HIGH SPEED TRACK INSPECTION CAR

The primary requirement for a rational control of track maintenance is to know the state of the track exactly. A high speed track inspection car of a new type was completed last year. In view of the high speed operation during which the measurement is made, arrangements have been made to take all records electrically. Accuracy of records is quite good even at a speed of 120 km/h.
