To assure the integrity of track structures, thermal rail hardening has become standard practice on USSR railways. Additional work is now being conducted in improving rail steel metallurgy, on countering the effects of wheel/rail contact forces and on rail designs. In addition to these efforts, the Ministry of Transport, Department of Rail Economy, has prepared specifications on other components intended to improve the reliability of the track structure. There follows a listing of 39 State Standards for rail ballast, crossties, rail fasteners, rail joints, switch points, frogs, and wood preservatives.
