TRACK RESEARCH--PART 1 SOUTHERN RAILWAY LAB: INDEPENDENT, NOT ALOOF

Southern Railway's Research and Test Laboratory maintains an intensive hands-on approach in assisting the road's operating departments. The laboratory is marked by the multi-discipline capabilities of its relatively small staff. While a need for establishing system-wide track standards was the basis for systematic track research 40 years ago, today the Research and Test group is responsible for all the road's technical investigations and materials qualification.
