Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd. (TRSL) is venturing into forged wheel manufacturing through a joint venture to address India's ...

Trafikverket has commenced the second and final phase of a project to replace track between Kiruna and Gällivare on the Ore ...

BRITAIN'S Network Rail is taking the lead in celebrating two centuries of modern rail though a year-long celebration called ...

On sharp curved tracks, one guard rail can be placed inside the low rail, where it engages the back of the wheel flange. The simulations demonstrate that the guard rail can reduce the train derailment ...

The heavy oak cross ties from this point to that 150 yards away, where the train plunged into the Thoroughfare, were cut and bat- tered, showing where the flanges of the wheels had cut into them.

Grady from Practical Engineering explains how conical wheels, flange placement, and rail profiles work together to maximize efficiency, minimize wear, and ensure safe train travel. From the ...

The loudest sounds tend to come when the tracks are bendiest, as they often are downtown, when the flange of train cars’ wheels press and grind against the rails. But they are also noisy on ...

Rather than dealing with the bygone days of differentials, Koenigsegg decided on a bevel gear to transfer power directly to a pair of gear-train ... the output flange to the wheel.

Train wheel wear significantly impacts wheel-rail interaction forces and is an unavoidable issue in the railway industry. This study focuses on regular wear, specifically changes in wheel profiles ...

Friction management encompasses both top-of-rail (TOR) friction modifiers, as well as gage-face (GF) lubricants. GF lubrication mediates contact between the wheel flange and GF of the rail and is ...
