DB DEVELOPS STANDARDS FOR TOMORROW'S TRACK

DB track development is characterised by a trend towards higher speeds and heavier axle loads. Combined with higher train frequencies, this has resulted in a significant increase over the last 10 years in the stress and forces to which track is subject. Track requirements are particularly demanding on the main arteries, where 85% of all DB traffic is carried on 12,000 km of route.
