THE APPLICATION OF RUBBER TO RAILWAY USES

Two specific applications of rubber for railway use are described. The first is for rubber-faced guide grooves intended for use on the Milan underground railway which will use coaches with rubber ties that run on narrow wheel tracks between which is the guide-groove. The second application is that of rubber rail pads to reduce track maintenance and replacement costs.
