Rail Grinding Strategies for Achieving Optimum Results: An Inventory

A standard practice among all major railways is rail grinding. Nobody questions rail grinding's positive effects, and there has been extensive discussion of its application. Optimum results will only be achieved if any maintenance activity is deployed under optimal conditions. In order to maximize output and minimize costs, this requires, well in advance, accurate planning. Rail grinding needs to be strategically executed, and should not just be carried out when found useful or necessary.
