Rail Failures for the Trackman: With Notes on Rail Specifications, Rail Manufacture, and Rail Sections (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Excerpt from Rail Failures for the Trackman: With Notes on Rail Specifications, Rail Manufacture, and Rail Sections
Too often it is found that the wrong heat num ber has been reported, causing delay until further examination can be made, and this could easily be, avoided by the exercise of a little care on the part of the Foreman.
Rail failures are more numerous in the Winter months, and during severe cold weather the Track man should be especially watchful for signs of fail ures.
Probably every railroad has careful analyses and statistics made of all rail breakages that have been reported, but in many cases sufficient stress is not laid on the absolute necessity for obtaining from the Section Foreman a complete report covering every rail that fails on his section.

Excerpt from Rail Failures for the Trackman: With Notes on Rail Specifications, Rail Manufacture, and Rail Sections
The causes of Rail Failures and the remedies therefor, constitute a problem which requires the most careful study by every employe in the Maintenance and Operating Departments of any railroad, from the Section Foreman to the Chief Engineer and General Manager.
The elimination of Rail Failures, in a commercially practical way, is the subject of careful investigation by the manufacturers and by the railroads. This investigation has been carried on, for the railroads, by the American Railway Engineering Association, the details being handled by its Committee on Rail.
The safety of the traveling public and of the employe is involved in this question.
To study it intelligently one must have at least an elementary knowledge of the process of rail manufacture, and of the specifications under which a rail of good quality can be delivered, as well as a knowledge of what constitutes good practice in Maintenance and Operation.
It is the aim of this book to give the Trackman sufficient information on Rail Manufacturing Practice to enable him -
1. To properly classify each failure,
2. To report intelligently on any internal or external defects disclosed by careful examination of the fractured surfaces,
3. To make proper entry of above on his rail failure report, together with data concerning track and equipment conditions.
