) - G> S (8.12) In general, the wheel back-to-back space (B) is a constant for a
solid axle, and so is the wheel width (W). However, the flange thickness (/w) is ...

Track Design Handbook for Light
Rail Transit
The trailing axle travels between the high and low rail, and the low rail wheel
flange might, in fact, be in contact with the low rail gauge face. Gauge widening,
common on many transit systems, increases the actual creep angle (angle of
attack) ...

Wheel-
Rail Interface Handbook
Because of the geometry of the rail and wheel, a contact between the wheel
flange to rail gauge face is a predominantly sliding as opposed to a
predominantly rolling contact when the rail and wheel touch at the rail crown.
High amounts of ...

The following was highlighted: 0 The rail gauge corner of the high leg had a very
consistent shape. 0 The high lateral creep force and the large angle of attack of
the leading wheels of the locomotive causes metal flow towards the rail gauge ...

Lubrication reduces traction stress on rail gauge face and 011 the gauge comers.
This increases the wheel loading cycles which influences rolling contact fatigue (
RCF) defects. Preventive rail grinding reduces fatigue initiated surface cracks.

reduction consists in rail maintenance, during which the track parameters, such
as rail gauge, superelevation and cant of rails can be adjusted. Different values
