DERAILMENT COEFFICIENT AND CLIMBING PROBABILITY OF WHEEL FLANGE

Derailment coefficients in running of 2,500 wagons of different categories, loaded or empty, were measured and the data collected were analyzed. Meanwhile, using a derailment test car, the climbing of three different wheels on five types of rails was observed and the data on their climbing probabilities were examined for different values of derailment coefficient.
