, in my experience you cannot count on that 36% adhesion factor in all types of weather and rail conditions. On wet or frosty rail these units slip and you stall. And when you stall you had better set the train airbrakes in a hurry or the train will slide these units back down...
The initial position (time) of the force transfer of the bevel-end steel rail joint is dependent on the direction and size of the displacement of the stressed area, the direction and angle of the bevel end of the steel rail, the travelling direction and speed of the train. In summary, ...
