UP-DATING OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE SUPPLY OF RAILS. PROPOSAL FOR A NEW TEXT FOR TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION UIC 860

This report primarily consists of a new text proposed for Technical Specification UIC 860: Technical Specification for the supply of Vignole (flat-bottom) rails in non-treated steel. The text has been amended on account of the need for revising certain sections and--concerning tolerances--as a result of numerous dimensional measurements on rails, carried out in the works of the rail manufacturers to verify the manufacturing possibilities.
