PREVENTING DERAILMENTS OF SLOW-MOVING FREIGHT WAGONS

SIKKERHET MOT AVSPORING AV GODSVOGNER VED LAV HASTIGHET

The author examines the problem of derailments in general and goes on to adopt a critical approach to the work of the ORE B55 Committee during the 1963-1975 period, in particular as regards the question of preventing freight wagon derailment on uneven track. He concludes by describing NSB experience in respect of derailments.
