THE STEEL RAIL, PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

The author makes a plea for more adequate research into problems concerning the manufacture and composition of railway rails. It is suggested that a joint committee of experts be formed from many railways to pool ideas for rail research. Cooperation should be sought from the manufacturers and information from all railways should be pooled to advance the technology to decrease rail defects.
