After the success of Modern Railway Track this Second
Edition is an extension and complete revision of the original book, in which
the developments of the last ten years have been incorporated. The research
projects carried out at the Railway Engineering Group of Delft University of
Technology have played a central role. The theory of railway track and
vehicle track interaction has been substantially enhanced and much more
attention has been given to dynamics.
Undoubtedly one of the most important extensions was the part on slab track
structures. But also track management systems have been given much more
attention. Numerical optimization and testing, as well as acceptance are new
chapters.
This book should prove to be a useful contribution to the training and
instruction of permanent way engineers. The concept of integrated quality
control presented will provide managers responsible for track maintenance
and renewal with effective cost-saving tools.
